Sermon Rehash - Sunday, February 10

Continued my series in the Sermon on the Mount found in Matthew 5.

It was called Adultery, Lust and Desire...that should get most people's attention.

I really think in our society this message is so important because we have made lust into a national pastime. Here's what the scripture says:


27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’ 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.

The Holy Bible : New International Version. Grand Rapids : Zondervan, 1996, c1984, S. Mt 5:27-30

Here's what we learn about lust:

1. It's raging in our hearts
2. It's imposssible to satisfy
3. It's outcome is disastrous

A Startegy to Win over Lust

1. Monitor your eyes
2. Eliminate Temptation
3. Get Accountable

Do some study yourself - this is a marriage issue facing the church (you and I)
