Running To Win

God, I've Lost Everything! Part 1

November 2, 2022

In this life, we can experience great sorrow and disappointment. After losing it all, Job moved from understanding to perplexity and from faith to despair. In this message, we imagine interviewing Job in three probing scenes. When bad things happen to good people, where does God fit into accidents?

When You’ve Been Wronged
Conflict in relationships is inevitable, but healing and reconciliation often is not. Time and again we've tried every option and failed, and all we are left with is a load of guilt and pain. Pastor Erwin Lutzer shows how the blessing the Lord gives to those who suffer unjustly is worth the pain involved. He also illustrates the need to leave our broken relationships in the hands of God and move forward in our lives toward freedom.

When we experience loss outside our control, the pain can seem senseless. Yet as Job found long ago, God has a supreme purpose in our suffering. In this message, we discover four essential lessons for our present or future suffering. Is it possible to worship God without any explanation?

When a child dies, a job is lost, or a reputation is slandered, we often wonder who’s behind it. Amid immense tragedy, Job showed us how to ask why. In this message, we reflect on the roles of God, Satan, and Job in this story. We may be shocked to find out who was ultimately behind the pain and suffering in which Job found himself.

What compels Christians to be courageous in the face of life’s storms? In Acts 27, were it not for the courage of Paul, all the prisoners and soldiers aboard his ship would have been lost. In this message, we nail down three applications for facing our storms. The One who conquered death is with us in the storm.

We face many storms in life, even when we’re in the will of God. While in chains, Paul was sailing to his trial in Rome when a storm arose. In this message, we encompass the first of three lessons on crises. When we find ourselves in a storm, we just might learn something new about God.

God uses messes and injustices for His good purposes. Paul pled his case before Rome’s king in Israel, seizing the moment to communicate the Gospel. In this message, we’re encouraged by two lessons from Paul’s conversion story. Even amid disappointments and difficulties, God is still working to shine His light.

How can God turn life’s obstacles for good? Though Paul encountered injustices in prison, that didn’t stop him. In this message from Acts 25, we’re reminded of God’s purposes in difficulties and disappointments. Let’s watch Paul’s conduct before and after Christ, from the perspective of a pagan ruler.

Too often, we sacrifice eternity on the altar of the present. Though Paul was on trial, he confronted the Roman governor Felix’s sins. In this message, we hear a clear warning against the love of money or people’s opinions. We cannot wait until we die for our sins to come to light and for us to be humbled before God. 
October 24, 2022
Many today ignore their conscience when confronted with Christianity. The Apostle Paul spoke directly to Felix, causing the Caesarean governor to become uncomfortable. In this message, we overhear Paul’s words about righteousness, self-control, and coming judgment. Are we willing to sacrifice being comfortable in the here and now?
October 21, 2022
What are we willing to do because of our passion for God? In Jerusalem, some new believers insisted that converts to the Christian faith keep observing Jewish laws. In this message, we meet Paul as he settles an argument that put the outreach of the Gospel at risk. We too are called to give our lives to carry out God’s desires. 
October 20, 2022
Imagine all God can do through someone solely focused on God’s will. Paul’s determination to settle a church split in Jerusalem drove him into hardship, and eventually, to be on trial in Rome. In this message, we consider Paul’s dilemma and defense. Are we willing to do what is right even when harm is seemingly inevitable?
