Deep Dive: What does the Bible say about homosexuality | 1 Timothy 1
In the opening section of Paul’s letter to Timothy, Paul provides a list of sins that He believes are outside of God's design for life. One of the sins he lists is practicing homosexuality. Because homosexuality is a relevant and divisive topic in our culture, we think it is critical for Christians to know how to think Biblically about this topic. Join us this week as we take a deep dive into all that the Bible says on the issue and attempt to answer key questions on the subject such as: is homosexuality really a sin, how should Christians relate to those who identify as homosexual, and what if a Christian struggles with same sex attraction.
The Purpose Of The Law | 1 Timothy 1:8-17
As we established last week, the apostle Paul is writing to his protege Timothy—a young leader in the early church—instructing him how to organize and lead God’s church well. As Paul states his primary focus of his letter, he goes off on a brief rabbit trail discussing law and grace. Listen in as we discuss 1 Timothy 1:8-17 and explore the purpose of God’s law, the grace of God, and how that should shape our church.
