About This Message

This Week’s Question – Addiction

  • What if we truly love God but struggle with an addiction?
  • Is there grace for repeated sin despite how much we hate committing it?

    • John 3:16-18 (NLT)
    • Matthew 18:21-22

Addiction Defined

  • Don’t feed the addiction … STARVE IT!

    • 1 Corinthians 6:12 NIV

  • Addiction defined : we don’t control it, it controls us
  • Denial: it’s not in control of me.

5 Types of Addiction

  • Type 1: Socially-acceptable addictions (food, caffeine, social media, career)
  • Type 2: Socially-NOT-acceptable (alcohol, drugs)
  • Type 3: Generational (passed on to you, you’ll pass it to your kids)
  • Type 4: Limiting (gambling, social media, eating)
  • Type 5: Life-destroying

The Man & The Tree

  • Isaiah 44:14-15, 20-22
  • Luke 4:18

“He breaks the power of canceled sin, He sets the prisoner free; His blood can make the foulest clean, His blood availed for me”

—Charles Wesley, “O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing”

Practical Ways In Finding Freedom from Addiction

1. Admit you have a problem

  • Jeremiah 3:13
  • James 5:16

2. Get away from the world

  • Galatians 5:16-17 NIV
  • Matthew 17:17-18
  • Mark 9: 28

3. Get filled with God

4. Get the right tribe (community)

    • Proverbs 28:13 (NIV)

  • Confirmed addicts vs. Religious fakes vs. Recovering Addicts

5. Depend on God’s Power

  • 2 Corinthians 10:4-6 (ESV)
  • Galatians 5:1

6. Know Jesus loves addicts

  • Matthew 11:19
  • Romans 7:21
  • Romans 8:1
