When Sex Kills Love | Ephesians 5:1-6 | Pastor Trent Griffith

In today’s sermon, Pastor Trent Griffith continues in the series "The Center of it All" going verse by verse through the book of Ephesians. In the message "When Sex Kills Love". God designed sex to be a powerful, bonding force within the covenant of marriage, but when it is used outside of His design, it erodes the very love it was meant to strengthen. Ephesians 5:1-7 calls believers to walk in love the way Christ loved us, which is self-sacrificing and others-focused rather than self-serving. Sexual immorality, impurity, and even the casual normalizing of sexual sin through humor all work against the kind of love God intends for us. Sexual sin is also connected to idolatry, placing a created thing above the Creator. The people we walk with matter deeply, because community either pulls us toward purity or away from it. No matter what the past holds, there is grace, restoration, and a fresh start available through Christ.
