October 22, 2013
During the teen years, kids believe they know much more than mom and dad. They long to break free from the prison they call home. Many parents have a heavy heart, knowing that their son or daughter is far away from them and far from God. Today, a famous Bible story will give hope to all parents of prodigal children. Yesterday, we read a sad account of Absalom. Today, we will hear a story with a happier ending.

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.

“He who fathers a wise son will be glad in him.” Proverbs 23 has words David wished could have been true for him. As part of a classic dysfunctional family, Absalom rebelled against his father David. He went his own way, and ended up dead. The story is in the Bible for us to read and to heed its warnings.

Many parents have longed for a wayward son or daughter to come home. Some do, while others stay in “the far country”. Why is it that some kids want to break out and experience all that the world has to offer? Invariably they end up in ruins and wish they had never left. Today, we take a look at one prodigal son, Absalom, who left and never returned.

To an outsider, hearing people speaking in unknown languages no doubt raises more questions than it does answers. And so, the Apostle Paul argued for clear teaching in known dialects. His explanation of the gift of tongues tells us why they were given, referring to a prophecy in Isaiah chapter 28, a prophecy at the heart of today’s broadcast.

For a long time, there has been controversy in the church about some of the spiritual gifts. Today, we hope to bring clarity. Some feel that the gift of tongues is crucial evidence for the presence of the Holy Spirit. Others say that modern tongues do not form words in any known language. Today, Erwin Lutzer begins a careful study in First Corinthians 14.

Human love can fade when people grow tired of each other. Divorce statistics prove that human love is fleeting at best. Our motivation for service in the body of Christ and for serving our marriage partners must be found in what the Bible calls “agape” love, the love that comes from God. Only then can we endure life’s tough times, and remain faithful to our brothers and sisters in Christ.

We often hear First Corinthians 13 at weddings, because it is the well-known love chapter. Today we will take a deeper look at love. For the Apostle Paul, love is the glue that binds together the body of Christ and makes it a place of mutual service. Without love, our best efforts are without true purpose. Today, turn with us to this famous chapter as we learn why love is the highest motivator of all.

The body of Christ is both wonderful and mystical, with a connection that meets our needs as we meet the needs of others. The local church you attend is but one small part of an enormous worldwide assembly that will meet in eternity. Until then, we live and serve others, knowing that our present experience only foreshadows what lies ahead.

These days some believers have deserted the local church, and are going it alone or in small groups. This is not healthy. The body of Christ involves accountability to “those who have the rule over you.” Only when we are part of a local fellowship can accountability take place. Today we will turn to First Corinthians chapter 12 and learn what the local church is all aboutand how to find out where we fit.

An old proverb says “Many hands make light work.” There is no doubt that sharing a task lightens everyone’s burden. In the body of Christ, everyone has a gift with which to serve others. Knowing what that gift is and putting it to work, are the keys to satisfaction and joy. As each does his or her part, the result is a marvelous harmony.

For some, church is a weekly duty. People go through the motions, really wishing the services would just get over sooner.

Today, we want to ignite in you a passion for your local church.
