Sexual by Design

Do you find it difficult to openly discuss issues on sexual identity, discretion, and morality from God’s point of view? It seems that to an increasing degree the culture would prefer Christians remain silent on the topic of sex and instead embrace all variations of sexuality… promiscuity, sex before marriage, sex with others while married, and sex with the same sex.

God created us to be sexual beings. But He has a plan for our sexuality—a beautiful blueprint that will allow for us to experience sex in its fullness. Is it possible for us to share God’s truth with a culture that has moved beyond how God defines us personally and sexually?

Sexual issues are not going to fade away and many people are struggling in this area of their lives. In this series, Stuart and Jill talk openly on the subject of sex and how to address issues with truth and love according to God’s design.

If we want to think seriously about living as Christians in this world, we have to address the issue of sex. What Scripture teaches and what society accepts as normal aren't even close.

In this message, Stuart begins in Genesis and shares what God, the inventor of sex, has to say on the subject. And it's more complex than you might think. The question becomes: Will we as believers embrace God's purposeful and strategic design for sex, or continue to pursue worldly sexual pleasure?

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 6:12-6:20

Society encourages us to satisfy our sexual needs, but Scripture says our spiritual needs are of utmost importance. How does our spirituality apply to our sexuality? God established sex as a divine creation—its origins dating back to the Garden of Eden.

Can we morally hold true to our sexuality and enjoy it as God's divine creation? It can be a challenging line to walk, but Stuart shows how God's truth can guide us in reclaiming our bodies as He created them to be.

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 6:12-6:20

Has your perception of sexuality been warped? Our culture feeds us an idolized image of sex that is dramatically distant from God's intent. But just as the world is explicit about sex, so is God's Word! He clearly outlines His intent for the sexual experience.

During His ministry, Jesus demonstrated perfect love to all kinds of sinful people—including women known for their sexual sin. Jill points to Christ's encounters with these women, to reveal Jesus' standard for sexual behavior and of His grace when we fall. Can we accept His truth about sex and live according to His grace?
