A Biblical View of Addiction (with Dr. Jeff Warren and Michael Molthan)

Park Cities Baptist Church Sermons

In this message, we delve into the universal struggle with sin and addiction, drawing parallels between habitual sin and clinical addiction. The passage from James 1:12-15 reminds us of the blessing of perseverance, the source of temptation, and the consequences of unchecked desires. We're challenged to recognize our own 'go-to sins' and understand that addiction is not just about substances, but anything that becomes our source instead of God. The story of transformation shared illustrates how God's love can break the cycle of addiction and bring redemption even in the darkest circumstances. We're encouraged to live in the present, serve others, and turn to Christ as the ultimate solution to our struggles.
