Ashley Daugherty Chapel - Purity Revival

Pastor Ashley Daugherty Oct.21, 2025 Victory College Chapel The Call to Purity • Purity is not about perfection but about direction—a continual pursuit of holiness and alignment with God’s will. • Sexual purity is worth fighting for; it’s a lifelong journey empowered by God’s grace. • God’s design for sex is a covenant within marriage, marked by intimacy, unity, and trust—not convenience or casual pleasure. ⸻ Grace, Not Shame • Temptation is not sin; Jesus Himself was tempted but did not sin. • The enemy uses shame to paralyze believers, but conviction from the Holy Spirit invites repentance and freedom. • God’s grace redeems past failures—your past doesn’t define your future. ⸻ Practical Encouragement • Be vocal about victories in purity to inspire others and cast a vision for a generation seeking God’s best. • Purity involves the heart, mind, and body—what we watch, think, and dwell on. • Set healthy boundaries and seek accountability; purity is sustained through community and God’s strength. ⸻ Truth vs. Culture • Culture says “follow your feelings,” but God says “guard your heart.” • The world treats sex casually, but believers are called to uphold God’s sacred standard. • Revival isn’t just about worship or miracles—it’s also about a revival of purity. ⸻ Inclusion and Compassion • The church must be a safe place for people struggling with temptation—including same-sex attraction—without affirming sin but offering love and grace. • Temptation does not disqualify anyone; confession and repentance bring restoration. ⸻ Final Challenge • Keep showing up on the battlefield of purity daily—mind, body, and soul. • Victory College students are called to live set-apart lives and support one another through prayer and honesty. • God doesn’t ask “what took you so long?”—He always welcomes His children with open arms. ⸻
