December 26, 2011
The garden of Gethsemane is a place, even today, for tears. It is here that Jesus asked His disciples to pray with him. However, instead of praying they fell asleep, prompting the Savior to ask, “Could you not watch with me one hour?" Today Erwin Lutzer asks that question anew.

Living With Your Passions
In a hyper-sexualized culture, sex is either reduced to pleasure-seeking or conflated with our identity. But God designed us as sexual beings for emotional and spiritual intimacy whose highest calling is to worship Him. In this revised edition, Pastor Erwin Lutzer draws on forty years of ministry experience to present a rationale for sexual purity. He gives an honest answer to the sexual pressures we face like extramarital relationships, self-gratification, same-sex attraction, and more. As desire-driven creatures, we don't have to pursue happiness at the expense of character. With our identity grounded in Christ, we can live victoriously with our passions.

They wanted a leader to overthrow their oppressors. But Jesus had a larger deliverance to make: a deliverance from the power of sin. Today: we’ll see Jesus from God’s vantage point. Stay with us.

In a Nazareth synagogue, Jesus opened a scroll of Isaiah the prophet and began to read. A hush fell over the audience. He read of good news for the poor, freedom for prisoners, sight for the blind, and liberty for the oppressed, ending by saying, “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your ears.” Only the Son of God could say that. Turn to Luke 4, and stay with us.

In general, kings do not perform the role of servants. They have a retinue of people whose sole job it is to serve the king’s needs. Jesus will return one day as King of Kings. But in His first coming He was a servant to the will of God, giving His life to save His people from their sins. Today: we begin a look into three chapters of Isaiah, chapters that reveal what kind of servant Jesus was. Stay with us.

Americans have little use for kings. Kings have absolute rule…that’s why we declared independence in 1776. Kings have a total claim on people’s lives, time, and taxes. We’re not used to that these days…we see kings as relics of a bygone era. But today: we’ll see why Christ is the long foretold King of Kings, and what that title means. Stay with us.

When light hits a diamond, the facets reflect brilliantly. We see flashes of color in the radiance of the pure white core. Like a diamond, the purity of Jesus radiates in many facets as we behold His glory. Isaiah gave us names to describe these characteristics in the ninth chapter of his prophecy. Today: a look at the names ascribed to Christ, and what they mean. Stay with us.

Today: we’re set to rectify that imbalance. Stay with us.
