Summary

In this message on the deadly sin of lust, Pastor Levi Lusko teaches that sex itself is a good gift created by God that becomes destructive when corrupted by sin. He outlines biblical principles for overcoming sexual temptation, emphasizing that our bodies are sacred temples of the Holy Spirit bought at a high price. By confessing hidden struggles, anchoring our hope in the resurrection, and trusting in the healing wounds of Jesus, believers can experience lasting victory and freedom.

Key Points

1.
Sex is a good gift created and designed by God, but sin deforms healthy sexual desires into selfish, destructive lust.
2.
Unchecked lust never stays small—feeding fleshly desires only causes them to grow and demand more stimulation.
3.
Lust is not love; rather, it is an identical twin to hatred that objectifies and dehumanizes people created in God's image.
4.
Anchoring our hope in our future bodily resurrection reminds us that earthly marriage is merely a glimpse of the ultimate joy found in God's presence.
5.
Because the Holy Spirit dwells within believers, God is present in every private moment of our lives, calling us to pursue holiness.
6.
Walking in lasting victory over sexual sin requires bringing secrets into the light through confession, radical repentance, and community accountability.
7.
No matter how deep our sexual scars may be, they are fully healed and redefined by the sacrificial wounds of Jesus.

Sermon Moments

“Sex is good because God is only good. God is only capable of doing good. God is only capable of inventing good. And God invented sex.”

“You can't logic with your sin. You can't reason with your sin. You can't make deals with your sin. You know the only thing you can do? Crucify the flesh with its passions that you may live.”

“Lust isn't even a first cousin to love. But it's an identical twin to hate.”

“Marital bliss is actually just a hint of the glory that is awaiting us in the presence of God.”

“If the eyes are the window to the soul, and your heart is Christ's home, watching porn is an abomination of desolation.”

“To admit you have a problem is a powerful sign of strength in God's family. We're going to rally around you.”

“The devastation of your sexual scars are no match for the healing scars of Jesus Christ... Your scars don't define you. His do.”

This Week

Reframe your view of sex as a sacred, God-given gift meant to be enjoyed strictly within the covenant of marriage.

Stop making compromises or trying to reason with lust, recognizing that feeding fleshly desires only causes them to grow.

Bring hidden sexual struggles and secrets into the light by confessing them to trusted believers or church leaders.

Meditate on the truth that the Holy Spirit lives inside you, motivating holiness in your private thoughts and habits.

Shift your deepest longings away from earthly relationships and anchor your hope in your eternal future with Christ.

Guard your eyes and imagination by turning away from pornography and media that objectify human beings created in God's image.

Receive Christ's forgiveness for past sexual sins, trusting that His sacrificial wounds bring complete healing and redefine your worth.

Remember This

True freedom from lust comes from recognizing that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit and bringing hidden struggles into the light of Christ's redeeming grace.
