(10:14) Given Over  – v.24
(20:44) The Great Exchange – v.25
(20:46) Shameful Lusts – v.26-27

For discussion:

Why is lust wrong and harmful?

How do we worship created things?

God made me this way – comment?

What does Jesus say about marriage?  (Mark 10:6-9)


Question time:

(27:00) A member of your close family is homosexual, how do you tell the truth to them in love?

(29:10) About desires and lust?

(33:15) Can’t connect with a person (about homosexuality) because they don’t believe in God?

(36:00) Why do you think God created our sexual desires so strong as they have created great problems for our culture?

(39:20) In the video Tim Keller was “a bit wafty” when he said sin does not send us to hell, when we know the “wages of sin is death”?

(43:00) Rom 1:27 “… and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.” What was the penalty?

(45:35) What about Sodom and Gomorrah? Why were Sodom and Gomorrah punished, Sodomy?

(47:25) Is thinking homosexual thoughts sinful?

(48:00) Is God anti-gay?

Please don’t exchange the truth of God for a lie. Whatever lie, the Father of lies sells to you and to our society. If you are watching pornography you are exchanging the truth of God for a lie. If you going against the Bibles clear teaching on sex and sexuality you are exchanging the truth of God for a lie.
 
If you worship and put before God, any created thing or being, then you are exchanging the truth of God for a lie. But if you follow Jesus you are following the Truth. He will never lie to you, he will never let you down, he will never fail you. Choose this day who you will follow – the fickle, changing standards of this world – the lie. Or the light and beauty of Christ.
