The Day Death Died–Part 2 of 2

March 14, 2024

When we die as believers, we do so within God’s loving providence, His loving purpose, and His mighty power. The sting of death is absorbed by the sacrifice of Jesus. In this message from John 5, Pastor Lutzer articulates the choice set before each one of us—two ways to die. At which resurrection will we appear: the resurrection to life or death?

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 Old Testament is made of many genres: prophecy, history, law, and wisdom literature. We should study with those types of categories in mind. In this flyover of the Old Testament, Pastor Lutzer focuses on the Temple periods when God scattered and then brought His people back.
