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.
