In a dark world, believers in Jesus have the light of God within them. Our challenge and obligation is to shine that light into the darkness around us. In this message from Ephesians, Pastor Lutzer unpacks the implications of walking in the light. Let’s seize any opportunity to reflect Christ to everyone we meet.

The world is steeped in darkness, groping for wealth, power, and fame. But Christ can pierce the darkness and give us hope. In this message from John 7, Pastor Lutzer goes on a journey to explore how Jesus leads us. Let’s rejoice in the “Light of the world” who guides us to our destination.

When light comes, the darkness scatters. Jesus confronted Nicodemus, during a visit at night, with truths that unveil and expose the human condition—our love of darkness. In this message from John 3, Pastor Lutzer offers three results of loving the light. We may think darkness covers our sins, but in the light of God, nothing can be hidden.

Christmas is a celebration of God’s intervention in human history. Jesus created the universe, yet the world rejected Him. In this message from John 1, Pastor Lutzer reveals Jesus as the creator of all, revealer of light, and divider of humanity. He is the Light which shines in the darkness, yet He is not overcome by darkness.

How can we know, and delight in, God’s will? Whatever our circumstances or degree of optimism, we can follow God’s commands by the power of the Holy Spirit. In this message from 1 Thessalonians, Pastor Lutzer shows the three commands. We'll not only know the will of God, but also please Him.

We can’t see the life to come as clearly as we see what’s around us. But Revelation 4 provides a majestic view of what awaits the child of God. In this message, Pastor Lutzer considers the centrality of God above all. Like the elders and angels, whose praise never ceases, we will worship God in His glory.

We are the object of attention in the Lord’s courtroom—Satan on one side, Jesus on the other. Satan accuses believers before God. In this message from Zechariah 3, Pastor Lutzer paints the courtroom scene where we can stand dressed in Christ’s “righteousness alone.” Christians can take heart because Jesus has already won the victory.

Normally we don't see angels, but there are some God ordained exceptions to this. Elisha boldly prayed for his servant’s eyes to be open to angels’ ministry to God’s people. In this message, Pastor Lutzer unveils four truths about angels. Though God has a myriad of angels ready to do His bidding, He doesn’t have to use them to accomplish His will.

Christians live in two worlds: the visible one of everyday life, and the invisible world of God’s kingdom. We shouldn’t isolate ourselves, but we are called to exemplify the truth of God’s love. In this message from Philippians 3, Pastor Lutzer observes four contrasts between the city of God and the city of man. How do we live as citizens of two worlds?

Satan’s power to pull people into occultism is not to be underestimated. The devil enslaves his victims in a world of false religion: a world of evil and of bondage. In this message from Acts 19, Pastor Lutzer contrasts the power of Satan and his demons against the power of Christ. How does darkness manifest itself?
