What Does the Bible Say About Homosexuality?

Series: Tough Questions
Series Order: 06
Location: Grace Bible Church Southwood
The Bible clearly lays out that Christ has paid the penalty for the sin of homosexuality (like every other sin) and also frees one from its power (like every other sin). Unfortunately, confusion and hostility towards this particular sin struggle has often left many struggling with it feeling unaccepted by self-righteous Christians. So we take a look at what homosexuality is, what causes it, whether its sinful, and how one begins to change and find freedom from it. (NOTE: This talk deals with very mature topics and is not appropriate for children under the age of 12.)

Series: Tough Questions
Series Order: 04
Location: Grace Bible Church Southwood
God intended sex to be a wholistic exchange of all of life between two intimately known and deeply committed people within marriage. God intended sex to provide a picture of Him, procreation, and pleasure and yet it was to require great self-sacrifice and self-control. In a culture that has become obsessed with the pleasure that sex provides they have pursued an experience of sex that is so far different than what God intended and it has left us more hurting, used, and lonely than ever before.

Scripture: 1 Peter 1:3-9
Series: Tough Questions
Series Order: 03
Location: Grace Bible Church Southwood
This difficult question arises not in classrooms and textbooks but bedside in hospitals, graveside at funerals, and in the arms of those hurting. In those places, one grasps that suffering is predictable (inevitable and even a privilege) and purposeful (not pointless and random) to highlight our hope, change our character, intensify our intimacy with the Lord, and extend our empathy.

Objections regarding whether the Bible was preserved accurately over time, originally recorded with historical accuracy, and scientifically plausible necessitate that we have an explanation that maintains our assurance in the inerrant and inspired Word of God.

Series: Tough Questions
Series Order: 01
Location: Grace Bible Church Southwood
While many hold that absolute truth claims create a religious exclusivity that is both dangerous and untrue, there is an absolute necessity for externally revealed truth due to the flawed and finite nature of man who neither can intuit truth within nor respond appropriately to truth seen in Creation. As a result, we have a responsibility to know His spoken word better and to proclaim it boldly.

Samson will realize in the end that the only strength against sin is in his weakness.
