Passions In Conflict Part 3

September 23, 2022

Knowingly sinning will inevitably lead to destruction. King David’s lust led to serious consequences: a devious lie, a man’s murder, and a child’s death. In this message, we take to heart the first of four lessons about our passions. Who loses when we fall into sexual immorality and sin?

The Vanishing Power Of Death
Death no longer has dominion over the one who follows Christ. When the tomb was found empty, death lost its power. In “The Vanishing Power of Death,” Pastor Lutzer considers the evidence for the resurrection of Christ and its impact on the disciples. From Mary weeping at the tomb, to Thomas' doubting, to Christ's counseling session with two discouraged disciples on the road to Emmaus, Pastor Lutzer shows readers that the experiences of the disciples are poignant and relevant for believers today. This is a book that is sure to invigorate your faith and make a lasting difference in the hands of a friend.

Life is full of choices that determine our destinies. King David’s one-night stand was not hidden from God. In this message, we listen to the prophet Nathan’s story for the king, revealing how God sees sin. We are all laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give an account.

We’ve all been created with strong desires for sexual intimacy. But when left uncontrolled, our passions can destroy us. In this message, we catalog the steps that led to David’s greatest sin. From David and Bathsheba, we learn the danger of cover-ups as well as the high price of immorality.

When God chooses to not answer our prayers, we may think He’s forgotten us. When David appealed to God to build a temple, God’s answer gave him so much more. In this message, we find three responses from God in place of David’s original request: new promises, new intimacy, and a new project. God has something better in mind for us.

We are often too satisfied by puny pleasures. Though God didn’t fulfill David’s initial longing, He has revealed how the promises were fulfilled. In this message, we contemplate the mystery of God’s promises. From our limited viewpoint, we have no idea where today’s prayers might take us. God does.

Does God care when He doesn’t do what we ask? When David wanted to build a temple, God’s answer wasn’t the expected one. In this message from 2 Samuel 7, we ponder a promise from God like none other. Could God have something bigger in mind for us than what we originally requested?

When God allows circumstances that frustrate us, do we complain or run away? When the Lord killed a man helping get the ark to Jerusalem, King David found that God is not a manageable deity. In this message, we discover three lessons to manage our anger, rather than the Almighty. God can handle whatever we might be feeling.

It seemed like God was overreacting. When God struck a man dead for reaching out to stabilize the ark of the covenant, David became angry. In this message, we learn the truth about who we are when God does the unexpected. What does God’s holiness reveal about us and the way we view sin?

Is it ever okay to be angry with God? We are usually angry at Him because we know that behind our difficult circumstances, there is God. In this message from 2 Samuel 6, we consider the truth about who God is when we’re angry at Him. Bitterness only separates us from the help we need.

God often uses stressful situations to get our attention and set us back on track. In Israel, David’s hometown was destroyed by fire and his family captured. In this message from Psalm 18, we consider two lessons from David’s return to God. Anyone who’s strayed from the path can turn back to God.
September 12, 2022
When God doesn’t seem to act on our behalf, many of us turn to other dependencies, like addictions or relationships. For David, he strayed from God, becoming a man of blood. In this message, we explore the consequences of David’s choices. What happens when everything else on which we depend is lost?
