The Gospel & Homosexuality

How does viewing the topic of homosexuality through the lens of the Gospel transform our conversations from political debates into opportunities for grace, truth, and redemption?In this sermon on 1 Corinthians 6:9–11, Lead Pastor Neil McClendon unpacks the core value of the Gospel applied to human sexuality. Pastor Neil establishes crucial foundational truths: unfulfilled desires are a universal human experience rather than an exception, identity is defined by Christ rather than fallen desires, and God’s moral standards apply equally across all sexual activity outside of heterosexual marriage.
