I Struggle with Lust

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.

Serving as Jars of Clay

“We are jars of clay who are fillable with the very presence of God.” Pastor Josue unpacks the biblical metaphor of believers as “jars of clay,” explaining how followers of Jesus are:
Fragile
Finite
Fallible
Fillable
Functional

Faithfulness

In Week 2 of our Be Our Guest series, guest speaker Makayla Lance walks through the story of Abraham and Sarah in Genesis and reminds us of a truth we desperately need to hear:
God is faithful—even when we struggle to believe He will come through.
For 25 years, Abraham and Sarah waited on a promise from God that seemed impossible. And somewhere in the waiting came doubt, frustration, hopelessness, and the temptation to take control themselves.
Maybe you know that feeling too.
