Matthew 5:27-30 Adultery/Lust

In this message, we explore Jesus’ penetrating words on lust, purity, and the condition of the human heart. In Matthew 5:27–30, Christ moves beyond the external commandment against adultery and exposes the deeper heart-level battle that every believer must confront. This is not a passage about self-harm, but about the seriousness of sin, the urgency of repentance, and the transforming grace that empowers true holiness.

Join us as we walk verse-by-verse through this challenging but life-giving section of the Sermon on the Mount. You’ll learn:

• Why Jesus raises the standard far above outward obedience

• How lust takes root in the heart—and how Scripture calls us to fight it

• What Jesus means by “tearing out” and “cutting off” what causes us to sin

• Practical, biblical steps for pursuing purity in a modern world

• How the gospel offers hope, cleansing, and real transformation

If you’re seeking a deeper understanding of Jesus’ teaching, or if you long for freedom from the hidden struggles that keep so many believers in bondage, this message will equip, challenge, and encourage you.
