Sex and Self-Control
May 28, 2023 | Hope in the DarkIn this sermon, Pastor Matt addresses the topic of sex and its place in modern culture. He discusses four significant changes in the way our society views sex: disconnected from childbearing and family, disconnected from marriage, disconnected from male-female relationships, and disconnected from love and commitment. These changes are seen as moral progress and liberation by many, but they deviate from what God teaches about healthy sexuality.
Pastor Matt then explores the Biblical teachings on sex, highlighting the call to live a sanctified and honorable life, avoiding sexual immorality, and learning to control one's own body. Biblically, sex is reserved for a marriage relationship. Living within God's design for human sexuality will yield far better results than our culture's approach to sex.
