Pastor Chris Smith

Job 31:1-4

**A Distortion of the Truth** explores how pornography, lust, and sexual brokenness corrupt God’s good design for sexuality and distort both the mind and the heart. Using Job’s covenant with his eyes as a starting point, the sermon exposes the immense harm of pornography—its exploitation, its addictive neurological effects, its dehumanization of people, and its cultural normalization. It explains how temptation follows a predictable cycle and how the enemy uses shame and secrecy to keep people trapped. Yet the message offers hope: God provides a way out, renews the mind, and reshapes the brain through prayer, Scripture, confession, and Christian community. Believers are called to flee sexual immorality, pursue righteousness, and allow God’s Spirit to transform them so they can live in freedom and walk in truth.
