What does the Bible say about the origins of our gender? How did the subject of gender identity go from something practically nobody was talking about 7-8 years ago to a mainstream cultural issue today? We'll talk about these questions and the answers provided by Romans 1 and the past few centuries of secular philosophy and intellectualism.
SMALL GROUP QUESTIONS:
What stood out to you most from the sermon. Why?
Read Romans 1:18-32 out loud as a group. Take breaks and invite group members to share what sticks out to them from the text. Do they have any questions?
Jeff shared that the human heart becomes calibrated to recognize truth when we welcome truth that is revealed to us. Conversely, if we reject truth our heart can become uncalibrated, and we can struggle to discern truth from lies. Have you ever observed this reality in your own life or the lives of others? Tell the group about it.
Are there any truths about God and the Christian life that the modern church often suppresses?
What role does gratitude play in maintaining a right relationship with God, as suggested in Romans 1:21?
How can we balance speaking biblical truth about gender and sexuality with showing love and compassion to those struggling with these issues?
