INTRODUCTION
As our culture shapes a narrative around the issues of gender and sexuality, we are confronted with difficult conversations and decisions more frequently. As identity issues pervade, the Church is called to Know Truth and Live Truth in a world desperately needing Christ’s love.
The 8-week Gender, Sexuality & The Church series will dive deep into humanity’s Divine Design, the consequences of disordering that design, the historical context around gender & sexuality, plus present-day realities, and our response, as Christians, to those who are hurting – our neighbors, friends, families, and ourselves.
