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.

For some reason, we tend to think that God is somewhere “up there” looking down to see how His children are doing. But the New Testament paints a different picture in which God sees believers as part of Christ’s body — the church — in a union with Him as intimate as the connection between the parts of a human body. As Christians running the race of life, we don’t run alone. We share the actual life of God Himself.

The employees of a well-run company know their abilities as well as the roles they play in making that company profitable. They know that “doing your own thing” is the last way to succeed in any group endeavor.

When you take apart an old alarm clock you’ll see an amazing array of gears working together to make sure you wake up on time. If any gear gets out of place, the whole thing grinds to a halt. It’s similar in the local church. If people aren’t serving where God wants them to serve, the whole ministry is shortchanged. Today’s message will help us learn what spiritual gifts are and why it’s vital that we find which gifts we have.
