Being Pure in an Unpure World | Dear Church | Shoreline Church | Pastor Rob Koke

*We live in a world where sexual temptation is everywhere—but God’s call to live with purity hasn’t changed.** In this message, we dive into 1 Thessalonians 4 and unpack what it means to honor God with our bodies, pursue holiness, and resist the lies that lust tries to sell us. It’s not just about saying “no” to something harmful—it’s about saying “yes” to something greater.

Did you give your life to Jesus? We’re celebrating with you! You’re probably wondering what’s next, and we’re here to help. Start here:
