Lust (7 of 7)
Series:The 7 Deadly Sins of Family
Scott Maze
Genesis 39:3-18
Next series up for us is Abraham. This morning is one more special morning for our church for we bury a time capsule to commemorate the beginning of Cross Church's new building. Today, we arrive at the last of 7 Deadly Sins of Family. Today, I want to speak to you about the deadly sin of lust.
And just because we reserved lust for last, doesn't mean lust is least. In a 2012 survey of a little more than 500 people, lust was one of the least deadly sins of the seven, alongside pride and apathy. No matter what we may think, lust can be a powerful deadly toxin to your family. Our world is saturated in sexual freedom. Just four decades ago, many were pushing the envelope of the sexual revolution, But today there's little room to push it.
Pastoral Note: I always attempt to use verbal modesty when speaking on a sensitivity subject like sex.
I invite you to turn in your Bibles to Genesis 39 where we hear a story that could be torn from today's headlines. A young man is accused of molesting a woman and a charge like this is powerful. Set in Egypt some 3,800 years ago, the story of Joseph, the Patriarch proves powerful even to our day.
Today's Scripture
The Lord was with Joseph, and he became a successful man, and he was in the house of his Egyptian master. 3 His master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord caused all that he did to succeed in his hands. 4 So Joseph found favor in his sight and attended him, and he made him overseer of his house and put him in charge of all that he had. 5 From the time that he made him overseer in his house and over all that he had, the Lord blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; the blessing of the Lord was on all that he had, in house and field. 6 So he left all that he had in Joseph's charge, and because of him he had no concern about anything but the food he ate.
Now Joseph was handsome in form ...
