Today’s sermon has several lists within. To aid you in following along and making application, I have listed them below.
Mat 5:27-30 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ (28) But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart. (29) If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell. (30) And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell.
Three things necessary for sin,
- Opportunity- a chance to do so,
- Availability- items needed
- Desire- a heart for sin
Serious Repenters
- Confess sin without obscurity
- Are willing to be under authority and accountability

- Their concern is to change, be free of sin, and indwelt by the Holy Spirit.
- Will be radically deliberate in deliverance
