A Biblical Response to Today’s Most Divisive Issues By Chip Ingram Culture Shock A Biblical Response to Today’s Most Divisive Issues By Chip Ingram

The Search for Truth About Sex

Review of Part 1 Myth 1 – God is anti-sex Truth 1 – God is so pro-sex He designed it to provide.. Physical pleasure (Gen. 1:26-27) Procreation (Gen. 1:27) Relational intimacy (Gen. 2:18-24) Spiritual object lessons (Eph. 5:31-32)

Review of Part 1 Myth 2 – Christians’ sex lives and views are dull, boring & “out of touch” Truth 2 – The Scriptures command God’s people to be downright erotic in their marital love

Review of Part 1 Myth 3 – As long as people love each other; sex is okay with God Truth 3 – The Bible prohibits all sexual relationships outside marriage.

The Search for Truth About Sex Part 2 – Play Session 4 Video Here

Myth 4 Only a cosmic killjoy, totally out of touch with today’s culture and people’s needs, would prohibit all sex outside of marriage.

Truth 4 God prohibits all immoral behavior outside of marriage because of His desire to… Protect Us (Rom. 6:23) Provide for Us (Jer. 29:11)

Myth 5 Everyone needs to sow their wild oats and experience sexuality before they settle down in a long-term relationship.

Truth 5 Sexual sins have a uniquely devastating impact on people’s lives because… It’s sin against yourself (1 Cor. 6:16-20) It’s sin whose roots are in spiritual rebellion and idolatry (Eph. 5:3-7) When sexual practice is opposed to what God says – you worship yourself (Eph. 5:5)

Myth 6 It’s too late for me; sexual sin is so powerful, nothing can loosen its grip on my life.

Truth 6 Christ died to pay for the penalty of our sin and break it’s power in our lives.

Table Talk What kind of guardrails can we as believers put into our lives so that, as Paul says, “there won’t be even a “hint” of sexual immorality”? Considering the 6 truths about sexuality, how can this be communicated to society as an alternative to the myths?
