Lust

The second you say the word lust, you can feel the room change, and that's exactly why we usually don't talk about it well.

This message reframes lust not as a "those people" problem but as what happens when desire, which God designed and called good, stops serving love and starts serving itself. From James 1 to John 6, we look honestly at pornography, romance escapism, and the slow drift of small choices that quietly reshape how we see people, and then walk through four practical steps: guard what gets your attention, replace what you remove, move toward real connection, and redirect what your heart runs to.

Lust can create intensity, but it can never create intimacy; it keeps asking for more while giving you less in return. This one is for anyone, men and women, single or married, who is tired of just trying harder and is ready to point their desires toward the only place that can actually satisfy them.
