Running To Win

The Discipline of Servanthood, Part 1 of 3 (Disciplines That Grow Godliness)

November 28, 2017

Being a servant goes against our selfish grain. Everybody likes being served, as long as they don’t have to serve others. But in God’s eyes, it is the servants who win in the race of life. We need a paradigm shift. In this message we explore “The Discipline of Servanthood.”

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.

In the race of life, God wants us to discipline ourselves in many ways. This includes our use of money. God wants us to learn to be generous with the funds He has provided. Then those funds will lose their grip on our greedy hearts, and help advance God’s kingdom.
