The Sensual Fool: When Pleasure Pulls Us Off Course | Proverbs Series
Description
This week at Christ the King Anglican Church, we continue our summer series exploring God’s wisdom in Proverbs—not just as ancient advice, but as a living path toward what is good, true, beautiful, and whole.
This message focuses on the Sensual Fool—someone who drifts from wisdom by following appetite, impulse, and escape. Drawing from Proverbs 7 and other Scriptures, we reflect on how the pursuit of comfort, affirmation, and pleasure can slowly pull us away from the life God desires for us.
These patterns often feel normal—even harmless. But beneath the surface are deeper aches: wounded desires, addictive drift, and quiet attempts to stay in control.
The gospel offers more than just restraint—it offers rescue. Not to deny us joy, but to lead us to a better feast.
Reflection questions:
What’s one lesser love dulling your desire for God?
Where are you saying yes to impulse instead of intimacy with Christ?
