In this message, Pastor Lutzer describes the context of the original sin. What do we do when we’ve made a bad call, and we have to live with it?

God will not tolerate the worship of images. But does that include crosses, crucifixes, or icons—objects many find deeply meaningful? In this message from Psalm 50, Pastor Lutzer addresses these questions about artifacts, or any physical representation of God. Let’s explore how the Bible defines idolatry.
God prohibits making images to represent Him. Yet even today, people give worship to a wide array of idols, carvings, pictures, and icons. In this message, Pastor Lutzer provides three Scriptural reasons why we should not use objects in worship. Why is there still so much controversy about the second commandment?
We were created to be worshipers. But God is very clear that He will not accept any rivals for our hearts. In this message, Pastor Lutzer highlights three important points about whom, or what, we choose to worship and how our ultimate allegiance affects our lives. Who are the gods that dominate today’s society?
Nothing, not even a good thing, should take the place of God in our lives. God tolerates no competition. In this message, Pastor Lutzer shares three reasons why God gave us the first commandment: the nature of God, of humanity, and of idolatry. Every person has a god, but the question is, “Who do you serve?”
God’s character never changes. The commandments He gave to Moses define His nature, and His expectations of our behavior. In this message, Pastor Lutzer demonstrates how God’s law reveals our need for His grace. The Law reveals our true condition, and only God's grace can bridge the gap.
