The Third Reich And The Blood Of The Martyrs Part 2
July 11, 2022
Would we choose to suffer if we knew it was worth it? Some modern-day martyrs decided to make the ultimate sacrifice during the oppression in Nazi Germany. In this message, we examine five characteristics of Christ for the suffering church in Smyrna with applications to the 1940’s and today. No suffering, especially in Christ, is ever meaningless.

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.

What might have happened if all the pastors and their congregations in Germany stood up to Hitler? Some did, like Dietrich Bonhoeffer. In this message, we mark the characteristics of martyrs who gave their lives for the Gospel both in Scripture and in the 1940’s. Many gave their lives rather than bow the knee.

The church in Germany quickly caved to the Nazis’ plan, substituting a swastika for the cross of Christ. History reveals the web of lies and laws that captured many. In this message, we learn practical applications from Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego’s stand against a powerful king. We must never forget that it could happen again.

How could a nationwide church give into a political philosophy? Not only did Christian churches in Germany fail to critique Hitler’s regime, but they also bought into its agenda. In this message from the pages of history, we consider three vivid descriptions of the German church that warn us today. When the stakes are high, we must stand.

History is not merely random. Even when Hitler led Germany to ruin in the 1940’s, God had a divine purpose in it. In this message, we discuss two possible responses to God’s providence: anger at the One behind all that’s happening or awe in His presence. How will we respond when God doesn’t make sense?

Hitler’s rise to power is incomprehensible. While he attributed it to fate or providence, we would credit the demonic realm for his ascension. In this message from the pages of history and prophesy, we build on five pillars of God’s providence over everything. Why would God allow any kind of evil to happen?

Under pressure from agenda-driven groups, what was once considered free speech is now considered a hate crime. How do we stand up when the Cross offends somebody? In this message, we identify three principles when there’s a conflict between God’s law and the law of the nation. There can be no compromise with Jesus.

The government is encroaching on the Christian freedoms our country once had, favoring various political agendas which run contrary to God’s Word. In this message about Jesus’ view of Caesar, we acknowledge three duties we owe government: taxes, submission, and prayer. When a country opposes the cross of Christ, what should believers do?

Each of us is wired from birth to be selfish. Only the Spirit of God can change this, transforming our hearts so that we give ourselves to serve and bless others. In this message, we realize the power of blessing, humility, and faith through the story of a cab driver with a horrid past. God forms Christlikeness in us primarily through relating to others.

Someone once said, “The church is wonderful, except for the people.” When disagreements and personal agendas rise to the surface, friction inevitably occurs. In this message from Romans 12, we discover three qualities we need so we can have grace with “difficult” people. Though we do not always get along, how should we respond?

Baptism and the Lord’s Supper are two ordinances all Christians observe in one way or another. Despite our differences, what do we share as fellow believers? In this message, we look at a big-picture view of the church from God’s perspective in Ephesians 4. While we often disagree, unity can exist through our common Lord, doctrine, and service.
