Passions In Conflict Part 2
September 22, 2022
Knowingly sinning will inevitably lead to destruction. King David’s lust led to a devious lie, a man’s murder, and a child’s death. In this message, we take four lessons about our passions to heart. Though the consequences can’t be changed, there is more grace in God’s heart.

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.

We’ve all been created with strong desires for sexual intimacy. But when left uncontrolled, our passions can destroy us. In this message, we catalog three steps that led to David’s greatest sin. From David and Bathsheba, we learn the danger of cover-ups as well as the high price of immorality.

When God chooses to not answer our prayers, we may think He’s forgotten us. When David appealed to God to build a temple, God’s answer gave him so much more. In this message, we find three responses from God in place of David’s original request: new promises, new intimacy, and a new project. God has something better in mind for us.

We sometimes find it difficult to keep on believing when God doesn’t do what we ask. When David wanted to build a temple, God’s answer was surprising. In this message, we ponder the mystery of God’s ways. Could God have something bigger in mind for us than what we originally requested?

What can we do when God allows circumstances that confound us? When the Lord killed a man helping get the ark to Jerusalem, King David found that God is not a manageable deity. In this message, we discover three lessons to help manage our anger, rather than the Almighty. God can handle whatever we bring to Him.

Is it ever okay to be angry with God? We are usually angry at God because we know that behind our difficult circumstances, there is God. In this message from 2 Samuel 6, we consider two truths to help us process our anger like King David. Bitterness only separates us from the help we need.

God often uses stressful situations to get our attention and set us back on track. In Israel, David’s hometown was destroyed by fire and his family captured. In this message from Psalm 18, we consider two lessons from David’s return to God. Anyone who’s strayed from the path can turn back to God.

We sometimes look to our most dangerous enemy to meet a need only God can. David fell so far that he joined Israel’s enemy army for a time. In this message, we review key narratives of David’s flight from Saul from 1 Samuel 24-27. What happens when we run from God to other fortresses instead?

We’d like to think that our Christian leaders always walk on the mountaintop and never have times far from the Lord. But it’s not so. Like King David, they fail. In this message, we take away three lessons from David’s experience of doubt and despair. We too can come out of a deep spiritual ditch.

When we fail to trust God, sin tightens its grip on us. While on the run for his life, David lied, starting a cycle of turmoil. In this message from Psalm 34, we see two pictures of David—one in a panic and another in prayer. Rather than sliding into despair, let’s face our doubt and win.

Relational conflict steals our peace and even our sleep. David’s long road to the throne was blocked by Saul, who attempted to kill him with a spear. In this message, we recognize three traits of a spear-thrower. While Saul tried to hold onto his kingdom, David humbly waited and trusted that God’s promises would come to pass.
