The Church We Love, Part 1 of 2
December 6, 2011
The Greek word is ekklesia, the “called-out ones.” In English, the word is “church,” and if you believe in Jesus, you’re “called-out.” You’re called out to live separate from the values of our culture. That’s tough to do, but when we forge links of fellowship and support in a local assembly, it becomes a lot easier. That’s why God says, “Don’t forsake assembling together.” The church: local and universal: is today’s focus.

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.

If you examine the evidence, it’s clear the devil is having a field day. Evil is running rampant worldwide...for now. A day is coming when a long-delayed sentence of doom is to be carried out.

If the devil tempted us in a red suit with horns and a pitchfork, we’d laugh. But the real devil is clothed as an angel of light. Even Christians can be deceived and find themselves succumbing to temptation from the enemy of our souls. Satan wants you to think he doesn’t even exist. But the Bible tells us that he walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Today Erwin Lutzer will expose the devil for what he is.

Angels often appeared in Bible times with words from God to His people. Also, angels brought God’s judgment. In doing God’s bidding, angels have been charged with watching over believers. In this life we’ll never know how often they’ve protected us from harm. Someday we will know, and then we can express our appreciation. Today: more about God’s angelic host, and how they care for us.

Sci-Fi shows talk about a parallel universe we cannot see. For the Christian, there really is a parallel universe, only it is not parallel. The world of the spirit exists right inside the real universe we can see. Millions of unseen angels exist, serving those who are the heirs of salvation.

The gospel of Christ simply means the good news about Jesus. His death on the cross makes our forgiveness possible.

Today, a further look at how we can make the good news of the Gospel known to those whose eternity depends on hearing it.

Turn on CNN, and what do you get? Politics, the economy, the war, for the most part, a lot of bad news. Now turn back the clock two thousand years. Even under Roman oppression, the early church reveled in some really good news. That news was the gospel: the message that Jesus came to seek and save sinners, and give them eternal life.

An inherent sickness has stricken the human race. This sickness is exhibited in our sin, and full prisons testify to the reality of it. Those prisons are full of people born in sin, born with a propensity to do wrong. As Paul says, we are all, “by nature the children of wrath.” In our study of key doctrines, we are coming to grips with “The Sin We Rationalize.”

When you read the Bible, you will discover many overarching themes. One of those truths is that God is not tolerant of sin. What is sin? It means missing the mark God has set for our behavior. Sadly, many people trivialize sin, even believers. But sin is so serious that God sent his only Son to die as a sacrifice to pay the penalty ultimate justice demands.

Why do people tell fibs? This is not the time or place to answer that, but the acronym “FIBS” is helpful for today’s program. We are studying the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of a Christian, and “FIBS” provides a way to remember His four key ministries. Today, Erwin Lutzer will tell us what they are, and the difference they should make in your life.

Some philosophers acknowledge that there must be a God who created all that we see. They argue, however, that He is distant, and uninvolved. But the Bible reveals that God works by the Holy Spirit in the lives of those who believe, providing day-by-day guidance, comfort, wisdom, and insight for even the smallest details of life. What, or who, is the Holy Spirit?
