Watch the entire “War and Witness” Sermon Now!
We live in a culture that says whatever you desire is right, good, and true, and it defines you. Peter explains this is not true, we must abstain from the passions of the flesh.
But how do we do this?
Pastor Kory addressed 6 practical steps to abstain from the passions of the flesh, not matter what those are!
1. Remember Your Identity
1 Peter 2:9-10
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 10 Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
2. Enlist In The War
1 Peter 2:11
Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul.
3. Minimize Temptation
Proverbs 7:6-9
For at the window of my house, I have looked out through my lattice, 7 and I have seen among the simple, I have perceived among the youths, a young man lacking sense, 8 passing along the street near her corner, taking the road to her house 9 in the twilight, in the evening, at the time of night and darkness.
4. Put on Jesus
Romans 13:14
But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.
5. Starve Your Flesh
Romans 13:14
But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.
6. Walk By The Spirit
Galatians 5:16
But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
