Put to Death Sexual Immorality

“Discover why the ancient, radical call to “flee sexual immorality” is not just an old-fashioned rule, but a life-giving invitation to find our true identity and victory in Christ. ”

Sermon Summary

Have you ever felt that the Christian sexual ethic is wildly out of step with our modern culture? In this message, we dive deep into Colossians 3 to explore a conversation that is as controversial today as it was in the first century Greco-Roman world.

If the Apostle Paul were presenting his letter to a publisher today, an editor might advise him to start with "easier" topics like love or singing. Instead, Paul addresses the most challenging areas of our lives first: sexual immorality, impurity, and passion. We invite you to join us as we move past the surface-level definitions of our culture and look honestly at the biblical call to "put to death" what is earthly within us.

Through the lens of 1 Corinthians 6, we remind ourselves that our bodies are not our own; they are temples of the Holy Spirit, bought with a price. Whether you are wrestling with the "hookup culture," navigating the lies of the enemy, or simply seeking to walk more closely with God, this is an invitation to be rooted and built up in Christ.

We aren’t just trying to "be good"—we are learning how to starve the flesh and feed the Spirit. Come and discover how resurrection power allows us to no longer be slaves to passion, but to find a design for humanity that is far better than anything the world offers.
