    Already Adultery!! Part 1

    OUTLINE: Connecting with the previous two sermons: How does Jesus show the sin of adultery to be something deeper than the act of adultery itself (5:27–28)? 1) How Numb We've Become! 2) Guard your Heart! 3) Already Adultery! Christological Conclusion: King David asks in Psalm 24: "Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place?" How do you answer these two questions?? Summary AI Generated....... In this sermon on Matthew 5:27-30, Pastor Geoff explains that Jesus deepens the seventh commandment, teaching that adultery begins not merely with an outward act but with lust in the heart. Just as Jesus previously exposed anger as the root of murder, He now reveals lust as a heart-level sin that leads to adultery and many destructive consequences. The pastor challenges believers to consider how modern culture has normalized and desensitized people to sexual sin, emphasizing that lust is a universal struggle that affects thoughts, desires, and actions. Jesus calls His followers to guard their hearts vigilantly, recognizing that sinful behavior flows from inward desires rather than merely external circumstances. The sermon stresses that God sees every thought and motive, exposing self-deception and reminding believers that outward restraint alone does not equal righteousness. Yet the message ultimately points to hope in Christ, who alone lived without sin, fulfilled God's law perfectly, and offers forgiveness, transformation, and power through the Holy Spirit to help believers fight lust and pursue holiness. Through His grace, Christians can live as new creations, growing in purity and devotion to God.

    Everybody Got It Wrong

    The sermon examines the narrative of Jacob and Esau in Genesis 27 to illustrate the danger of relying on human effort and sensory perception rather than trusting God's sovereign word. It highlights how Isaac, Rebekah, and Jacob all fail by attempting to manipulate divine promises through deception and works, contrasting this with the biblical call to faith alone. The text argues that physical senses are easily deceived, as seen in Isaac's error, whereas true faith comes from hearing and believing God's promises, a principle reinforced by references to Romans 10:17 and Revelation. The preacher warns against the modern tendency to add works to salvation, emphasizing that grace is sufficient and cannot be supplemented by human achievement. Ultimately, the message calls for a reliance on Christ's finished work and a discernment of God's voice amidst a world of increasing deception. Questions 1. Why did God bless Jacob when he lied to his father to get the blessing? 2. If God had already promised that Jacob would receive the blessing, why did Rebekah think she had to help God make it happen? 3. What does the Bible mean when it calls Esau a "profane person"? 4. What is the difference between Esau's birthright and his blessing, and why did they matter so much? 5. Can we miss something God wants to give us because we try to get it our own way instead of waiting on Him? 6. Why did Isaac trust what he could feel, taste, and smell instead of trusting Jacob's voice? 7. Does the Bible teach that our senses and feelings can deceive us? How do we know what is actually true? 8. Why does Jesus repeatedly say, "He that hath an ear, let him hear"?
