About this episode

Senior Pastor Chuck Angel explores Jesus' challenging words on sin and heart transformation in the first part of the series 'Jesus Said What?'.

Join Senior Pastor Chuck for our brand new series, "Jesus Said What?" This message explores Jesus’ challenging words in Matthew 5:27–30, where He calls us to deal radically with sin, not through self-harm, but by recognizing that the real battle is in the heart. While religious leaders focused on outward behavior, Jesus points to inward transformation. Lust isn’t just about desire, it reflects a deeper struggle with contentment and trusting God. We’re challenged to guard our hearts, practice restraint, and fill our lives with what honors Him. With the Holy Spirit guiding us, we learn to listen, repent when needed, and pursue a life marked by purity, because everything flows from the heart.
