It is time to open the door and let in the light of God’s forgiveness. Stay with us to find out how to cast off the weights of your past, and be free.

The Vanishing Power Of Death
Death no longer has dominion over the one who follows Christ. When the tomb was found empty, death lost its power. In “The Vanishing Power of Death,” Pastor Lutzer considers the evidence for the resurrection of Christ and its impact on the disciples. From Mary weeping at the tomb, to Thomas' doubting, to Christ's counseling session with two discouraged disciples on the road to Emmaus, Pastor Lutzer shows readers that the experiences of the disciples are poignant and relevant for believers today. This is a book that is sure to invigorate your faith and make a lasting difference in the hands of a friend.

The Bible correlates life to a racetrack. Heaven is the audience. Believers wait at the starting line, commanded to run well, but you cannot run well weighed down by the sins of your past. Everyone has a dark corner in the closet, secrets no one can know. Too many are burdened with guilt, living lives of quiet desperation. Today’s message will help you put your past behind you, and, once again, run free.

“I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. I have the keys of Death and of Hades….” The glorified Jesus spoke these words in revealing to the Apostle John what was yet to come, as we read in the book of Revelation. Man’s greatest need is not economic security. It’s a future after death. Only Jesus can provide that future. Today: a celebration of the risen Christ.

Is God’s will elusive? Does He try to make it hard to find? As the new year dawns, what lies ahead in the plan of God? The best advice: take one step at a time. As we’re learning, God’s will is a series of small events that ultimately take us where He wants us to go. Today: you’ll hear light from the scriptures to make your path and mine into the coming new year more clear.

It’s blank parchment...a new year dawns with no written history. What happens in this new year is known only to God. That’s why it makes a lot of sense to allow God to order our steps in the weeks and months ahead. In these uncertain times, it makes more sense than ever to let God call the shots in your life and mine. On today’s broadcast, Erwin Lutzer will help us do just that.

Some of us make New Year’s resolutions, which are quickly broken.  Today, you will hear a challenge for one resolution you should keep. In Gethsemane, Jesus roused his sleeping disciples, asking “Could you not pray with me one hour?” Erwin Lutzer is placing that question before us today. As a new year dawns, let’s covenant to set aside one hour a week for Jesus.

The garden of Gethsemane is a place, even today, for tears. It is here that Jesus asked His disciples to pray with him. However, instead of praying they fell asleep, prompting the Savior to ask, “Could you not watch with me one hour?" Today Erwin Lutzer asks that question anew.

The people of Jesus’ day were under the rule of the Roman Empire, eager for anyone to deliver them from Caesar’s yoke. That’s why some saw in Jesus the deliverer that had been foretold. They wanted a leader to overthrow their oppressors. But Jesus had a larger deliverance to make: a deliverance from the power of sin. Today: we’ll see Jesus from God’s vantage point. Stay with us.

In a Nazareth synagogue, Jesus opened a scroll of Isaiah the prophet and began to read. A hush fell over the audience. He read of good news for the poor, freedom for prisoners, sight for the blind, and liberty for the oppressed, ending by saying, “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your ears.” Only the Son of God could say that. Turn to Luke 4, and stay with us.

In general, kings do not perform the role of servants. They have a retinue of people whose sole job it is to serve the king’s needs. Jesus will return one day as King of Kings. But in His first coming He was a servant to the will of God, giving His life to save His people from their sins. Today: we begin a look into three chapters of Isaiah, chapters that reveal what kind of servant Jesus was. Stay with us.
