Too many Christians are nursing past wounds, afraid to let the secrets out. Yet like a skilled surgeon, God can create a clean wound that will heal properly and fully. In this message from 1 Corinthians 10: 13, we process three characteristics of the way of escape. How do we find healing from our past?
Running the race of life is hard. Yet with the Bible front and center and a heart to encourage, Dr. Erwin Lutzer, Pastor Emeritus of the historic Moody Church in Chicago, takes listeners on a journey into the Word to help them make it across the finish line. Dr. Lutzer shares the good news of the gospel each day on Running to Win.
What does it mean to live passionately for Jesus? According to Pastor Erwin Lutzer, it includes doing good and suffering for it. In this message from 1 Peter 2, Pastor Lutzer invites us to act, believe, and sacrifice like Jesus—even in the face of injustice. As we commit ourselves to the Father, we are living like our Savior did.
What is our purpose for life on this planet? God’s call on our lives is connected to our role as the church to be witnesses of the Gospel. In this message from 1 Peter 2, Pastor Lutzer describes three practical ways we share God’s excellencies with the world. But we can’t share the gospel if we don’t have the integrity to back it up.
If we try to get through a storm on our own, we can get blown over. That’s why believers worship together, pray for each other, and support each other. In this message from 1 Peter 2, Pastor Lutzer illustrates our place in the church as if we are trees in the Redwood Forest. When we belong to Christ’s church, we are deeply rooted.
God called us to become part of a church. But many have differing perceptions of what the church should be. In this message from 1 Peter 2, Pastor Lutzer clarifies two identifying marks of God’s people. A church body isn’t connected because of a common interest, but rather a common life—a life in Christ.
Every believer is a saint. How do we live in light of the price Jesus paid for our redemption? In this message from 1 Peter 2, Pastor Lutzer defines three distinctives of God’s call to holiness. If there is nothing within us desiring to be like God in purity and love, we need to seriously question whether we are truly a believer.
