About the Sermon

Lust is one of the most quietly destructive struggles in the church—and in our culture. In this message from Ben Davis Christian Church, you'll discover how Jesus addresses lust not with shame, but with clarity and compassion. Whether you're single or married, male or female, lust distorts the way we see people, damages relationships, rewires our brains, and creates distance between us and God. But there’s hope: Jesus invites you to something greater. Learn how to fight lust with radical purity, total surrender, and lasting freedom. If you’re tired of secret struggles and fake fixes, this message is for you.

Come Home

This powerful story reveals the heart of our Heavenly Father, who welcomes us back with grace, no matter how far we’ve strayed. Whether we see ourselves as the rebellious son or the resentful brother, the invitation is the same: come home to God’s love.

It’s Not the Seed—It’s the Soil

The problem isn’t with God’s Word—it’s with how we receive it. Jesus starts His story series by telling us the condition of your heart will determine the fruit of your life.
