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

Study

  1. Mark 16:15, Psalms 119:105 In order for us to reach the world, we must correctly understand what the word of God says, so that we can preach the truth of God’s Word to the world.
    1. Isaiah 5:20 Today, we live in a society in many nations around the world that celebrates and embraces the sin and perversion of homosexuality.
      1. 2 Cor 4:4 We are surrounded by people, blinded by sin, who are calling evil good and good evil. Perversion is celebrated, and the standards of God’s Word are labeled as “hate speech”.
      2. 1 Tim 4:1-2 Churches and pastors today face immense pressure to abandon Biblical
        absolutes and embrace the doctrine of demons of the inclusiveness of the perversions and sins that are directly condemned in the Bible.
    2. 2 Cor 6:17 Christian youth and young adults are also under immense pressure today to conform to society and embrace and celebrate homosexuality, but what does the Bible say about it?
  2. Lev 18:22, 20:13, 1 Cor 6:9-10 Homosexuality is directly condemned in the Bible as a sin and perversion, that will destroy your life and send you to Hell.
    1. Gen 2:24, Eph 5:31 Today we also see many countries legalizing gay marriage, however the Bible directly clarifies that marriage is God’s institution between a man and a woman; anything else is sin and perversion and is in direct defiance of God’s order.
      1. Gen 1:27,Mark 10:6 Another perversion that is now embraced today is gender confusion and gender changing. The Bible clearly tells us that it is God who determines if someone is born a male or female and His determination is final. This is a demonic perversion of God’s design.
      2. Deut 22:5 The Bible also talks about transvestites, and describes this sin as yet another perversion that must be repented of and avoided.
    2. Ezekiel 18:32, Acts 3:19 The church should not condone these sins, rather the church needs to warn people against sin, call people to repentance, and lovingly help them come out of these sinful lifestyles so they can find freedom and salvation in Christ! We are called to #Reachtheworld!
