    Building & Not Breaking: Lust Leads to Lose | May 10, 2026

    Pastor Andy Cass Comparison slowly opens the door to lust, envy, and relational drift. What begins in the eyes eventually settles in the heart and, if left unchecked, can destroy what God has entrusted to you. In this message, we unpack how lust is more than sexual temptation. It’s a disordered desire for what God hasn’t given you. Jesus calls us beyond comparison, beyond consumption, and back into love that honors, protects, and builds. TEXT: Matthew 20:15; Exodus 20:17; Proverbs 6:23–25; Matthew 5:27–30; James 4:2; Song of Songs 2:3 NOTES: BIG IDEA- Lust never builds, it always breaks. RELATIONAL QUESTIONS * Are you content… or are you complaining? * Are you grateful… or are you grumbling? * Are you longing… or are you lusting? * Are you looking within… or are you longing for what is beyond yours? * Are you building… or are you breaking? -Lust isn’t just sexual… it’s a disordered desire for what God hasn’t given you. -Lust lives in the heart and it looks through your eyes. -Lust is a deep desire that, if entertained long enough, will eventually dictate your behavior. -Lust is window shopping… with a willingness to use a hammer when no one’s looking to get what you want. -Lust alwasy leads to lose -Lust is the opposite of love… it’s a distortion of God’s perfect design. "Lust is about consumption. Love is about communion. Lust is about taking. Love is about giving. Lust uses. Love honors. Lust diminishes the other. Love cherishes the other." -Rich Vallodas Stay Connected: Give: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/giving Online Service: Sundays 9 AM (YouTube & Facebook Live) Connect: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/people/forms/113001 Instagram: @wearetheechochurch #EchoChurch #ChristianSermon #FaithGrowth #BibleTeaching
