Sexual Sin

Intro: What is your favorite holiday of the year and why?

Study

  1. Heb 4:12, 1 Tim 3:16-17 The Bible is Gods perfect word, it is our absolute on every subject and our only way to determine what is right and wrong.
    1. 1 Peter 4:3-5 Our culture today is very liberal, the mindset today is is do whatever makes you feel good, and don’t judge anyone.
      1. Matt 5:28 The Bible however describes any form of sexual lust as sin, this includes pornography, fornication and homosexuality.
      2. 1 Cor 6:18, Rom 1:29 Sex before marriage (Fornication) is sin, God created sex to be within the marriage for intimacy and procreation.
    2. Rom 1:27, Lev 18:22-23 Homosexuality is a perversion of Gods order, it is not an alternative lifestyle, rather it is a lifestyle of sexual sin.
  2. 1 John 1:9, 2 Cor 5:17 The good news of the gospel is that when we repent from sexual sin, as with all sin, God will completely forgive us and restore us.
    1. 1 Tim 4:1 The world today is pressuring the church to lower its standards, ignore the bible and accept fornication and homosexuality.
      1. Eph 4:15 God desires that we minister in truth and love, truth on what is right and wrong, and Gods amazing love and forgiveness of sin.
      2. 1 Cor 10:13 In order to remain strong after we have been forgiven, we need to get out of bad relationships, and remove the negative influences.
    2. 1 Tim 4:12 The reason God gives us these standards is not because he is trying to keep something from us, rather he wants to protect us from the hurt and pain caused by these sins, and give us truly blessed lives.

Discussion

  1. How do the standards of the world today differ from what the Bible says is right and wrong in regards to sexual sin?
  2. What are some of the negative influences today that are causing many youth and young adults to lower their standards sexually?
  3. How should we as Christians hold to the truth of Gods word, and show Gods love as we minister to those who struggle with homosexuality?
  4. Does anyone here have a testimony of how God delivered you out of some type of sexual sin?

End: Pray for any here who are struggling with sexual sin of any kind, pray for those who want to repent, then take prayer requests.
