The 7 Deadly Sins – Week 6 | Lust

When desire feels like a demand and culture swings between sexual permissiveness and moralizing shame, many of us are left confused, hurt, or hiding. This message tackles that exact tension: the ache of longing, the pain of using others, and the fear that desire will either consume you or get you condemned. The preacher walks listeners through Jesus’ stark words about lust and reframes them with a different key word—covenant—showing sex as a gift meant for faithful, binding love rather than a consumer transaction. You’ll hear a clear contrast between the integrity of covenantal intimacy and the deceit of lust, along with candid grace for people who’ve failed. Expect a practical, compassionate call to reorder desires and a hopeful vision of love that points beyond our mistakes to a faithful promise that heals and restores. Hear how covenant thinking reshapes desire and opens a surprising path to freedom.
