Sex and the Bible (Sex Love Work and War 1 - Pastor Mike)

Sex will either bless you or mess with you — there's no neutral setting. In Week 1 of our new series, Sex, Love, Work and War, we open Ephesians 5 to ask what the Bible actually says about sex, and it starts somewhere surprising: not with a rule, but with who you already are in Christ.Along the way: why "just get consent" isn't producing the thriving lives it promises, what an ancient city obsessed with a fertility goddess can teach us about today's culture, and why Christians are called to bring their sexuality into the light instead of hiding it in the dark.Whether you grew up in church or have never opened a Bible, this message is for anyone who's wondered whether Christianity has anything real to say about this part of life. It does — and it starts with grace, not shame.Not local?
