Pulpit: Lust & Adultery

Matthew 5:27-30 | December 29, 2019 | Hanley Liu Watch the sermon video: https://youtu.be/_9DD0z_xqhI Personal Application Questions: 1) What is the balance between gospel-grace and spiritual discipline? Why is it tempting to emphasize one extreme over the other? 2) In what ways can the church minister to those who have been hurt by adultery? Armed with the gospel, how can you encourage them in Christ? Please take a moment to pray for all the spouses, single parents, and children who have been hurt by adultery. Pray that they would receive healing in Christ and be empowered to forgive those who sinned against them. 3) Taking Jesus’s teaching on adultery seriously, what daily rhythms and practices have you implemented to guard against lust? What role does the Christian community play in keeping you accountable? 4) In a world where emotional affairs and pornography are as prevalent as physical acts of sexual immorality, how does Jesus’s teaching speak to our culture
