Finding Community In Fellowship, Part 1 of 3 (Finding Community Within The Church)

November 6, 2020

Are we on this planet just to take up space, eat, and die? No, we’re here to make a difference in the lives of others. Some people want to live their spiritual lives within the four walls of their church. But others sense God’s call to display His love outside the four walls—to show the love which Jesus said would cause people to be convicted of their sin. Do you sense this call?

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.
