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.

The Bible’s central theme: bringing God and humanity together through an atoning sacrifice on the cross, reconciling the two parties. In the Old Testament, this was prefigured using animals at the Temple. The New Testament unveils 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. Jesus gives His life not far from where Abraham almost offered his son Isaac. No playwright could dream of a story so bold!

After seventy years of captivity, Israel’s people were allowed to return home. And that’s where we pick up the story in God’s unfolding saga of redemption. God made salvation possible through a people, a Messiah, and a great sacrifice.

The Old Testament includes many genres: prophecy, history, law, and even wisdom literature such as Psalms and Proverbs. Continuing our high-speed look at the Old Testament, let’s focus on the time when Israel was taken into captivity.

Ancient Israel split in two when King Rehoboam unwisely raised taxes. Ten tribes revolted. Jeroboam became their king, ruling in the north. In the south, two tribes became the kingdom of Judah.

We’re exploring the Drama of Redemption, skimming through the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. Let’s begin with the Old Testament, and see how God initiates this dramatic story.

Redemption did not begin when Jesus appeared on earth. In the mind of God, it began before the foundations of the world were laid. Genesis 3:15 depicts a promised Redeemer who would one day crush Satan’s head.
February 4, 2016
The sins of mankind separated us from our Creator. But God was not content to let His creation die without hope. He put in motion a plan to redeem those who believe in His sacrifice: Jesus on the cross.
