The War Within: The Lust of the Flesh

Nov 30, 2025    Corey Saxton

In this powerful sermon from Pastor Corey, the heart of a teenager named David facing the giant Goliath becomes a stirring metaphor for the daily spiritual battles we all face. With compelling urgency, Pastor Corey explores how victory over temptation and sin requires intentionally "feeding the spirit" through daily prayer, worship and Scripture, while "starving the flesh" through discipline and self-control. Through vivid illustrations - from GPS navigation to candy cravings - he drives home how God provides escape routes from temptation, but we must choose to take them. The message culminates in an inspiring call for believers to crucify their old nature and walk in the Spirit's power, reminding us that though the flesh is weak, God's strength working through our willing spirits can overcome any giant we face. This timely word challenges us to examine what we're feeding spiritually and make the hard but rewarding choice to pursue lasting transformation.
