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.

Satan whispers lies to make us ineffective. Many of us are beset with thoughts such as, “I’m useless. I can’t live for God. It’s too hard.” In this message, we hear three critical reasons why we need the shield of faith. We shouldn’t believe we can manage on our own, even if we seem to be doing well in the Christian life.

Many of us experiencing suicidal thoughts, cutting, or eating disorders are facing spiritual attack. We don’t believe God loves us, cares about us, or can change us. In this message, we learn to deflect these missiles of doubt with the shield of faith. Satan is attempting to make sin attractive while exploiting our deepest shame and guilt.

Many people hear inner voices striking at their self-worth, causing them to self-harm or experience suicidal thoughts. We can protect ourselves against Satan’s fiery darts. In this message from Ephesians 6, we answer the first of three critical questions about the shield of faith: “What is it?” We may know Jesus has power, but do we believe that He cares for us?

Jesus knew His disciples would face extreme trials and martyrdom. Christians are called to wear the peace He leaves us wherever we go, like shoes. In this message, we learn how to commit to God, and accept God’s plan even when it’s difficult. Are there sins we’ve not dealt with, or issues we haven’t given to God?

Anxiety and a lack of peace can be a barometer of areas of our lives we’ve refused to commit to God. Only by having the peace of God can a believer withstand the attacks of Satan. In this message, we learn how to receive God’s peace. Sometimes, committing everything to God means peace will be mingled with tears.

The peace of God is unlike any kind of peace we can get from the world. God’s peace is there even when it seems all hope is lost. In this message from Ephesians 2, we discover three kinds of peace: with God, each other, and ourselves. Peace is much more than just a sense of well-being.

Everybody wants peace. The problem is that we have certain thieves that rob us of our peace. In this message from Ephesians 6, we identify the devil’s backstory and strategy to take our peace. With all the spiritual conflict we face, why doesn’t God just eliminate our enemy, the devil?

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? 
May 17, 2023
For believers in Christ, God sees our sins through the perfection of His Son, legally declaring us as righteous as He is. This stops the devil in his tracks. In this message, we consider two ways we can still allow the enemy a victory even after the righteousness of God has been credited to us. How do we fight from a place of victory?
May 16, 2023
Satan accuses Christians by saying, “You sinned again. You have no right to stand before a holy God.” But God has provided the way to stop his condemning lies. In this message from Romans 3, we distinguish between two types of righteousness. Is there a righteousness that overcomes our enemies within and without?
