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.

When you read the words of Jesus, you find some radical sayings that confounded the people of His day. His mother Mary had insight into the effect her son would have, and she spoke about this in her Magnificat.

Over two thousand years ago Jesus was born in a small country in the Middle East. That birth became the turning point between BC and AD. But another child was born first, a forerunner of Jesus, whose name was John.

The words of Jesus penetrate us to our very core. In this message, we’ll hear Him speak on our motivations, as recorded in Matthew chapter six. If you want to run life’s race ablaze with light, you need the piercing words of Christ.

Good deeds can be seen, but motivations can’t. Why we do what we do is a key focus of Christ’s teaching in Matthew six. Here we experience radical surgery as our motives are dissected. In this message, we go to the clinic to get Christ’s diagnosis.

To stop eating for a time has known health benefits. But for the Christian, it also has great spiritual benefits. You don’t hear much about fasting in a fast-food culture.  Let’s learn more about the “why” and “how” of fasting, as Jesus taught in Matthew chapter six.

Most of us really like to eat. But there are times in a Christian’s life when eating should be the last thing on the agenda. In this message we set aside a big meal and remind ourselves about Christ’s teaching on the benefits of fasting.
