There’s something in you that wants control.

The Bible calls it the flesh. This sermon calls it something even more blunt… an animal.

In Exodus 21, God uses a shocking image to reveal a deeper truth about human nature. If what’s inside you is left unchecked, it doesn’t stay small. It grows. It harms. It destroys.

This message exposes:

• Why sin never stays contained

• The internal battle every believer faces

• The danger of ignoring known weaknesses

• Why guilt cannot be buried, only atoned for

• The only solution God provides

This is not a comfortable sermon. It’s a necessary one.
