1 Cor. 6:18-20Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
The fear of the Lord is not something God asks of us to make life harder, but something He invites us into because it leads to blessing. SHARE HOW GOD IS USING THIS PODCAST!Support the show

Welcome Graham fam! We are so glad you could watch Sunday morning online with us. TITLE Marriage: Purity INTRODUCTION In this final message of our Marriage series, we tackle a topic that is often avoided in the church but vital to our spiritual health: sexual purity. From singleness to dating and into the covenant of marriage, God's Word provides a clear “blanket” of protection over our bodies and our hearts. We explore how to move away from the “lustful passions” of the world and instead embrace intimacy as the holy, God-given gift it was always intended to be. SCRIPTURE 1 Corinthians 6:12-20 Ephesians 5:3-4 Matthew 5:27-28 Proverbs 5:18-19 1 Corinthians 7:3-5 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 SERMON POINTS Talk about it! Don’t let the world be the primary teacher for your children; we must bring God's truth into the conversation. Know what the Word says! Scripture calls us to flee from sexual immorality and honor God with our bodies, which are temples of the Holy Spirit. Make it a priority! Within the safety of marriage, intimacy is a gift from God that requires intentionality and self-control to protect the relationship from temptation. CLOSING God's will for your life is holiness. While the world tries to define us by our desires, we are called to be controlled by the Holy Spirit. Whether you are seeking to start fresh today or looking to strengthen your marriage covenant, remember that your body belongs to the Lord. Invite Him to lead you in purity and honor.

What does the Bible teach about sexual purity in a confused culture? In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins explains God's design for sexuality from Scripture and why purity is not merely behavioral but deeply rooted in the heart. Drawing from Genesis 1–2, Matthew 5, Romans 12, Galatians 5, Hebrews 10, and Psalm 51, this episode addresses sexual temptation, cultural confusion, and the hope of real change through Christ. Listeners are reminded that purity is not only saying no to sin, but saying yes to Christ through repentance, renewal of the mind, Spirit-empowered obedience, and life in the local church. This episode offers biblical clarity, pastoral encouragement, and practical help for believers seeking to walk in holiness and truth.

Proverbs 5:1-14 March 4, 2026 PM.Wisdom is skill for living in God's morally ordered world. In this message, Pastor Lorch teaches us how to respond wisely to sexual immorality. First, the author of Proverbs shows us the painful consequences of sexual sin, then later he highlights the joys of marital intimacy. This message addresses the first of those concerns by teaching us to guard ourselves from sinful sensuality. We do this for four reasons: (1) It is enticing. (2) It is ensnaring. (3) It brings regret. (4) It is destructive. We then learn two practical applications. First, remove yourself from situations in which you could be tempted. Do not be careless. Second, discipline yourself to love godly wisdom by being in God's word and loving God's people so you will listen to them when they give good advice.
What the Bible Teaches About Sexual Purity in a Confused Culture Show: Anchored in the Word with Dave Jenkins Author: Dave Jenkins Date: March 5, 2026 Show Summary Question: What does the Bible teach about sexual purity in a confused culture? In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins answers an urgent question for our time: what does Scripture teach about sexual purity when the culture is constantly redefining sexuality and calling purity outdated or unloving? God's Word does not shift with the times. God's design is good, intentional, and for our flourishing. Sexual sin is not merely a cultural issue—it is a heart issue. It affects our conscience, our relationships, our work, and our walk with Christ. But God's Word gives clarity, hope, and direction, and Christ offers real forgiveness and lasting renewal. Listen Watch --> Key Scriptures Genesis 1:27 Genesis 2:24 Ephesians 5:25–32 Matthew 5:27–28 Romans 12:2 Galatians 5:16 1 John 1:9 Hebrews 10:24–25 Psalm 51:10 Episode Highlights God created humanity male and female—sexual identity is received from God, not invented (Genesis 1:27). God designed sexuality for covenant marriage—exclusive, permanent, and worshipful (Genesis 2:24). Purity is not only behavior—it begins in the heart (Matthew 5:27–28). Temptation lies and sin overpromises—but only Christ satisfies. Four biblical strategies to pursue purity through Word, Spirit, repentance, and community. Full Article God's Word Does Not Shift with Culture We live in a world where the meaning of sexuality is constantly shifting, where purity is labeled outdated, and where boundaries are rejected. But God's Word does not shift with our culture. God's design is good. It is intentional, and it is for our flourishing. Sexual Sin Is a Heart Issue Sexual sin is not merely a cultural issue—it is a heart issue. It affects our conscience, our relationships, our work, and our walk with Christ. And many today struggle in silence—trapped, ashamed, numb, or confused. But the Word of God gives clarity, hope, and direction. God's Design for Sexuality and Identity Genesis 1:27 teaches that God created man in His own image—male and female He created them. Sexual identity is not invented; it is received from God as part of His created order. Genesis 2:24 adds that a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. God designed sexuality to be covenant-based, exclusive, permanent, life-giving, and worshipful—because marriage reflects Christ and His church (Ephesians 5:25–32). Marriage is not merely relational; it is deeply theological. Purity Begins in the Heart Sexual purity is not only avoiding sinful behavior—it is devotion to Christ in body and heart. Jesus teaches in Matthew 5:27–28 that lust is adultery of the heart. Purity begins inwardly and works outward into obedience, shaping thoughts, desires, intentions, and behaviors. Scripture uses the category of sexual immorality to describe any sexual expression outside the covenant of marriage. This includes pornography, lust, fornication, adultery, sexual fantasy, and anything that distorts God's design. Purity is not simply avoiding sin—it is walking in holiness. Why We Need Biblical Clarity in the Battle The world normalizes impurity, our sinful nature is drawn to it, and the enemy tempts us with false promises. Temptation lies, and sin overpromises but never satisfies. Only Christ gives true peace, joy, and fulfillment. We do not fight in our own strength—we fight with the truth of God's Word. Four Biblical Strategies for Pursuing Purity Renew your mind with the Word of God (Romans 12:2). Purity begins with a renewed way of thinking—thinking God's thoughts after Him. Walk by the Spirit (Galatians 5:16). Purity is not achieved through willpower, but through dependence on the Spirit of God. Confess and repent quickly (1 John 1:9). Confession is not defeat—it is the path to restoration and cleansing. Pursue accountability and community (Hebrews 10:24–25). Isolation fuels temptation, but life in the local church strengthens obedience. Hope for the Guilty and Ashamed Maybe you feel guilty, convicted, discouraged, or ashamed. Hear this clearly: God does not shame His children. He restores them. Psalm 51:10 says, “Create in me a clean heart, O God.” God specializes in redemption—He washes, renews, restores, strengthens, and changes desires. Christ Is Better Sexual purity is not just saying no to sin—it is saying yes to Christ, because Christ is better. Christ satisfies, Christ renews, and Christ heals. Takeaways & Reflection Questions Where have you allowed cultural assumptions to shape your thinking more than Scripture? In what ways do you see temptation promising comfort or satisfaction that only Christ can give? What practical step can you take today to renew your mind with God's Word (Romans 12:2)? Who in your local church can you invite into honest accountability and prayer? If you're carrying shame, how does Psalm 51:10 reframe your hope in God's restoring grace?

Candace and Madi sit down for a heartfelt conversation about purity culture and their personal experiences. From listener questions about managing work stress as a new mom to a candid discussion about what it really means to live a life of purity, this episode is a combo of vulnerability and practical wisdom. Madi opens up about her personal relationship journey during high school and college, sharing how her early mindset was rooted in fear and reputation rather than a genuine love for God. She reflects on how experiencing God's grace completely transformed the way she views purity, not as a list of rules, but as a beautiful gift that leads to more of God's presence and a life of real freedom. She shares openly about past struggles with pornography, and how confession and accountability were key to walking in freedom. Candace brings her own perspective as someone nearly 30 years into marriage, broadening the conversation beyond sexual purity to include thinking more carefully about the way we talk and think. Candace and Madi tackle the hard questions: how to have a healthy sexual relationship in marriage, how to deal with public scrutiny, and what practical steps someone can take if they want to commit or recommit to a life of purity today. Whether you are single, dating, engaged, or married, this episode is for you! It is a reminder that shame doesn't get the last word for anybody.
