Matthew 19:1-9


The culture does not need from the Church anger and judgment nor accommodation and compromise. The Church’s best posture is to joyfully teach and model God’s original design and intent while loving, accepting and forgiving ourselves and one another when we fall short.


I. Isn’t this much ado about nothing?


II. Why is the Church so focused on these issues?


III. Can’t we agree to disagree?


Contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints.

Jude 3 


God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator.

Romans 1:24-25


Consequently, their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.

Romans 1:26-27  


If the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle? 

I Corinthians 14:8


IV. Why are some Christians so angry and bigoted?


The goal of our instruction is love, from a pure heart, a good conscience and a sincere faith.

I Timothy 1:5


1. Extravagant love for all people.


2. Inside the Church we must be clear about Christian identity.


How do we become more distinctive? We do it by quietly building good marriages, families, churches and friendships. We don’t need better words, we need better demonstrations of God’s best design!
