Short Summary / Outline

Pastor Phil continues a sober, pastoral treatment of Jesus’ warning about lust. This session moves from the eye to the hand and calls believers to decisive, heart-centered holiness.


1. Watch Your Hands (Matthew 5:30) — the hand follows the heart; radical action may be required to avoid eternal loss.

2. The Heart Is the Root — lust is rooted in a corrupt heart; the cure is a new heart given by Christ.

3. Practical Steps to Purity — identify idols, set immediate boundaries, seek accountability, and treasure Christ above all.

4. Pastoral Challenge — prefer temporary loss to eternal ruin and pursue holiness empowered by grace.
