Romans 1:26-27 | Part 2

In this follow-up sermon on homosexuality, Pastor Blaine moves from biblical exposition to practical application, addressing same-sex attraction within the church and the cultural debate over "conversion therapy." From James 1, he clarifies that temptation itself is not sin, but desires must not be indulged in the mind or body, since true identity is found in Christ, not in sexual desires or labels. He warns against cultural pressure that redefines sin and insists Christians must reject false premises, fight sinful thoughts, and call people to repentance and faith in Jesus. On conversion therapy, he exposes how the term is misused to lump together abusive practices with simple biblical counseling, and he urges believers to define terms, reject false narratives, and continue preaching the gospel invitation to new life in Christ. The message closes with Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman in John 4, showing how Christians should engage others: with intentionality, clarity, truth, and compassion—offering living water and true freedom found only in Christ.
