In this message from the “Respectable Sins” series, the focus is on fleeing from sexual immorality in a culture (and church) that often quietly tolerates it. Working from 1 Corinthians 6, Deacon Brock Blair exposes the seriousness of sexual sin, shows how it destroys lives and dishonors Christ, and then points believers to the hope of the gospel: “Such were some of you… but you were washed.”
Key themes:
- Sexual immorality is any sexual activity outside the covenant of marriage between one man and one woman.
- The Bible consistently warns that sexual sin is uniquely destructive—to our body, soul, relationships, and witness.
- Christians are no longer defined by their past: in Christ we have been washed, sanctified, and justified.
- Fleeing sexual sin is not just running from temptation, but running to Christ and to the means of grace (church, confession, scripture).
- Believers must cultivate vigilance, accountability, and repentance, refusing to “dabble” in what Christ died to free us from.

Questions to consider:
- Where have I begun to “accept” or minimize sexual sin in my life, home, or media habits?
- What concrete steps do I need to take to flee temptation and pursue holiness (confession, accountability, limits, etc.)?
- How does remembering that I have been “bought with a price” change the way I view and use my body?
