Many deny the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Like a stone rolled in front of the tomb, they dismiss the resurrection through their indifference, naturalist and humanist theories, or even religiosity.

Our lives and circumstances may not change, but do we desire to carry out the Father’s will, regardless of the outcome? The last week of Christ’s earthly life began in triumph, and ended in His death.

We often are tempted to believe the lie that God must not love us, especially when we have unfulfilled desires. Some people think that God always leads His children in easy pathways of blessing when in reality, God often leads His people into the wilderness.

It seems the world is reeling from crisis to crisis in a climate of fear. Fear consumes many of us, and for the rest, it lurks in the back of our minds. But as God’s people, if we truly understand God and His promises, what can trouble us? In this message on Psalm 27, we’ll explore four blessings David held onto even though he faced difficult circumstances.

Believers can tend to get caught up with everyone else when economic and social calamities strike. How should we as believers act and live when the going gets tough?

We’ll explore five choices that cultivate intimacy with God where He can revive our souls even in the middle of a dry and dusty land.  Click here to listen (Duration 54:30)

Like Christians in ancient Rome, believers around the world today experience persecution meant to destroy their faith. We Christians in the Western church should ask ourselves honestly, “What would it take for us to deny our faith?” Christians in the end times of Revelation will neither submit to the Antichrist nor deny Christ—and many will be martyred because of it. How can we overcome like that when we’re under pressure for our faith?    Click here to listen (Duration 54:30)

One day, everything that gives you any false sense of security will vanish. On the day of final judgment, your relationship with God will be all that matters. The ultimate day of calamity will come when you’re standing before God and watching all you’ve achieved – your status, your wealth – go up in smoke. In this message from James 5, you’ll hear five graphic warnings about the false security of wealth and the coming judgment of God. But if you’ve trusted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, you have no reason to fear that day. You need only to be true to Him.   Click here to listen (Duration 54:30)

Sometimes you can go directly from great blessing to times of great trial. That’s what happened to Jesus when the Spirit led Him into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

It’s time; time to turn your burdens and your troubled conscience over to the only worthy King. Two thousand years ago, at just the right time, a procession of Magi from the east came to Jerusalem in search of a new King of the Jews.

There are many ways you can be mired in darkness: philosophically, morally, or even spiritually. An old Jewish man had served in the temple in Jerusalem all his life. Yet when he met the child Jesus, he knew he was witnessing the hope not only of his nation but also for all the nations: a light has come.

No one is exempt from the need for the Savior. On the night of the first Christmas, the night sky over Bethlehem was suddenly ablaze with light.

In a world of increasing chaos, people yearn to hold onto what is sure. The Christmas season reminds us that Jesus was born in Bethlehem to save the world. His entrance was announced through an angel to a young Jewish maiden over two thousand years ago.

Are you confused by all the various perspectives on the end times? One book in the Bible promises a blessing to all who read it—the Book of Revelation. Rich in symbolism, it portrays the future yet to be: the glorious return of Jesus, the resurrection of the dead, the judgment of God, the Millennial reign, and finally, the eternity which follows. This book leaves no middle ground—and what you decide about Christ in this life will determine what your final destination will be.   Click here to listen (Duration 54:30)

Fractured, stressed, broken, dysfunctional…all these words describe the state of the family today. This chaos is often rooted in failed communication in marriages. The communication issue goes all the way back to the Garden of Eden. Shame, the fear of rejection, and blame are all brought to light in Genesis 3 with Adam and Eve. Like them, we manipulate each other to meet our own needs, rather than loving our spouse through meaningful communication—a love that reflects God’s own character.  Click here to listen (Duration 54:30)

When the rough spots come, and they will, how do married couples make it? In marriage, we might try to avoid dealing with conflict or taking responsibility for our sin. But without true communication or humility, our marriage bond is ruined, and we miss out on God’s blessing. As Ephesians 5 describes, God designed marriages more to develop character than to ensure a lifetime of happiness.  Click here to listen (Duration 54:30)

Many couples have prenuptial agreements to divvy up their possessions should the marriage fail. What hope is there for a lasting marriage? With a vision of purity and honor, God’s Word counters the lies we want to believe about marriage.

The Bible tells us how marriages can last, come what may.  Click here to listen (Duration 54:30)

While the world continues to undermine marriage, Pastor Lutzer asks us, “How can we build an enduring marriage?” What keeps a couple together for decades, surviving war, immigration, deprivation, and material want?

The breakdown in society correlates with the breakdown of the family as well as the increase in sexual and other forms of abuse we see. Our enemy Satan seeks to attack the family and our souls in any way he can. Demonic lies and influences leave behind a trail of destructive choices and actions. Families and victims are then left broken in sin and dysfunction. But God can turn victims into victors.  Click here to listen (Duration 54:30)

When your family is destructive or abusive, it’s easy to feel completely alone. Look no further than the pages of Scripture to see families scandalized by abuse and its dysfunction. This leads to a crushing shame—not from a good conscience embarrassed by sin but from a broken spirit weighed down by patterns of sin. In this message, we’ll see how Jesus can make the soul whole and minister to the brokenhearted.  Click here to listen (Duration 54:30)

Do you ever wish your story could be rewritten? Sexual abuse does terrible damage. Relationships suffer all throughout the victim’s life due to early experiences children should never have.

Does happiness seem elusive in marriage? God’s purpose for marriage is our holiness. Yet in a time when divorce is so prevalent, how can we love like God wants us to love?
