Pornography and lust are no longer hidden struggles—they are some of the most common and destructive temptations facing people today. Studies show the average child is exposed to pornography by age 12, and millions of adults quietly wrestle with shame, secrecy, and addiction. But Scripture reminds us of this powerful truth: “God is faithful, and He will always provide a way out.” (1 Corinthians 10:13)

In this message, “Escaping the Trap,” we confront sexual temptation honestly and biblically while offering real hope for freedom through Jesus Christ. Drawing from the life of Job, who made a covenant with his eyes (Job 31:1), we learn how to think ahead, predecide righteousness, and break free from the enemy’s cycle of sin.

Jesus raised the standard when He taught that lust begins in the heart (Matthew 5:27–28), but He also offers grace, healing, and transformation. This sermon explains:

Why temptation itself is not sin—and what to do when it comes

How pornography and lust damage the mind, heart, and relationships

The devil’s temptation cycle: trigger, desire, rationalization, action, and shame

Why secrecy strengthens sin—and honesty weakens it

How to flee sexual immorality, not just fight it (1 Corinthians 6:18)

How God renews the mind and heals the heart over time (Romans 12:2)

Why pursuing a life with Jesus is the ultimate path to freedom

This message is for anyone who feels trapped, tired, ashamed, or discouraged. Whether your struggle is pornography, lust, sexual immorality, or another hidden sin, God’s grace is stronger. You were made for love, intimacy, and freedom—not counterfeit pleasure.

Don’t settle for lust. Don’t stay stuck in shame.

Freedom is possible. Healing is real. And Jesus always provides a way out.
