Sermon Summary: This sermon explores the seventh commandment, "You shall not commit adultery," and Jesus' interpretation of it in Matthew 5. The pastor emphasizes that Jesus takes the commandment beyond physical acts to include lustful thoughts. The sermon discusses the prevalence of sexual sin in society and the church, urging listeners to deal with the "weed seeds" of lust before they grow into destructive behaviors. It calls for yielding to God's wisdom and finding satisfaction in Christ to overcome sexual temptation.

Key Points:

  • Jesus expands the commandment against adultery to include lustful thoughts
  • Dealing with "weed seeds" of sin before they surface is crucial
  • Sexual sin and infidelity are prevalent issues in society and the church
  • God's design for sexuality is within faithful, monogamous marriage
  • Yielding to God and finding satisfaction in Christ is key to overcoming lust
