Before answering these questions, take some time to read the passage from the sermon together or on your own.
What did this sermon tell us about God?
What did this sermon tell us about us as people?
What did you hear in this sermon that applied the most to your own life?
Jesus doesn't just want to change what we look at. He wants to change how we see. How does lust distort the way we see and value other people? What would it practically look like to move from seeing, desiring, and taking to seeing, honoring, and loving?
Jesus calls us to take radical action against sin. Why do you think we're often reluctant to give up things that feed our sinful desires? Is there something in your life—not necessarily related to lust—that God may be calling you to surrender in order to pursue holiness?
Romans 6:14 tells us that sin no longer has to rule over us. How does understanding our new identity in Christ change the way we approach struggles with temptation and sin? What would it look like to genuinely believe that victory is possible through the power of Jesus?
