In the third installment of the "Vices" series at Heart o' the Lakes Church, Pastor Cyle Young tackles the topic of addiction — and not just the kind you might expect. Drawing from Galatians 5, 1 Corinthians 6, Romans 6, and 1 Peter 5, he shows that addiction goes far beyond drugs and alcohol to encompass anything that gains control over our lives: envy, anger, sports, comfort, food, and more. Pastor Cyle introduces a practical three-part filter for decision-making: Is it lawful? Is it helpful? Will it dominate me? The sermon features two powerful testimonies. Angela Van Etten shares her decade-long struggle with alcohol addiction and her journey to three years of sobriety through the church's 12-step program and the power of the Holy Spirit. Sarah Walters recounts her ten-year battle with cocaine and alcohol — a descent that led to divorce, despair, and near destruction — before a single prayer removed her cravings and God began restoring her marriage, her family, and her purpose. Now three years sober, she's pursuing a clinical social work degree to help other addicts find God. The core message: addiction promises relief but eventually demands control. What we keep obeying becomes what we serve. But freedom starts when secrecy ends — and bondage does not get the final word. Jesus does.
