We meet Sunday mornings at New Traditions Elementary School!
You can find more information about our Sunday gatherings on this page.
Summary
Regardless of one’s theological stance on marriage and sexuality, all followers of Jesus must grapple with Christ’s words prohibiting adultery and advocating for sexual purity. Listen as Dave unpacks Jesus’ teachings on lust and calls us to answer Christ’s invitation to costly obedience for the sake of a flourish life and society.
Text
Matthew 5:27-32
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell.
“It was also said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
