In this message from Revelation 1, Pastor Lutzer plunges into a stunning description of the risen and glorified Jesus in glory. Jesus says, “I am alive forevermore. I have the keys of Death and of Hades.”

We need hope for what lies beyond the grave. Paul’s discourse in Athens pointed the way to that hope, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. In this message, Pastor Lutzer identifies three different reactions to the risen Christ: mocking, procrastinating, or believing. What is our response?

The central proof of our faith is Jesus’ resurrection. The city of Athens was filled with false gods, but Paul went to Mars Hill to preach judgment and resurrection. In this message from Acts 17, Pastor Lutzer shares Paul’s in-depth explanation of how God reveals Himself to us. We must listen because the resurrected Jesus will judge the entire world.

When we die as believers, we do so within God’s loving providence, His loving purpose, and His mighty power. The sting of death is absorbed by the sacrifice of Jesus. In this message from John 5, Pastor Lutzer articulates the choice set before each one of us—two ways to die. At which resurrection will we appear: the resurrection to life or death?

No fear is as daunting as the fear of death. When Jesus finally arrived at His friend Lazarus’ graveside, He spoke this promise: that those who believe in Him will rise again to eternal life. In this message from John 11, Pastor Lutzer shares five comforting contexts in which a believer dies. Our greatest fear died on the day Jesus rose.

The drama of redemption began in the garden of Eden and culminates in the new heavens and new earth. Revelation is the finale to God’s plan. In this message from Revelation 12-22, Pastor Lutzer marks three truths: the great divide, the length of eternity, and the triumph of Jesus. What if we were made to dwell with God forever?

The book of Revelation portrays our Christian hope. We long for the glorious return of Jesus, the resurrection of the dead, the judgments, the Millennial reign, and the eternity which follows. In this message, Pastor Lutzer helps us navigate the three sections of Revelation’s prophecy and rich symbolism. What will our ultimate destination be?

If the drama of the Scriptures were a play, it would have two acts, the Old and New Testaments. The central theme is that of a sacrifice. In this message, Pastor Lutzer ponders the basis of our redemption: God’s integrity, His redemption, and even His humiliation. Why don’t we need to sacrifice on an altar anymore?

No playwright could dream of a story so wonderful. After years of silence from God, Jesus, the Christ, bursts onto the scene in this drama of redemption. In this message, Pastor Lutzer surveys three ways in Matthew’s genealogy that Christ fulfills God’s promises. God’s grand and beautiful plan is finally revealed.

God set apart the nation of Israel to bring Him glory among the nations. But the Old Testament recounts how many lost sight of God’s grand purpose. In this message, Pastor Lutzer shares three reasons why our lives should be changed by Israel’s story. What can we learn from the history surrounding the Temple Mount?
March 6, 2024
The Old Testament is made of many genres: prophecy, history, law, and wisdom literature. We should study with those types of categories in mind. In this flyover of the Old Testament, Pastor Lutzer focuses on the Temple periods when God scattered and then brought His people back. Throughout the Bible, God would keep saving a remnant of His people.
