The Decrees Of God, Part 1 of 3 (The Mysteries Of God)

May 6, 2019

Long before any of us were born, the life-giving God set His creation in motion. These creative actions were grounded in His eternal decisions. Theologians call these decisions “decrees,” non-negotiable orders God laid down—which govern creation, redemption, and history.

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.

Psalm 90 is an explosion of praise to the God Who always was and always will be. Moses wrote, “From everlasting to everlasting you are God.” The eternal Lord created everything: time, matter, and space. And He fills and surpasses the created universe.

The Bible tells us about God and His purposes. But not everything is crystal clear. There are mysteries we will not understand in this life. Even though God is mysterious, we seek to know Him according to His self-revelation in the Scriptures.

In Israel, you can stand on the very mount from which Jesus Christ ascended to His Father in heaven. Prophecies foretell his return to that very Mount of Olives to set up his kingdom. In this message we learn how Jesus is ruling in heaven even now.

For 40 days the resurrected Jesus walked the roads of Israel. But then the time came for His ascension into heaven. Angels attended as Jesus rose into the air until the clouds took him out of sight. In this message we learn more about what it means for Jesus to be in heaven.

The Mount of Olives sight was unforgettable: Jesus rose into the sky and out of sight. His ascension marked the beginning of a new ministry: interceding for His people at God’s right hand. In this message we’ll learn about the significance of this present ministry.
