This week at Beach Church, Pastor Joe Donahue delivered a powerful message on lust, pornography, and sexual addiction. Drawing from Matthew 5, he explained how Jesus’ strong words remind us that sin begins in the heart, and how unchecked lust dehumanizes others and traps us in shame. The good news is that Jesus doesn’t just call us to cut sin off—He invites us into freedom, forgiveness, and a new identity in Him.
In this message, Pastor Joe Donahue shares a personal story that challenges us to reflect on how we respond to anger. Looking at Matthew 5:21–26, we discover why Jesus connects anger with the same judgment as murder, and why reconciliation matters deeply to God. True worship flows from humble, reconciled hearts that choose grace over pride.
In this powerful message, Associate Pastor Marty Parker unpacks Jesus’ teaching on marriage from Matthew 5 and 19. Marriage is not a subscription you cancel but a covenant you keep — one that reflects Christ’s love for His church. With honesty, Scripture, and personal testimony, Pastor Marty encourages us to endure hard seasons, give sacrificially, and celebrate the gift of covenant love.
