April 11, 2018

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.

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.

One thing Peter and the disciples learned quickly was that Jesus was no ordinary man. He had command of the laws of nature, something they’d never seen, and never would have believed possible. In this message we learn how Peter stepped out in faith, on the Sea of Galilee.

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.

As believers, we run life’s race to please Jesus. He sets the pace as the goal we aim for every day. He’s the leader we’re eager to follow. In this message we discover how Peter learned a great lesson from his new Leader, a lesson on trusting beyond his own experience.

When Christ calls someone, life is never the same. Jesus called Peter from a life as a fisherman to a life he never could have imagined. For his new task, Peter had to accept a new name from his new Master. God used Peter, and none of us can know whom God will use in the future.

The Bible tells us to run life’s race to please Jesus, whose sacrifice on the cross bought the forgiveness of our sins. In this message we begin a series on the life of a man who ran his race just like that. The Apostle Peter was a man who was chiseled by the Master’s hand.

At Emmaus, the resurrected Jesus walked with disciples who were dejected and sorrowful, and they did not even recognize Him. But their hearts were strangely warmed by this passerby. Inviting Him to dinner, they found themselves face to face with the One they loved, but never expected.

Early on the disciples of Jesus argued over who would sit with Him in the kingdom. But when Jesus died, their dreams died. Their best-laid plans were in ruins. For some, they thought it seemed best to move on and forget those three wonderful years with Christ. In this message we learn how the resurrected Jesus revived their dreams, and how He can revive yours.

As we think of the resurrection of Jesus, we recall a doubting disciple who needed solid evidence before believing the Master was really alive. Jesus showed Thomas his wounded hands and side. He also said, “Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

Just one day after riding into Jerusalem, Jesus cursed a fig tree for not bearing fruit. As we learn more about this event, it’s clear that bearing godly fruit is very important to God.  In this message we learn the implications for you and for me.

Some opportunities have a limited time window. Jesus offered Himself to the nation Israel when entering Jerusalem on a donkey. They rejected Him, and the city was later destroyed. The triumphal entry of Christ was both a joyous and a solemn occasion, and we need to understand the high cost of lost opportunities.
