Death by Degree

1 Amens

Amen

Ephesians 5:3 "...not even a hint of sexual immorality...

Proverbs 5:18-19 "...rejoice in the wife of your youth...loving doe, a graceful deer - may her breasts satisfy you always...ever be captivated by her love."

The gift of sexuality is one of the most powerful forces in our lives for both pleasure and pain.  Like fire, sexuality, in its proper place, is both powerful and beneficial.  But out of control, it can also become a destructive force. Satan is able to use sexual sin in a devastating "one-two" punch in our lives.  First, we are tempted to move away from God's ideal, into sin.  After we sin, Satan then turns the mirror on us to condemn and ridicule us.

As your pastor, my hope and prayer for you is that you would step into the fullness of sexual healing and fulfillment.  That your desire to walk with Jesus Christ, and to be used by Him, would not be compromised because of hidden sin in your life. 

Key Passage: Revelation 2:18-29

AMEN!! So many major points to remember! This message wasn't intended to add shame, at first I did feel that, but after Pastor Mark explained, a great weight was lifted. It's such a touchy, personal topic - but SO important for me right now. Absolutely and completely relevant in today's society! Today, for the first time, I am able to rejoice and learn from my past instead of have it hold me captive. Thank you Lord, for directing this message through Pastor Mark! And thank you Pastor Mark for loving us enough to take this on, uncomfortable as it may have been!
