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.

All four gospels tell the story of the death and resurrection of Jesus. In John chapter 20, the risen Christ revealed Himself to the disciples, beginning with Mary Magdalene. In this message we learn that Jesus was raised for us.

The Romans who crucified Jesus were very good at making sure a man was dead. And soldiers guarded the tomb to make sure He stayed dead. Nevertheless, nothing could withstand the power of God as He brought His Son back to life in brilliant glory.

How would you react if you had stood watching Jesus die? The crowd jeered at Him, the Chief Priests mocked Him, and His mother simply wept. The central event in human history drew many kinds of responses, and it still does today.

The events of the last week of Jesus’ life on earth culminated in the sacrifice that bought our salvation. The Bible describes the drama and the horror of His execution on the cross. In this message we learn about the reactions of those who actually killed Jesus.

It’s called Skull Hill, a place of execution outside the walls of ancient Jerusalem. Only common criminals were crucified, and that’s what Jesus was considered. He was condemned by the Romans at the urging of Jewish leaders, but He went willingly to that cross for us.

Courts may deliver the sentence, but justice is not always done. For Jesus, mock trials were held to give legitimacy to the killing of an innocent man. But He knew there was a higher court, where true justice would prevail. For this reason, we need not seek vengeance on earth. 
March 21, 2018
Before his crucifixion, Jesus endured mock trials to establish His supposed guilt. First, the Jewish leaders passed judgment. Then He was handed over to the Roman court system. The civil case against Jesus was another mockery of justice.
