Lust on SermonAudio

False teachers abound in this world and in our present society. We must take care to diligently vet all men before we take them into confidence. The task may seem daunting, but we have a great aid in the Word of God by which all men will stand or fall.

If you cut off your right hand what can your right hand do that your left hand cannot also learn to do? Jesus is not speaking to the mutilation of the body but rather the matter of the heart because if you plucked out both your eyes you will grope after sin with your hands, and if you cut off your hands you will run after sin with your feet, and if you cut off your feet you would crawl like a worm...

2 Timothy 4:3 "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;" King James Version

Titus 2:11-15 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; 13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and p...

Passage: 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12 We often pray for what we want, or what we think we need. But these prayers are often saturated with selfishness or simply the lusts of the flesh. Paul gives us 3 lessons on how to pray with purpose that is God honoring and Self humbling.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble—not delayed help, not theoretical help, and not help after we have made ourselves presentable. As Jonah's prayer from the fish comes to its close, we set it beside Psalm 46 and the church's first movement in Acts 4. This sermon presses four truths: The Lord is a present help in the pit, not a last resort. Sin is descent. God brings up....

This sermon explores the biblical mandate for believers to manifest a godly change in their lives, grounded in the liberty found in Christ.

The message contrasts the visible works of the flesh with the transformative f...

The LORD warns His people against testing Him. 4. The LORD warns His people against lusting after the flesh. 5. The LORD warns us against rebelling against Him. 6. The LORD provides a way of escape from sin...

This sermon examines Romans 1:24-32, presenting God's judicial response to humanity's rejection of the Creator as a sovereign act of abandonment rather than active punishment. The central theme is the 'foolish exchange' where humans trade divine truth for lies and natural order for unnatural desires, resulting in moral and spiritual degradation. By comparing this passage to the golden calf inciden...

This lesson explores the theological framework of human nature as a triune being composed of body, soul, and spirit, explaining the internal conflict between the Adamic nature and the Holy Spirit. It identifies the body as the vessel influenced by the five senses and the world system, while the soul, comprising mind, will, and emotions, serves as the decision-making center where strongholds and li...

Also James 1:12-15 Jas 1:12  Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.  Jas 1:13  Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:  Jas 1:14  But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and ent...

The sermon analyzes the Israelites' complaint in Numbers 11, illustrating how their craving for worldly comforts led to spiritual starvation rather than fulfillment. By contrasting the divine provision of manna with their lust for Egyptian foods, the text highlights the danger of forgetting God's past works and prioritizing earthly desires. The narrative demonstrates that receiving exactly what on...

This sermon examines the four commands Paul gives in 1 Thessalonians 4 regarding how believers are to walk pleasing to God. The primary focus is on the command for sexual purity, which is presented not as a cultural suggestion but as a direct divine mandate that sets Christians apart from the surrounding culture.

This warns us of the danger of desensitization to sin, the deceptive nature of temptation thro...

This sermon explores the raising of Lazarus in John 11 to demonstrate that Jesus is the resurrection and the life. The preacher addresses human impatience with God's timing, explaining that delays often serve a greater divine purpose rather than indicating neglect. It highlights the danger of misplaced focus on circumstances over Christ, using Martha's grief as an example of shifting attention awa...

Key verse 44 - Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Pastor Mark Hogan teaches on the fourth petition of the Lord's Prayer, 'Give us this day our daily bread' (Matthew 6:11), the first petition that addresses physical, temporal needs. He explains that 'bread' is a synecdoche for all bodily sustenance, citing Genesis 3:19, Psalm 104:15, Psalm 132:15, and the Heidelberg Catechism, and notes the request is deliberately modest—today's necessities, not r...

If it be so, that sin doth thus always abide in us, and will upon occasions work to all its fruit, to all manner of concupiscence, then the mortification of sin is a continual duty, that we ought to be exercised in all our days. Col. 3:3, "Ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God." A blessed state and condition! I desire no better attainment in this world than this holds out. But what...

NUMBERS—IN THE WILDERNESS This message introduces the book of Numbers as more than a record of censuses and wilderness travel; it is a testimony to the faithfulness of God and the danger of unbelief.

Between those two cen...
