Scripting the Flip - Sermon On The Mount - Lust

Lead pastor Josh Carstensen continues our series on the Sermon on the Mount, as Jesus flips the script on how we tend to think about lust and adultery. When it comes to sexual sin and brokenness, all of us are in need of God's grace and mercy. Thankfully, Jesus also offers us a life of freedom, healing, and forgiveness, and he gives us a better way to live. When we embrace God's design for sexuality, we recognize that our sexual desires are something to be neither feared nor ruled by, but instead something to be formed and stewarded, as a gift. We will also hear from Duan Walker, the director of a local counseling ministry for those who need practical help and support on their journey toward wholeness and healing. Please note that this is a sensitive message and is not suitable for young children.
