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 Matthew chapter 16, Jesus revealed to Peter that He was the Son of the living God, and Peter acknowledged that Jesus was the Christ. The same must be true for you and me. Following the crowd is not enough. Like Peter, we must answer the question “What do you think of Jesus?”

Violent winds can arise quickly on the Sea of Galilee, turning tranquility into terror. In Matthew chapter 14, the Bible paints a vivid picture of faith coming alive in the midst of upheaval. In this message we learn about Peter’s faith in the Jesus who controls the sea.

Peter’s journey of faith began when Jesus told him, a fisherman, how to fish. The resulting catch proved that obedience to Jesus was the key. Peter would learn that the power of Jesus to save men is as total as His power to draw fish into a net.
