Ever feel like a square peg in a round hole? Try as you might, you don’t seem to fit in with others. Happily, there’s a solution. God has a place of service for every Christian, and a spiritual gift every Christian can use to benefit others in that place of service. If we fail to use our gifts, the body of Christ suffers. Today, we’ll learn how to identify our gifts, and, how to put them to work.

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.

All great dramas build to a conclusion. The drama of redemption begins in Eden and ends with new heavens and a new earth. All the plot elements are wrapped up in a glorious resolution: the enemies of Christ are vanquished, the rebellious are judged, and the redeemed find themselves on streets of gold in the New Jerusalem. Today: the finale to the grand plan that God set in motion before the world began.

There is one book in the Bible that guarantees a blessing to all who read it. It’s the very last book: the Book of Revelation. Written in apocalyptic language rich in symbolism, Revelation portrays the future yet to be, including the glorious return of Jesus, the resurrection of the dead, the judgments, the Millenial reign, and then, the eternity which follows.

If the drama of redemption were a play, it would have two acts, set in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. The central theme - the drawing together of God and man through a sacrifice atoning for the sins that separated the two. In the Old Testament, that was done using animals at the Temple in Jerusalem. The New Testament reveals the real sacrifice that takes away sin.

In the drama of redemption, the Old Testament is a grand prologue. In the New Testament, the great transaction takes place. A sacrifice for the sins of all mankind is offered on a cross outside the city of Jerusalem. Jesus gives his life not far from where Abraham almost offered his son Isaac. No playwright could dream of a story so bold, so loving, and so wonderful.

Behind all the history we read in the Bible lies the purpose of God: to provide redemption for those that believe. The nation Israel had one reason for being: to bring forth a Messiah who would first die as a sacrifice for sin, and later be raised to return one day as king over all the earth. Today: more Old Testament history about the line from which Jesus would come.

It is the kind of stuff that fascinates us when we watch The History Channel. It is the story of the nation of Israel. The Old Testament is many things: prophecy, history, law, and wisdom literature such as Psalms and Proverbs. Today we are continuing our jet-plane flyover of the Old Testament, and we will focus on the time period when Israel, it’s temple destroyed, was taken into capitivity.

When people pick up the Bible for the first time, it can be a daunting experience. The big question is: where do I begin?” If you want a big-picture view of the whole Bible, you have come to the right place. We are exploring The Drama of Redemption, giving a quick overview of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. Today: more of the Old Testament will fly past us, so listen closely.

Imagine the earth as a grand stage. A great drama is continually being played out. But this play is for real. The sins of mankind separated us from our Creator. But God was not content to let his finest creation die with no hope. He set in motion a plan to redeem those that believe in the value of a great sacrifice: that of Jesus on the cross.

As individuals, we cannot change the whole world. But we can change ourselves, and our kids, and thereby make a difference. The family is on life support these days, and it is up to us as Christians to show by example the value and power of a godly family. Keeping our kids from moral harm is high on the agenda, and today we will hear some more commandments for parents.

Like paper boats on a raging sea, many Christians feel swept along by the rising tide of filth in a decaying culture. As sexual predators seek to devour your kids, you need resources to defend those kids and their futures. Today we hear more of Erwin Lutzer’s commandments for parents in an age of immorality.
