Taking the wrong path wastes irreplaceable time. Like choosing the right path, God's laws are clear and unchangeable, guiding us to life. In this message from 1 Thessalonians 4, Pastor Lutzer explains how to please God through our daily sanctification. He shares a letter of a man’s deliverance from pornography addiction.
In our media age, sensuality, violence, and the occult pervade our screens. But the Church is called to holiness, even if it’s not a popular notion. In this message from 1 Thessalonians 4, Pastor Lutzer answers the first of three questions about what pleases God. Why should we please God, choosing holiness?
How can we please God? In 1 Thessalonians 4–5, Paul gives his readers commands to follow—commands we should all follow. In this message, Pastor Lutzer explains the four underlying assumptions about God’s will. As we obey the Lord’s commands, He is renovating our hearts.
How can we know, and delight in, God’s will? Whatever our circumstances or degree of optimism, we can follow God’s commands by the power of the Holy Spirit. In this message from 1 Thessalonians, Pastor Lutzer shows three direct commands about God’s will. We'll not only know the will of God, but also how to please Him.
Taking a stand for what’s right means going against the prevailing tide. To be counter-cultural and to speak up for the truth requires strength from God. In this message, Pastor Lutzer offers two takeaways from 1 Thessalonians 3, empowering Christians to stand together. Let’s find strength in the Lord.
