In Matthew 5:27–32, Jesus shows that sexual sin is not only about outward actions but about the desires and condition of the heart, revealing that He cares deeply about bringing us into true freedom rather than shame. Lust is destructive because it seeks the pleasure and intimacy of sex without the covenant, love, and self-giving it was designed for, while God created sex as a beautiful expression of trust, vulnerability, and faithfulness within marriage. Jesus calls us to take sin seriously by removing what leads us away from Him, and whether we are struggling with lust, sexual brokenness, or marriage difficulties, our hope is found in running to Jesus, who alone satisfies our deepest desire to be fully known and loved.

At Frontline we scatter into small groups that meet in homes at various times throughout the week. Our small groups aim to embody the faithful presence of Jesus in the lives of our friends and neighbors over meals, prayers, and shared stories. Small groups emphasize three crucial aspects of the church as we scatter: we care for one another, we grow together as Jesus’ disciples, and we live on mission together.
