Session #2: Talking about Sexuality within the Church Brent Bounds, PhD

Session Overview The Goodness of Sex Family How do we do this?

The Goodness of Sex “Many people have the idea that the Bible is somehow disapproving of sex, as though it was something we discovered behind God’s back and without his complete approval……Sex is God’s idea.” - Sam Alberry Is God Anti-Gay?

The Goodness of Sex -Start conversations early -Stay consistent with boundaries and information -Model healthy relationships -Live in process

Family Unique identity Different expectations Limits of responsibility

No aspect of sexuality should influence objectivity around the truth claims of Christianity – If Jesus was raised from the dead, then we have to deal with his teachings and the Bible

It’s not really about sex….

How do we do this? Speak Truth Stay in relationship Trust the work of the Holy Spirit
