Relationships & Sexuality: Christians and Sex

As we continue in our Relationships & Sexuality series, we spent time on Sunday talking about Christians and sex. We are living in the success of the Sexual Revolution, but has it been liberating? Are we more free? In Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians, he makes the argument that freedom is not actually the ability to do whatever you want, but the ability to choose in line with design. This looks like the strategic loss of lesser freedoms for more important freedoms. -- Sexual sin has the ability to master you, so limiting your sexual freedom to the context of God’s design - one man, one woman, in the lifelong covenant of marriage - actually serves your best interest. In a biblical worldview, there is nothing physical that isn’t spiritual. God cares deeply about what we do with our bodies. To paraphrase Paul, your body is a temple for God - you are not your own! -- May He strengthen us to delight in our union with Him, and live in abundance as a result.
