Sermon on October 12, 2025
From Poison to Pure Delight: Glorify God in Your Body
Time: Afternoon
Texts: Proverbs 5, 1 Corinthians 6:12–20, Heidelberg Catechism: Lord's Day 41
The seventh commandment calls us to purity, joy and covenantal bliss. Society seeks to take what is serious and sacred and make it casual. Sexual sin like adultery promises sweetness but turns to wormwood in the stomach. It is the path of pain, bitterness and ruin. Instead, drink from the well of your own cistern. Be refreshed in her. She is a gift from God. This oneness points us to our union with Christ. Jesus gives himself up for his bride (the Church) to present her to himself pure and blameless. This is the pathway of joy.
