How should Christians respond to pressing cultural issues around gender, like preferred pronouns, bathrooms, and gay or trans weddings? We'll apply the truth of the Scriptures practically and also look at how churches should respond to seekers who wrestle with issues like same-sex attraction and/or gender dysphoria.
SMALL GROUP QUESTIONS:
What are your thoughts on preferred pronouns? What sort of situations have you encountered around this issue? How did you handle them?
Jeff shared that attending a wedding is generally viewed as an endorsement of the celebration. Do you agree? Why or why not? How would you respond to being invited to a same-sex wedding?
How does the idea that 'God is love' (Cf. 1 John 4:8) differ from the cultural notion that 'love is God'?
Agape love means doing what is best for someone regardless of personal cost. What are some ways God has called you, personally, to show His Agape love to others in your life?
Reflect on the statement: "Their being actually loved is more important than their feeling loved." How does this challenge our typical understanding of love?
How does the promise of resurrected, perfected bodies in eternity impact how we view and deal with physical and mental struggles in this life?
