SUM 11: Service and Notes: Day 22

1 Thessalonians 4:1-8; Matthew 5:27-30

God wants us to live in holiness, not lustful passion.

What is holiness? What is sanctification?

What is lust and how is it different from action? Is lust as sinful as action?

According to Scripture, what does sexual immorality consist of?

Read 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8. Is this a list of “do nots”? What does it mean that

God wants us to remain holy and sanctified?

For God to want us to remain holy and sanctified, and to live without sexual
immorality, what does that say about how much He loves us and how important
we are to Him?

Biblical Passage: 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8

Outline:

Discussion: God created our bodies. God created sex. What are practical ways
in which we prevent sex from being sin in our lives? Guys, by refraining from
sex before marriage, how are you showing love for your girlfriend and future
wife? Ladies, by refraining from sex before marriage, how are you showing
respect for your boyfriend and future husband? Consider this statement: By
choosing sexual activity before marriage, you are choosing self rather than
God. Is the Lord your God? Or is sex your god?

Scripture Memory: 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5
