Romans 1:26-27 | Part 1

In this sermon on Romans 1:26–27, Pastor Blaine addresses Paul's teaching on dishonorable passions and how both homosexual practice among women and men violates not only God's covenant design for marriage but also His created order. He contrasts the Christian response to shame—bringing it to Christ for forgiveness—with the cultural approach of denying guilt and seeking affirmation. Blaine also answers common objections, such as the claim that Jesus never addressed homosexuality, that Paul was only condemning exploitative practices, or that same-sex desire is "natural." He shows from Scripture that God's moral law is timeless, rooted in creation, and calls everyone to repentance. The message concludes with an invitation to turn from sin, find forgiveness and new identity in Christ, and live with both courage and compassion in a culture that increasingly celebrates what Scripture calls sin.
