There is no fear of God in this generation. Yet in our sinfulness and rebellion, the reality is we can never approach Him directly. In this message, Pastor Lutzer warns against both worshipping a false god and approaching the true God incorrectly. Nothing is more important than what we believe about God.
All four gospels document Jesus’ death and resurrection. John’s account shows how the risen Christ first appeared to Mary Magdalene. In this message, Pastor Lutzer highlights the honest and personal relationship she had with Jesus. Mary’s journey from demon-possessed to daughter of God reveals Christ’s transforming power.
The Romans expertly executed Jesus, ensuring He was truly dead. Yet God’s power prevailed, resurrecting His Son in glorious triumph. In this message from John 20, Pastor Lutzer highlights Mary Magdalene, a woman prominent in Jesus’ life. Consider the wonder of seeing your Savior alive again after witnessing His death!
The central event in human history drew many kinds of responses. At the cross, the crowd jeered Jesus, the chief priests mocked Him, and His mother simply wept. In this message, Pastor Lutzer draws three profound implications from Jesus’ sacrificial death. What if we bear personal responsibility for how we respond to Jesus’ death?
Hanging on the cross, Jesus endured mockery and contempt. His Father witnessed it all too. In this message from Mark 15, Pastor Lutzer examines three responses at the crucifixion: Jesus, other individuals, and the crowds. But instead of punishing those who tortured His Son, God directed His judgment onto Jesus—for us.
