Sermon Summary - In this series, we are mining through the New Testament letters written by the apostles as they obeyed Jesus’s commission and did this work of proclaiming the gospel and making disciples, and starting churches. We want to see— what is the way of Jesus? What does it look like for faith in the gospel to truly change the way we live? What does it look like for the gospel to make us new? In this sermon, we look at the subject of sexuality. The bible has a lot to say about our sexuality. We look at God’s true and good design for sexuality and discuss what it looks like for us as married or single people to align our lives with his design.
