This past Sunday, I had the opportunity to preach at Pantego during our "Flipped" series. We have been focusing on the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus 'flips' normal, natural living for Kingdom culture.
I taught from Matthew 5:27-30 and titled it "The Flipside of Desire". The flipside of wrongly placed desire is rightly placed desire. God created us with desire so that we would need His provision and see Him as God. This God-given desire is neutral until we make a choice in where to place that desire...it can be placed by my pursuit to satisfy myself...or placed in God who does satisfy completely.
Here are 3 things that I hope will help you 'flip' wrongly placed desire for rightly placed desire:
1) We must embrace grace for the past
2) We must take decisive actions to fight temptation
3) We must truly see Jesus (who satisfies)
