Matthew 5:27-30

Listen to Matthew 5:27-30

The Sermon on the Mount: Adultery and Lust

27 "You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.'
28 But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
29 And if your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw [it] from you! For it is better for you that one of your members be destroyed than your whole body be thrown into hell.
30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw [it] from you! For it is better for you that one of your limbs be destroyed than your whole body go into hell.

Avoiding Lust Part 2
Avoiding Lust Part 2
Jeff Johnson

Marriage is God’s idea.  He designed the union of a man and a woman to be a permanent lifetime commitment.  He underscores that without commitment, you can’t establish trust and without trust, there can’t be true intimacy. When the trust is broken by adultery it’s extremely devastating.  Just look around for evidence of that! Pastor Jeff Johnson is teaching through the Sermon on the Mount and today on Sound Doctrine we come to the subject of Adultery and Lust.

Adultery is occurring at an alarming rate in today’s world.  It’s even portrayed in such a way on TV as if it’s perfectly acceptable and normal. But what they rarely show is the devastation that’s left behind. Today on Sound Doctrine we’ll see what God has to say on the subject and where it all starts in the heart.  While you may have never committed the physical act of adultery, have you ever looked at another person with lust in your heart?  Join pastor Jeff Johnson in Matthew chapter five for part one of, “Avoiding Lust!”
