There’s a great deal of confusion today around gender and sexuality. Words like transgender, nonbinary, and gender fluid are thrown around easily, but not everyone understands them, and even fewer seem to understand their implications. Once again, followers of Jesus need to ask what God tells us about gender and sexuality so we can represent Christ today in a world filled with confusion.

At the same time, we can never forget Jesus’ command to love our neighbors. So, today we’ll explore how to balance God’s Word with love.

The result has affected every area of our lives, but nowhere has sin’s damage been more obvious than in the area of human sexuality. Today we’ll look at sin’s destructive nature that distorts and confuses God’s good gift of sexuality.
