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.

The Bible tells us to “remember the Lord’s death until He comes.” What Jesus did during those last fateful days was done for undeserving sinners.  In this message we remember the Garden of Gethsemane, and how far God went that we might be redeemed.

During their enslavement in Egypt, the people of Israel found themselves in some really tough spots. Only when the pressure really mounts do some of us finally cry to God for help. In this message we explore some of the reasons for Israel’s national trial, and the trials we also go through.

When life is a pressure cooker for years on end, it’s easy to believe that God simply does not care. But we must remind ourselves of the promise of God that He will never leave us nor forsake us. When we’re in a tight place, it’s the promises of God that can get us through the darkness.

Israel faced great trials under the heel of the Pharaoh of Egypt. The people were brutally oppressed as slaves. The lessons they learned might help us face the stress of a modern era. In this message we learn about “Finding God in a Tight Place.”

If life were always easy, we’d never learn the lessons that come through trials. The desert gave Moses that opportunity. Many of us might be in the desert, learning lessons for a future day when we’ll understand their value.

When tough times come, it’s easy to lose heart. Moses grew up in Egypt, while the people of Israel were under bondage to Pharaoh. He had to learn some hard lessons, and in this message we’ll discover how he learned to trust God despite his circumstances.

What do you do when life is hard and options are few? In this message, Dr. Lutzer takes us to the Old Testament story of a man who had it all, and then lost it all. Through his life we learn about “Finding God in Your Desert.”

There’s a heavy focus on praise in many of our churches, and praising God is always in order.  But the Bible tells us that God expects our praises to be accompanied by the sacrifices of sharing: sharing our time, talent and treasure. Both praising and sharing are crucial in the life of the believer.

What principles undergird the worship experience in your church? The book of Hebrews gives us a basis for how we should conduct corporate worship. God’s word provides the instruction that can set all of our churches on solid ground. 
February 27, 2018
The true worship of God involves personal sacrifice. We give of our time, our talents, and our treasure. And the Bible says all of this is “acceptable to God.”  We need to learn how to live in a way that worships God continually.
