Our self-image can often conflict with God’s view of us. When God called Moses to liberate Israel from Egypt, Moses reacted with excuses based on his sense of inadequacy. In this message from Exodus 4, Pastor Lutzer looks at the first of five objections Moses had. But excuses never work with God.

Our past sins often weigh heavily on us, making us doubt if we can ever get a fresh start. God required the Israelites to sacrifice a lamb in place of their firstborn for their deliverance. In this message, Pastor Lutzer reveals two transformative lessons from this powerful symbol of Jesus’ sacrificial blood. Will we embrace His sacrifice made on our behalf?
God is the God of new beginnings. The first Passover not only delivered God’s people from judgment but also foreshadowed our own salvation. In this message, Pastor Lutzer explains how the Passover lamb’s five-step process foreshadows Jesus—the perfect Lamb of God. No matter our past, the blood applied makes all the difference.
God hates idolatry. For every single believer, God will fight to remove the idols from our hearts, our lives, our homes, and our experience. In this message, Pastor Lutzer reveals three ways to cultivate a responsive heart to God, unlike Pharaoh’s stubborn defiance. How does God war with us against the idols of our hearts?
Every time we deliberately sin, we’re breaking the first commandment. “Thou shalt have no other gods before Me. ” In this message from Exodus 7, Pastor Lutzer begins to walk us through the ten plagues, where God confronted the false gods of Egypt. Even today, God is still at war with the idols of our hearts.
Some people assume God can be manipulated or that He is far beyond our reach. But actually, all of our experiences are designed by God to nudge us closer to Him. In this message, Pastor Lutzer describes the life of faith for Moses and for Joni Eareckson Tada. If all we do in life is to know and worship God, we will have delighted His heart.
