We are part of a culture that spends more money each year on pornography than country music, rock music, jazz music, classical music, Broadway plays, and ballet combined. Well, today we’re exposing the dirty little secret called pornography. It is an open and honest discussion to bring awareness about the reality of pornography use and abuse that is rampant in the church while bringing hope to those who are struggling with pornography addictions/strongholds. For some it is ludicrous to link three Xs with "church," and for others it is long overdue. The one undeniable truth that can't be ignored is the blatant push for all things sexual in our society. Porn Sunday seeks to drive the conversation about pornography into our churches, families and lives. This Sunday’s service brings healing to those sitting in churches who are caught up in pornography.

Singleness
May 25, 2014 • Luther Ramsey
Single individuals struggle with many dangerous assumptions and unique challenges. The single adult small group from oneChurch tackles many of these issues by sharing from their own lives and talking about specific people and Bible passages that spoke to them in their struggles. What happens when you make a partner in life your everything? Is sex restricted because young people are not mature enough to handle it, or is there more to it? Why doesn’t God help me make my life the way I envision it? Why am I still single? Why am I still at this job? Big Idea: God is a good Father who only gives good gifts to His children.

Beautiful Ugly
May 11, 2014 • Kim Edmondson • Romans 12:2, Isaiah 43:1, Song of Songs 4:7
Few people are comfortable in the skin God gave them. The voices of Hollywood in the latest fashions meet us daily in the grocery line bombarding us with messages of success and power telling us what we should be. Will we listen to those voices, or will we listen to our Father, who loves us, created us in His image, and gifted us with purpose? In him and him alone do we find approval and learn what it means to truly be beautiful.
