How should we respond when someone’s self-absorption is destroying everything around them? Saul’s jealousy led him to threaten David’s life. In this message, Pastor Lutzer teaches us how to dodge a “spear” like David escaping from Saul. Let’s learn all the lessons God wants to teach us from those impossible people.

Narcissists are out to make sure they look better than anyone else. After David was anointed king, Saul wasn’t about to give his kingdom up for anything. In this message from 1 Samuel 10, Pastor Lutzer outlines five characteristics of destroyers like Saul. “Spear throwers” are willing to hurt anyone to keep up appearances.

Family feuds can run for centuries as generations nurse old grudges. But when Joseph was reunited with his brothers, he broke the cycle by refusing to retaliate. In this message, Pastor Lutzer explains five tests of Joseph’s conscience. Time does not heal family feuds—God does.

Conflict becomes a way of life—unless the cycle is broken. After Joseph’s brothers sold him into slavery, he had every right to give into bitterness. But in this message, Pastor Lutzer observes three deaths Joseph died: to his family, to his reputation, and to his friends. Joseph believed God had a purpose in everything.

God often humbles us to reconcile us to Himself—and to others. Only after Jacob encountered God was he ready to face his estranged brother. In this message, Pastor Lutzer outlines the steps we must take in a process of reconciliation. Are we willing to do whatever God expects of us to restore fellowship?

Inheritance issues can divide families permanently. Jacob, the younger brother, connived for the birthright of Esau, the older. In this message from Genesis, Pastor Lutzer tells of two incidents which caused division for these brothers for over twenty years. Where was God in the ultimate family dispute?

We are often defensive when someone approaches us. Cain allowed his anger and jealousy to override the counsel given to him, personally, by God—and killed his brother Abel. In this message, Pastor Lutzer will show us how to be sensitive toward God and toward others. Who could give us better advice than God?

Some people can inflict tremendous hurt without feeling any guilt. In the first family, Cain had no sorrow for killing his brother Abel, but was quite worried someone might kill him. In this message from Genesis 4, Pastor Lutzer reveals three underlying motivations for “destroyers.” These kinds of people play by a different set of rules.

Whether we’ve been wronged, or have wronged others, it can keep us from moving ahead spiritually. Reconciliation might seem impossible. In this message, Pastor Lutzer helps us recognize how unresolved offenses blind us. In the presence of God, we can bring Him our deepest offenses.
May 10, 2024
All of us have been offended at one time or another. Do we see that offense wherever we turn—bring it up constantly in conversation? In this message from Romans 12, Pastor Lutzer details the characteristics of the person who will not give an offense up. Jesus is willing and able to pull the deepest offenses out of us.
