Seven—A Lenten Series :: 3/30/25 :: Billy Waters

Welcome to Wellspring Church!

What does it look like to bring our whole selves—especially our sexual desires—before Jesus? In this message, we continue our Lenten journey by confronting the deadly sin of lust, a sin that often carries more silence and shame than any other.

Looking at Matthew 5:27–30 and Luke 7, Pastor Billy Waters explores how Jesus speaks not only to our actions, but to the internal desires of the heart—and offers grace, freedom, and healing for those who come to Him.

📖 Key Themes in This Message:

🔹 Why lust dehumanizes others and hardens our hearts toward God

🔹 How Jesus reclaims our desires as a honing instinct for intimacy with Him

🔹 The power of confession and community in breaking cycles of shame and isolation

🔹 A vision for kingdom sexuality rooted in Christ, not cultural norms

🔹 How resisting lust begins not with willpower, but by delighting in the better joy of Jesus

Lust isn’t just about behavior—it’s about the soul’s hunger for something only God can fill. And while the enemy uses lust to isolate and destroy, Jesus invites us into restoration, renewal, and real freedom.
