The Church Is Watchful #2 of 2
November 13, 2009
Some of us are early risers. We hit the ground running, do our day's work, spend time with the family, and then hit the sack at bedtime...
Others are night people...preferring to sleep in and then work and play in the dark. The Bible talks about day people and night people as well, although in a different way. Today, find out if you're a day person, or a night person...the distinction is crucial.

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.

When it seems the news can't get any worse, it does. Many wish for the Lord's return, to put an end to the bad news...
The Christian knows that this world is not his home, he's just passing through. In First Thessalonians we learn of the glorious return of Jesus to set right all that is wrong, and, to take His followers to be with Him. As we wait, the church is called to be watchful.

When God gave Moses the Ten Commandments on tablets of stone, He most assuredly was not handing down the ten suggestions...
There are laws at work in the spiritual universe: laws that can neither be debated, nor circumvented. We may claim freedom from the law as believers, thinking we can do as we please. But God has a word for those of us who feel this way, a word brought to us by the Apostle Paul.

"Be still and know that I am God..." That's getting tough with many of us glued to the internet or our wide screen TV's...
In one sense, we have way too many options to fill our time. A thousand voices scream at us via radio, cable TV, DVDs, and the World Wide Web. Developing godly character requires developing our inner lives. Today: words of challenge on holiness.

Taking a stand for what's right means going against the prevailing tide. To do this, we need strength from God...
To a large extent, that strength comes from developing a life of prayer. The Apostle Paul modeled this for us in his writings to the church at Thessalonica in ancient Greece. Today: how prayer gives us the courage to hold our ground for the truth of the gospel.

There are times when believers can no longer be passive. When the tide of evil rises, we can and must take a stand...
It's not always popular to be seen taking a stand. But when God comes in unusual power to a church, we often see courage and resolve that was not there before. Today, how the ancient church in Thessalonica took their stand, and how we can imitate them today as darkness settles over our land.

Everybody likes a servant. We all enjoy being waited on. But not many of us like being the ones doing the waiting...
Servants have to serve even when those they serve don't appreciate it. They know that God watches their service, and is pleased. A church that serves is a church where God's presence is felt very strongly. That's a lesson we're taking home from our current study on revival.

"Taking care of number one" is how most people set their priorities. It's unusual when people give others first place...
That's what happens in a church experiencing the direct moving of God in their midst. A desire to serve others rises to the top, as it did in ancient Thessalonica. Paul commended this church for their service, and today, we'll learn the lessons they learned so long ago.

When all around us is turning to dust, we can still experience the joy of knowing that God remains on His throne...
The church in Thessalonica underwent persecution, but nonetheless exhibited the joy of the Lord despite their trials. That's what happens when God's presence is very real, as it is during times of revival. Today: a further look at a church when God "shows up."

From time to time, God manifests Himself in a special way. New life comes to a church when revival begins...
History records several great awakenings in Europe and America, and there's no doubt we could use another one now. What are the indications that God is making His presence known in an unusual way? Today, we begin a series from one of Paul's epistles that tells us what they are.

Adam and Eve had it good, real good, back in the Garden of Eden. But they tossed paradise aside when they disobeyed God. Many marriages begin happily, but then descend into conflict as husband and wife display the latent rebellion that's marked every human since that first couple. Today: how to apply God's solution to man's deepest problem, and heal broken relationships. Stay with us.
