May 17, 2023

It’s one thing to believe that the righteousness of Jesus can be credited to our account before a holy God. It’s another to fight sin and Satan every day. In this message, we prepare ourselves for spiritual battle through the legal and the practical righteousness of Christ. How do we arm ourselves with the breastplate of righteousness?

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.
