Running To Win 15 Minute Version

Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer

Christ The Servant, Part 3 of 3 (Christ Before Bethlehem)

December 11, 2020

Sometimes it seems the rich get richer on the backs of the poor. That’s a far cry from the teachings of Jesus. He taught us by example how to serve one another. In this message we look more at Christ the Servant as foreseen in the writings of Isaiah.

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.

In ancient times, kings had almost absolute power. A person’s life or death was in the king’s hand. In our day, presidents and congresses come and go. In this message we look forward to a time of a real king, and a real rule: Jesus on this earth.

Kings have a total claim on people’s lives, time, and taxes. We’re not used to that type of authority in America. Many see kings as relics of a bygone era. But in this message, we’ll see why Christ is the long-foretold King of Kings, and what that title means.

Christmas morning is fast approaching. But have we given thought to the One who was born that day? In this message, we pause and consider the position God the Father has given Jesus His Son, the one for whom the holiday is named.

Like a diamond, the purity of Jesus radiates in many facets as we behold His glory. Isaiah gave us names describing these characteristics in the ninth chapter of his prophecy. In this message we look at the names ascribed to Christ, and what they mean.

At the mall we’re assailed by lights, trees, tinsel, ornaments, and all sorts of holiday cheer. What you won’t find there is much reference to the Christ, whose coming is the reason for the season. In this message we find that Christmas is all about Christ.

Before you purchase gifts for Christmas, remember this: the holiday has roots in a far different culture at a very different time and place. Listen today as we go back in time to discover another view of Christmas.
