WHAT'S YOUR "HOWEVER"?: Lust of the Flesh

King Solomon was blessed with wisdom, wealth, and influence like no one else—however, his life was ultimately marked by compromise. In this message, we begin the series What’s Your “However?” by uncovering how even strong faith can be undermined when unchecked desires are allowed to lead the heart. Using Scripture from Genesis, 1 Kings, and 1 John, we expose Satan’s oldest lie—that sin isn’t really sin—and how it often disguises itself as something that simply feels good or seems right.

This message takes an honest look at the lust of the flesh—when appetites, pleasure, comfort, or impulse begin to rule our decisions instead of Christ. From food and rest to sex, emotion, and escapism, we’re challenged to examine what we return to for relief instead of righteousness. More than behavior modification, this message calls us to heart-level surrender, repentance, and freedom through Jesus, reminding us that while sin has consequences, grace and repentance have generational power too.
