God's Providence Among the Nations, Part 2 of 3
April 18, 2012
Some realities do not fit in finite minds. Men do what they choose. Yet God directs those choices to suit His purposes. As we wrestle with the mystery of God’s hidden will, we must acknowledge His sovereign control of history. Sometimes He uses the bad guys to judge the good guys. Our task is to trust His purposes are right, no matter what.

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.

Some people think that random chance dictates what happens on planet earth. Either God is not involved or He is not interested. Believers running the race of life have a different perspective.

Years ago, Alex Haley’s Roots helped us understand the origins of the slave trade. Origins are very important. That is why God recorded the beginnings of human history in the book of Genesis. Here we find out where we came from as members of the nations of the world. Today we will do a wrap-up on how everyone can trace their roots back to the sons of Noah.

There are literally thousands of languages spoken here on planet earth. Have you ever stopped to ask yourself where they all came from? At the very beginning, God saw to it that people would be divided into many geographical and ethnic groups. To achieve this, He caused the language of His people to divide.

With hundreds of nations and billions of people, the earth of 2012 is a seething cauldron of unrest, warfare, and change.

Although the church celebrates the resurrection of Jesus every year, in one sense it celebrates that great event every week. On the first day of the week His disciples found their crucified Lord very much alive. Every Sunday since, God’s people have gathered to mark the raising of Jesus from the dead. He is indeed the Victor over the grave. Since we are His followers, we too shall have victory.

The resurrection of the dead at the end times is a huge concept. Imagine billions of graves springing open. This concept, though hard to imagine, is at the core of the gospel. Just as God raised Jesus, so believers too shall be raised with glorious new bodies fit for eternity. It is the real you that will once again live and move.

Many people have said things about Jesus, adding their biases to the biblical account of His life. But the most attested fact of ancient history is the bodily resurrection of Jesus from a cold tomb. It is that resurrection which gives us the promise of our own resurrection one day. God raised Him in power and He will raise all who believed in His Son while alive on this earth.

Who killed Jesus? The question is more complex than it first appears.The Romans carried out the crucifixion. But why? Jewish religious leaders wanted Jesus out of the way, but they had to entice the occupying Romans to do the deed. Because Jesus died for the sins of all mankind, in one sense all of us killed the Son of God. Today we look into a centuries-old question.

We have all said “no” when we should have said “yes.” We all have missed opportunities. Once gone, those decisive moments cannot be regained. The people of Israel had a chance to embrace Jesus as their promised Messiah. Instead, they clamored for His execution. Jesus wept over Jerusalem because He knew that its destruction was certain. Today we will look at an important opportunity which Judas missed.

On the Mount of Olives outside Jerusalem is a church called Dominus Flevit, which means “the tears of God.” Near this spot, Jesus wept over a city which was soon to be destroyed. God would use the Romans to level the temple in judgment since the nation of Israel did not acknowledge the day of their visitation by the Son of God. In 70 AD, not one stone of the temple was left upon another.
