Running To Win

A Faith That Risks, Part 2 of 3 (A Faith That Survives Fire)

November 2, 2017

When our faith in God is genuine, it causes us to make choices in God’s favor. We willingly take the risk of alienating those around us when we choose God’s way over that of the world. That’s what Moses did, as we read in Hebrews chapter eleven.

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.

What would you do to be right with a holy God? 500 years ago, one man did about all he could do. Martin Luther sought divine approval by becoming a monk. In this message we go to the city of Erfurt, the very place where the great reformer sought peace with God.

Few among us are as thirsty for God as David was. Too many things fill our lives:  entertainment, distractions, and the pressures of job and home. But when those things are taken away, our true hunger can be felt—a hunger that only God can satisfy. 
October 20, 2017
David was a hunted man, chased among the rocks of the desert. He was a man who knew his only hope was in his God. David’s Psalms describe a man who learned to thirst for God like he thirsted for water. In this message we look at the ways God draws us to that kind of thirst.
