The Eclipse Of God
Just as the moon obscures the sun’s light during an eclipse, today’s radical secularism has obscured the light of God. But God’s light still shines—and He is calling us to shine His light in our growing darkness. Is God more tolerant than He used to be? Pastor Lutzer shows how God is both a God of wrath as well as grace; that He is both merciful and just, and both a redeemer and a judge. Deepen your love for our unchangeable God of the Bible and be empowered to proclaim the light of truth in a culture of darkness.

Felix was a Roman governor whose home base was Caesarea, a city on the Mediterranean Sea. Paul the Apostle was in prison there, and was brought before Felix and his wife Drusilla. In this message, we’ll learn about the story behind this remarkable divine appointment.

Caesarea lies along the northern Mediterranean shore of Israel. This was the site where, in his conflict with Jewish authorities, the Apostle Paul appealed to Caesar. This meant facing the Roman governor Felix in ancient Caesarea.

Taking the Gospel to a resistant culture isn’t easy. Without passion for the Gospel and the Lord, tangible results are hard to come by. The Apostle Paul’s passion was clear, he was willing to die so that his hearers might live.

Jewish traditions were a big deal in Jerusalem. Some new believers insisted that converts to the Christian faith should keep observing Jewish laws. The conflict was sharp, and Paul had to settle an argument that put the outreach of the Gospel at risk.

After completing two missionary journeys, the Apostle Paul went back to Jerusalem. His determination to settle a church split there drove him into hardship, deprivation, and eventually, execution in Rome.

Jesus gave a report card to the seven churches found in the book of Revelation. Now all seven churches are lost to history. But the message left in Revelation gives us a clear understanding on what’s important to the Lord regarding His Church.

Wherever the Gospel has gone, light has burst forth into the culture. But sometimes that light is extinguished. The seven churches mentioned in Revelation were in what is now Turkey—but they’re now long gone. What happened?

The locals in Ephesus had a good thing going—a famous pagan temple, and silversmiths who sold shrines to the goddess Artemis. When the Apostle Paul came with the Gospel, business dropped off, and he soon found himself in a riot.
March 9, 2015
Ephesus is a city in ruins in modern-day Turkey. Paul took the Gospel there, and found himself in hot water when his message threatened the supremacy of a local pagan deity named Artemis.

When oppression comes, local churches can be vanquished. Many of the churches that we read about in the New Testament were wiped out by the enemies of the Gospel. By looking at the ancient city of Corinth, we may find out how this happened.
