Past Episodes

All false gods make promises. They don’t keep them but they make them. In this message from Exodus 7, Pastor Lutzer continues a tour through the ten plagues of Egypt, helping us see that God is always at war—with idolatry. What promises do the false “gods” of our culture make?
March 3, 2025
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 might be too busy. 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.
February 27, 2025
Many of us have a small conception of God. But, as Moses discovered at the burning bush, the Lord is infinitely greater than our comprehension will allow. In this message from Exodus 4, Pastor Lutzer gives us a glimpse of God’s sovereignty and holiness. Are we prepared to obey whatever God commands us to do?
February 26, 2025
While we journey to know who we are, the greater discovery is to know God. He uses every little moment to draw us to Himself. In this message, Pastor Lutzer examines four characteristics that mark those who truly know God. But does God's sovereignty extend even to those who resist knowing Him?
February 25, 2025
We may find a host of reasons or excuses to say “no” to God’s leading. But God will firmly and graciously overcome our objections—like He did for Moses. In this message, Pastor Lutzer encourages us to heed the voice of God and see all that He will do through us. The God of Moses is the same God today.
February 24, 2025
Obeying God is not optional. At first, we may try to avoid God’s call like Moses did, but excuses don’t work. In this message, Pastor Lutzer guides us through our own inadequacy or comparison. God may be taking us out of our sense of security, and into a journey of dependence upon Him.
February 21, 2025
Our self-image can often conflict with God’s view of us. When God called Moses to liberate Israel from Egypt, Moess 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.
February 20, 2025
God uses seasons of testing, and even boredom, to develop our spiritual maturity. As a shepherd, Moses learned the leadership lessons that would transform him into Israel's deliverer. In this message, Pastor Lutzer confirms how God continues to work for us and with us in the desert experience. But what if it seems God is silent?
February 19, 2025
Some lessons we can only learn in the desert—not in the palace. Moses’ journey took him from Egypt’s throne room to herding sheep in obscurity. In this message from Exodus 2, Pastor Lutzer explores how Moses learned to trust and obey the Lord. If we are alive today, God is not finished with us yet.
