    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.

    Matthew 24:32-35 - The Lesson from the Fig Tree - Pastor Casey Lewis

    What is the lesson of the fig tree in Matthew 24, and what did Jesus mean when He said, "this generation will not pass away until all these things take place"? In Matthew 24:32-35, Jesus teaches His disciples to recognize the signs He has given, remain alert, and trust that every word He has spoken will come to pass. Pastor Casey Lewis continues through the Olivet Discourse from an amillennial, already-and-not-yet perspective. Jesus was speaking to His first-century disciples about events they would witness—including the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple—while also describing the character of this present age and pointing forward to the greater fulfillment still to come at the return of Christ. The lesson of the fig tree is not an invitation to set dates for Christ's return. Just as new leaves show that summer is near, Jesus' words teach His people to recognize the realities that mark this age, stay awake, resist deception, endure hardship, and live ready for His return. Even through persecution, lawlessness, wars, false teaching, and suffering, the Gospel of the Kingdom will continue to advance. This message also examines Jesus' statement that "this generation will not pass away" and His promise that although heaven and earth will pass away, His words will never pass away. Christians can therefore trust every word of Christ, live by faith rather than sight, and remain spiritually ready for the day of His return.
