Come and See His Transfiguration #2 of 3

February 18, 2010
Small group meetings are very meaningful. But a long time ago there was one small group meeting that has no equal. Atop a high mountain, a glorified Jesus appeared along with Moses and Elijah in the presence of Peter, James and John. Now that's a memorable meeting. In this message we will discuss the significance of those who gathered on that momentous day.

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.

It was on a high place, perhaps Israel's Mount Tabor. Jesus gave three disciples a blinding vision of the future. Here, Moses and Elijah appeared with Christ, symbolizing Jesus as the fulfillment of both the law and the prophets. God's voice thundered from a cloud, and the experience was so powerful that, years later, Peter wrote of it as being "on the Holy Mountain."

Some believers feel they have ruined their Christian lives by making agreements with Satan. Is this really possible? Can Satan bind a child of God? Can a Christian sell his or her soul to the devil? Today we will talk about the limits God has set on Satan's domain, and why the victory of Christ is complete, as we'll learn from Matthew chapter 12.

Throughout the centuries, Christians have debated the meaning of the unpardonable sin Jesus spoke of in Matthew chapter 12. Many wonder if they have ever committed this sin, a sin for which no forgiveness is possible. Today we will study the meaning of the unpardonable sin in its larger context of Jesus talking with Pharisees who wanted to destroy Him.

When you've set out to attack someone verbally, and then find yourself out-reasoned, all you may have left is pure rage. That was the case when the Pharisees accused Jesus of casting out demons using Satan's power. Jesus replied, "A house divided against itself cannot stand." That left them speechless, and plotting to destroy Him. Today we learn of the turning tide of opinions against Jesus.

In Old Testament times, people connected sickness with personal sin. We now know this connection is not always accurate. But Jesus used that common perception in healing a paralyzed man, beginning by forgiving his sins, and thus infuriating the nearby Jewish scribes. Today we will look at a great miracle, and the testimony it bears about the Son of God.
February 11, 2010
There are times when you really need friends, especially at crisis points when we're powerless to solve our own problems. Four men wanted to help a sick man get well. Their determination to get their friend to Jesus was noted by the Savior Himself, even though they broke through a man's roof to get the job done. When we can't help ourselves, God provides others who can bear our burdens.

What exactly is a miracle? C.S. Lewis defined it as "an interference with nature by a supernatural power." The miracles of Jesus were clear, public, long-lasting, and not in dispute, even by His enemies. Those miracles testify to His being the Son of God, and were performed not to amaze, but rather, to teach. In today's message we will look at one of those dramatic miracles.

The Sea of Galilee was home base for the disciples Jesus first called. No doubt about it, they knew fishing very well. So when their new master told them where to toss their nets, it took unusual grace to do as they were asked. Their obedience was rewarded handsomely when those full nets almost broke. Today we look at a lesson for disciples then and now.
February 8, 2010
Many people work their entire lives, hoping that someday they'll have a higher calling than the drudgery of a daily job. When Jesus called Simon and Andrew away from their fishing nets, He said they would become fishers of men. For these two, that higher calling meant leaving their boats behind. Do we hear the higher calling of Christ? Are we willing to pay the price to follow it?
February 5, 2010
Would you leave a lifetime job and head into the financial unknown if a man walked up to you and said, "Come and follow Me?" To those who became His disciples, the call of Jesus was clear and unambiguous. And their response was to immediately leave their nets behind. Are we as quick to heed the call of Christ? If not, perhaps today's broadcast is tailor-made for each of us.
