Appropriating the Happiness That Is in You | By Keeping Sex in Marriage: Appropriating the Happiness That Is in You (Part 5)

In this uncompromising message, Dr. Michael Youssef confronts today’s moral collapse with Jesus’ teaching from Matthew 5:27–30: “You shall not commit adultery.” Exposing the idolatry of sexual sin—even within the Church—he declares that God’s design for sex is a holy gift reserved for marriage between one man and one woman. Lust begins in the heart and must be mortified, not managed. With bold clarity, Dr. Youssef warns that unchecked temptation leads to destruction, but repentance brings restoration. Only the power of the Holy Spirit can enable believers to pursue purity, deny self, and live under Christ’s righteousness. God’s grace is sufficient to cleanse every sinner who turns to Him in faith and repentance.
