In this message from Matthew 5, Pastor Andrew continues “The Heart of the Matter” by dealing with Jesus’ teaching on adultery. He explains that God’s standard goes far beyond outward behavior: lustful looking and fantasizing are heart-level adultery that God sees, even when no physical act occurs. Drawing from Matthew 5:27–30, James 1, Proverbs, Job, and Psalms, he shows how unchecked lust progresses from the eyes to the heart to the body, leading to broken marriages and homes. Pastor Andrew urges believers to treat this sin with urgency, cut off stumbling blocks (including unguarded technology and careless boundaries), seek help, and walk in the Spirit so Christ can give real victory.
