The King Marries His Bride, Part 1 of 2
June 5, 2012
In Greek, the word we translate “church” means “the called-out ones” — a special group with a special destiny. In Revelation 19:9, a voice from the throne of God says “Write: 'Blessed are those who are called to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb!' And he said to me, ‘These are the true sayings of God.’” This special group of the “called-out ones” have an engraved invitation to the greatest wedding feast of all time.

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.

Many believers go about their daily routines unaware that their every deed, good or bad, will be reviewed — every argument, every unkind word, every impure motive. We will stand before Jesus to answer for how we lived our lives. This is the place where rewards are bestowed, and also, where the chaff of our lives is burned into powder. Today we will discuss more on the judgment of believers.

The Bema seat was an elevated platform in ancient Corinth where the judges sat. Bema is the word that Paul uses when referring to the Judgment Seat of Christ. In Corinth, the Bema was outside and public — and so may be a Christian’s account at the Judgment Seat of Christ.

The bodies of millions who believed in Jesus are in graveyards all over the earth. One day, those graves will open. The dead in Christ will rise when Jesus returns. They will join Him in the air just before those who are alive at the time of His coming. In today’s message we’ll learn more about a very special future day when our bodies will be made immortal.

The Doomsday Clock measures how close we are to irrevocable, international harm. It’s creeping closer to midnight, but, what most people don’t realize is that another clock is ticking. When time is up, Jesus will return to the earth in a cloud over the Mount of Olives. Man’s history will be wrapped up when the King of Kings returns and takes charge.

The parables of Jesus cut to the deepest level of human motivation. In the story of the rich fool, greed was one issue, and covetousness was another. No one is free from the grip of wanting more. If this sin blocks our view of what’s really important, our very eternity is at stake. Today we’ll learn from a parable as meaningful today as it was when Jesus told it two millennia ago.

There will be no U-Haul following your hearse to the cemetery. As the saying goes, “You can’t take it with you.” Jesus told a story about a man who had plenty, but wanted much more — “eat drink and be merry” he said. The parable Jesus told is chilling — that night the man’s life was demanded of him. If there’s one thing you want to get right, it’s where you will spend eternity.

In a shaky market, people wonder where they can place their money so they can get a decent return. On some days, the options are few. Jesus taught a lesson on ultimate investments in a parable recorded in the book of Luke. Jesus counsels believers to invest in God’s kingdom because the true interest rate will be on display only in eternity.

A wealthy man had a manager who he decided to fire. Before he left, the manager cut some deals with his master’s creditors. Those shady deals were meant to curry favor, so that the unemployed manager would have options once his job ended. Jesus made this scenario the subject of a parable about investments, and today we will decipher why Christ commended a man who acted improperly.

Jesus told a story of a great banquet where the invited guests all had excuses not to attend, so the host changed his plans. He invited the poor and the crippled, people who would never expect such a treat and who could never repay him. This parable has parallels in how we approach telling people about the Gospel. Let’s explore the truth of this parable.

Some Christians view evangelism as a chore. They have no clue as to how much God’s heart is gladdened when they share the Gospel. Jesus told a parable about a man hosting a banquet, and when the invited guests never came, he found anyone he could to sit at his table. God seeks the lost just like this man sought people to feed. Let’s hear an inspiring lesson on reaching people who need to hear the Gospel.
