God's Grace for an Imperfect Church | Due Benevolence - Season 4, Episode 71
from Eastland Baptist Messages · host Benjamin Siens
Following up on the discussion of immorality in the culture, Pastor Dorrell turns to 1 Corinthians 7:1-9 to address the sanctity and potential pitfalls within marriage. He unpacks the Apostle Paul’s direct instructions regarding physical intimacy, explaining that it is a God-given gift meant exclusively for the marital covenant. This sermon confronts the common but unbiblical extremes of either worldly indulgence or a rigid, joyless abstinence. Pastor Dorrell challenges married couples to see intimacy not as a weapon or bargaining chip, but as a mutual, joyful responsibility and a selfless gift that protects the union from temptation and strengthens the bond of becoming "one flesh" in a way that honors God's design.Eastland is a Place to BelongEastland Baptist Church is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
