The Eclipse Of God
Just as the moon obscures the sun’s light during an eclipse, today’s radical secularism has obscured the light of God. But God’s light still shines—and He is calling us to shine His light in our growing darkness. Is God more tolerant than He used to be? Pastor Lutzer shows how God is both a God of wrath as well as grace; that He is both merciful and just, and both a redeemer and a judge. Deepen your love for our unchangeable God of the Bible and be empowered to proclaim the light of truth in a culture of darkness.

We all must examine our hearts and find out what really motivates us. Judas shows us how far away we can fall from Christ, even though, to all observers, we seem to be children of God. In this message, we’ll give our attention to three life-changing lessons that we dare not forget as we look at the life of Judas. Only grace draws us to Christ, changes our motivations, and keeps us in the love of God.

The gate to hell is right next to the gate that leads to heaven. How did Judas, who followed Christ for three years, not go through the gate to heaven? Judas’ covetous heart, determined will, and deceitful mind led him to the wrong door. Then when Judas had the chance, he rejected God’s grace. Is it possible that we could be so near, and yet so far, just like Judas?

Is God really willing to forgive? No Christian can get through a single day without the need to confess sins. That’s why Jesus washed the disciples’ dusty feet: to show we need daily cleansing. Let’s cover some practical issues on keeping short accounts with God and helping others be cleansed.

We need to come to Christ for cleansing every day. The One who washed the disciples’ feet is the only One who can wash our hearts. In this message, we discover the first of five life-changing questions: Who needs to be cleansed? How can we be cleansed? What is the purpose of cleansing? From the Upper Room, let’s discover the cleansing on offer from Jesus.

What if our vocations and work could reflect Jesus Himself? Jesus turned the world on its head when He stooped to wash the disciples’ feet. Superiors don’t serve inferiors, do they? In the kingdom of God, they do. For us to live like Jesus, we must practice servant leadership. Let’s look at three life-changing lessons that transform our mindset and bring meaning to our service.

We may appreciate those who serve, but few of us want to be servants. Let’s chart a new course—becoming like Christ, the ultimate Servant. Jesus knew that His time had come, so he got down on His knees and washed dirty feet. In this message, we’ll find three facts upon which Jesus’ service was based. Through Jesus’ act of service, He showed us the path to greatness.

Jesus taught us to not worry. Yet many of us worry all the time. This causes stress and erodes our spiritual power. Are you in need of a new outlook, or re-directed focus? In this message, we’ll rejoice in three principles to help you overcome worry. Jesus invites us to seek first His kingdom and let Him handle our daily needs.

Anxiety, tension, and stress are normal today. In a stimulated, fear-saturated culture, we long for relief. There’s a way to settle our anxious hearts. In this message from Matthew 6, we’ll find peace in our storms with three reasons why we shouldn’t worry. Jesus reveals the heart of our Heavenly Father in life-transforming ways.

Are we willing to stand alone, knowing that God stands with us? Daniel was alone in warning the Babylonian king of his pending destruction. That night, Belshazzar’s feast began with revelry and ended with his death In this message, let’s explore Daniel’s three indictments against Belshazzar. We’ll be challenged to live for Christ in a world that’s lost its way.
March 21, 2022
The judgment of God may be long in coming, but it can come with a vengeance. As the Babylonian Empire partied, Daniel stood before the king and read the handwriting on the wall. The pride, blasphemy, and idolatry of Babylon could be overlooked no longer; God would destroy them that very evening. In this message, we face what God is doing here in America, and how God deals with nations. We must be willing to speak about God’s judgment with compassion and conviction.
