Running To Win

The Challenge of Raising Cain, Part 2 of 2

April 13, 2012
We all recoil hearing stories of killers who slay without conscience or remorse. We are especially disturbed when these people complain if they are not treated properly. In their twisted minds they have a double standard. They are like Cain of old. Although he had no sorrow after killing Abel, he was quite worried that someone might kill him. Today we will seek to understand the mind of the self-absorbed.

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.

Have you ever met a destroyer? A destroyer is someone who can inflict tremendous hurt without feeling any guilt. Sadly, destroyers are everywhere. Although they are tuned in to their own pain, they are incapable of caring whether their victims are in pain or not. Destroyers are nothing new. In fact, the first destroyer was born into mankind’s first family. Today we will learn what motivates destroyers.

Trying to predict all the effects of being offended is like trying to predict where all the waves will go when you toss a rock into a pond. When we react to an offense, collateral damage is very likely. Join us today for an eye-opening look into the unintended consequences of harboring an offense rather than seeking reconciliation.

It is instinctive to recoil from pain. But then there is inner pain. Some conflict in life is inevitable. But when others cause our conflicts, it is hard to escape that pain. Something inside each of us cries out for justice. Today we are beginning a series to help us deal with the wrongs that others inflict.

Although the church celebrates the resurrection of Jesus every year, in one sense it celebrates that great event every week. On the first day of the week His disciples found their crucified Lord very much alive. Every Sunday since, God’s people have gathered to mark the raising of Jesus from the dead. He is indeed the Victor over the grave. Since we are His followers, we too shall have victory.

Many people have said things about Jesus, adding their biases to the biblical account of His life. But the most attested fact of ancient history is the bodily resurrection of Jesus. It is that resurrection which gives us the promise of our own resurrection. God raised Him in power, and He will raise all who believed in His Son.

On the Mount of Olives outside Jerusalem is a church called Dominus Flevit, which means “the tears of God.” Near this spot, Jesus wept over a city which was soon to be destroyed. God would use the Romans to level the temple in judgment since the nation of Israel did not acknowledge the day of their visitation by the Son of God. In 70 AD, not one stone of the temple was left upon another.

On Palm Sunday we commemorate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem just days before His trial and crucifixion. Even today, pilgrims to the Holy Land walk the road Jesus walked, imagining the momentous events which led to the sacrifice that makes salvation possible. Jesus entered Jerusalem as a king unlike any who had ever preceded Him.

The Beatitudes are the heart of the Sermon on the Mount. These eight statements sum up the kind of character God wants us to have. Eight times Jesus pronounces a blessing on those who are poor in spirit, who mourn, who are gentle, who hunger for righteousness, who are merciful, who are pure in heart, who are peacemakers, and who endure persecution.

No one has ever spoken words of greater simplicity or power than the words Jesus spoke in the famous Sermon on the Mount. Set against the backdrop of the Sea of Galilee, this sermon contains more truth about the human heart than any other sermon. As a master teacher, Jesus took aim at the inner man and left a mark that still reverberates two thousand years later.

Jesus had no fear of the authorities. Throwing money changers out of the temple proves that. And many of the things He said often angered the religious leaders in Jerusalem. In today’s message, we’ll take a vivid look at the Son of God confronting those who should have seen Him as Israel’s great hope.
