Washed: Part 6 | Pastor Antonette Weatherly

Pastor Antonette closes a “Washed” series on the seven deadly sins by addressing lust through the lens of Galatians 5 and the finished work of the cross. The core takeaway is that true freedom from lust (and all sexual bondage) comes not from rules, purity culture, or self-effort, but from the blood of Jesus that cleanses every history and the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit. Lust is defined as disordered sexual desire that objectifies others, while the invitation is into “chastity”—a wholehearted, flaming devotion of body, heart, and life to King Jesus. The ground at the cross is level; no one is disqualified by their past. Practical steps and the fruit of chastity (justice, true relationship, appreciation of beauty) are offered as the overflow of a heart fixed on Christ.
