#Scripture #Sex This series is for everyone, whether you're married, a young person, a single adult. The Bible has a lot to say about the topic of sex and sexuality and frankly, we need to talk about it. The one place where we don't talk about these issues the most is church but the reality is, the culture is talking about it all the time. And I think in the church, we've gotten to the point that we're so scared of saying the wrong thing, that we'd rather not say anything at all and in that fear, we've pulled back and we're allowing ourselves and especially the next generation to be discipled in the ideology of the world on these issues. A BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE OF SEX & SEXUALITY Venture Christian Church Tim Lundy, Senior Pastor February 13, 2022 • As Christians, our approach to sex and gender must be marked by grace and truth. (John 1:14; 8:31-32) • All humans, as designed by God, are sexual beings. (Gen. 1:27-28) • Sex, as designed by God, is very good. (Gen. 1:31a) • The human body is very important to God. (Gen. 2:7-8; 2:21-22) • All of us were made for relationships and companionship. (Gen. 2:18) • God’s design for sex is a man and a woman in a lifetime commitment of marriage. (Gen. 2:24-25; Mark 10:6-9) • Human sexuality was impacted and distorted by sin. (Gen. 3:7-11) • Redemption in Christ brings forgiveness and healing to every area of our lives, including our sexuality. (1 Cor. 6:9-11) • God’s good purposes for sex are still fully in place today. 1. Sex is a celebration of the marriage covenant. (Matt. 19:5-6; 1 Cor. 6:16) 2. Sex is for pleasure between husband and wife. (Prov. 5:18-19) 3. Sex is for the procreation of children. (Gen. 4:1; Psalm 127:3) 4. Sex is a celebration of God’s loyal love to us. (Eph. 5:31:32) • As Christians, our bodies are not our own to do with as we please. (1 Cor. 6:18-20) • A husband and wife have sexual responsibilities to each other in marriage. (1 Cor. 7:3-6) • A committed relationship and/or cohabitation are not the same as marriage in God’s design. (1 Cor. 7:1-2, 36) • According to God’s good design, sex will be surpassed in the New Creation. (Matt. 22:29-30; Rev. 21:3-5) RESOURCES: Mama Bear Apologetics Guide to Sexuality by Hillary Morgan Ferrar Sex and the Supremacy of Christ edited by John Piper & Justin Taylor Copyright © Tim Lundy To download the sermon notes and discussion questions click here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wfQJXFKBlaxBfkDm8ekObuozeCJg9NnW/view Need Prayer?
