What does God have to say about our sexuality. As we have entered what our culture has deemed Pride Month, on Wednesday at Real Life Community Church I talked about God's design for Holy Sexuality. If we as a church do not address God's creative intent for our sexuality, those within the church will be discipled by the world. We've been commissioned and empowered to make disciples of Jesus - and that includes following God's good design for human sexuality.

Watch the sermon below. Additionally, you can download the message as an eBook in both PDF and EPUB (for ebook readers) formats below.

Here's an excerpt, "The fall has brought with it all sorts of problems. But your body isn’t one of them. We, you and I, are still image bearers of the Creator. Our male and female bodies still matter. Sin has marred our understanding of our bodies and our identity within them. Sin brings death. Brought death. Within that death lies the possibility of separation of our created physical design with our created psychological design. But that separation isn’t God’s design.
God’s desire for us as image-bearers is for wholeness within our created design as either male or female as witnessed by our physical created self. Jesus came to bring life not just to our spirit, but even to our mortal bodies, to restore what sin has separated - even our understanding of our own sexuality and gender.
Our bodies testify to our creative design and God’s creative intent. We are male or female. Our bodies tell us. And God says that’s good."
