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.
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.
God often humbles us to reconcile us to Himself—and to others. Only after Jacob encountered God was he ready to face his estranged brother. In this message, Pastor Lutzer outlines the steps we must take in a process of reconciliation. Are we willing to do whatever God expects of us to restore fellowship?
Inheritance issues can divide families permanently. Jacob, the younger brother, connived for the birthright of Esau, the older. In this message from Genesis, Pastor Lutzer tells of two incidents which caused division for these brothers for over twenty years. Where was God in the ultimate family dispute?
We are often defensive when someone approaches us. Cain allowed his anger and jealousy to override the counsel given to him, personally, by God—and killed his brother Abel. In this message, Pastor Lutzer will show us how to be sensitive toward God and toward others. Who could give us better advice than God?
Some people can inflict tremendous hurt without feeling any guilt. In the first family, Cain had no sorrow for killing his brother Abel, but was quite worried someone might kill him. In this message from Genesis 4, Pastor Lutzer reveals three underlying motivations for “destroyers. ” These kinds of people play by a different set of rules.
Whether we’ve been wronged, or have wronged others, it can keep us from moving ahead spiritually. Reconciliation might seem impossible. In this message, Pastor Lutzer helps us recognize how unresolved offenses blind us. In the presence of God, we can bring Him our deepest offenses.
