May 20, 2021

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.

There’s a day coming when the age of this world will end. But that day is the Christian’s bright hope—the day Jesus returns. It will be a day like no other. And because the Scripture cannot be broken, that promised day is an absolute certainty.

Christ ascended to bring many sons and daughters to glory. His ascension was a crucial step in creating the Church—the body of Christ. Only a few saw Jesus rise into the sky, but the entire population of Earth will see Him return.

Christians know that Jesus is sitting at God’s right hand. His ascension into heaven opened the gates of heaven for us. And the ascension is also important because it was key to the founding of the Church.

We know the Olympic Games began in ancient Greece because historical writings tell us so. Similarly, historical records provide massive amounts of evidence that Jesus rose from the dead. Christ’s resurrection is as certain as any event in history.

Ancient Rome had executions down to a science, and death was final—until the resurrection of Jesus Christ. When God raised Him from the dead, His resurrection guaranteed that those who believe in Him will one day rise as well.

The love of God was put on display when Jesus died on the cross for our sins. Christ’s sacrifice was visible that day in Jerusalem, and today it’s visible by faith to those who trust Him for the salvation His death purchased.
May 12, 2021
Christ’s defining moment was His cruel death on the cross—a horrific price paid for our salvation. The death of Jesus bought the forgiveness of sins, and for that we must be eternally grateful.

Genuine authority comes from God. Jesus Christ had the kind of authority we feel even today, two thousand years after He walked on Earth. How can He still command such devotion?
May 10, 2021
In all of history, no one has ever manifested the authority Jesus had. People were either drawn to Him, or they wanted to kill Him. Even today, when encountering the real Jesus there is still no middle ground. Why is that?
May 7, 2021
Real miracles include raising the dead, feeding the five thousand, and turning water into wine—the kind of miracles Jesus did to prove He was sent from God. Jesus was a man whose claims to be God were validated by His miracles.
