Worship Folder | Full Service Video

Outline

Hook: Have you ever been unable to make a decision because you have competing desires?

I. THE PURE IN HEART
“Purity of heart does not exclude purity of life, no more than the pureness of the fountain excludes the pureness of the stream. But is it called purity of heart, because this is the main thing in religion, and there can be no purity of life without it.” – Thomas Watson

II. THE DEADLY SIN OF LUST
"God is not a substitute for sex, as Freud thought: sex is often a substitute for God. The deepest passion of the soul is meant for God. When the true God comes, the false gods go. To conquer lust, forget about lust and love God." - Peter Kreeft

III. CORAM DEO
"They will see his face..." (Revelation 22:4).

Application: “We won’t allow ourselves to be distracted and dissipated in trivia, but we center ourselves on God" – Eugene Peterson
