Running To Win

Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer

Secret Serving, Part 1 of 2 (Sharing Secrets With God)

December 9, 2020

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.

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.

Waiting for God—it goes against our instincts. But waiting for His timing guarantees that things happen at the right time. Waiting for God means investing time every day in prayer: seeking His face and seeking His direction. In this message we discover how David learned to wait.

It’s the height of folly to think we can hide our sins from God. That’s what David wrote about in Psalm 32. Caught red-handed in great sin, David came clean before God and man. What does it take to be fully forgiven by the God who sees everything we do?
