TOPIC: Dangers Of Sexual Sin
MEMORISE: But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; Ephesians 5:3
READ: Ephesians 5:3-4
3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Matthew 18:1-20; Exodus 9-10
MESSAGE:
One area of life the flesh is slamming many of God’s children is sex. Your teenage years have ushered you into moments where your body screams out for you to disobey God but the Bible does not justify sexual sin at all, irrespective of the raging of emotions and hormones. This is why you must stay away from sin because it could result in grave consequences such as sexually transmitted diseases, unwanted pregnancy, eternal damnation and a broken relationship with God.
In today’s text, Paul admonishes the Christians at Ephesus to stay away from all forms of uncleanness and fornication. Rather, he advised that they should spend more time giving thanks to God. By inference, when you often give quality time to God, you will not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
In order not to fall into the sin of sexual immorality, you need to be mindful of what goes into your heart. Pray daily, ask the Holy Spirit to strengthen you in this battle and don’t put yourself in situations where you would be tempted to fornicate.
KEY POINT:
Your body is the Lord’s temple; reverence God by staying pure.
Hymn: I Need Thee Every Hour
I need Thee every hour
Most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like Thine
Can peace afford.
Chorus
I need Thee, Oh, I need Thee;
Ev’ry hour I need Thee!
Oh, bless me now my Saviour;
I come to thee!
I need thee every hour,
Stay thou near by;
Temptations lose their power
When thou art nigh.
I need thee every hour
In joy or pain;
Come quickly and abide
Or life is vain.
I need Thee every hour
Teach me Thy will;
And Thy rich promises
In me fulfill.
I need Thee every hour,
Most Holy one;
Oh, make me Thine indeed,
Thou blessed Son!
