Running To Win

Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer

God Yes, But Why Jesus? Part 2 of 2 (God Yes, But Why Jesus?)

July 31, 2018

If you were near death in a hospital, you’d want the truth about your condition. Mere opinions wouldn’t cut it. Finding out the truth about our spiritual condition and its remedy has to be our number one priority. In this message we learn more about why Jesus is the only road that leads to God.

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.

In our day you cannot claim to have the truth without offending those around you. And when you say that Jesus is the truth, many people become upset. In this message we take a look at why Jesus is the only way to God.

Victorious runners in life’s race know they are but clay in the Potter’s hands. And the Potter can do whatever He wishes with His clay. Can we accept and embrace this reality? Can we look to God like Job did?

Hidden in the councils of heaven are the answers to the heartfelt cries of millions of people who simply want to know “why?” We seek a reason for our pain, and perhaps only the life to come will show us the answers we crave. But we know that beyond our pain is God Himself.

We can know that our life has a purpose, even when we suffer along the way. Job learned this from the voice of God in a whirlwind. If we’re going through unspeakable pain, we too must listen to that voice. 
July 25, 2018
When facing severe trials, we ask “why?” We may never fully know the answer, but for a suffering Job, the answer was dramatic. God’s voice spoke from out of a whirlwind. We may not receive as dramatic of an answer, but can we trust His heart even when we can’t understand His actions?

In many ways, God is hidden from us. He is too big for anyone to comprehend. God tested a man named Job, who then found wisdom by discussing his plight with a young man named Elihu. Is God big enough to superintend our suffering?

Tough questions must be faced. But there are questions and mysteries we may never fully fathom. Every generation needs to learn some key lessons anew, and it’s our turn as we look at the book of Job. 
July 20, 2018
“When I die, will I live again?” That’s the question Job raised several thousand years ago. Surely this brief life is not all there is. Something deep down inside cries out for an eternity that transcends our short-term problems.

When we are the victims of economic collapse or slander, something within us demands an answer. Through the life of Job, we discover the heavenly reasons for our earthly misfortunes and how Jesus would answer Job’s painful cries. 
July 18, 2018
It seems unfair: some people seem to glide through life unscathed, while others bear unimaginable burdens. Job’s anguish of soul during his trials cries out for an answer. “God, why me?”
