Teacher: David Marvin. This is the last week in our Sex By Design series!

139 // Naked and Unashamed: Sexual Intimacy by Design // Sex By Design
Teacher: David Marvin. In this message, David Marvin explores the purpose and design of sex according to God's plan. Sex is meant to be an exclusive and protected gift to be enjoyed between one man and one woman in the context of marriage. However, our culture has devalued sex, leading to pain and regret. We learn how sex has permanence and bonding power and how serving and sacrificing for our spouse leads to a deeper and more meaningful connection. Despite past mistakes, God's love and forgiveness offer hope and healing. This series, Sex By Design, will discuss how we have departed from the perfect God-given design for gender and sexuality. Parents of kids in Middle School and younger, we recommend that you use caution in letting your kids stream this series. Enjoyed the message? Rate us ⭐⭐⭐⭐️⭐ and leave a review on Apple Podcasts.

138 // God Made Them Female // Sex By Design
Teacher: David Marvin. It's week 3 of our Sex By Design series, and today we're diving into God's design of women. We're going to see the Scriptures elevate four qualities in women: they are reflectors of God's image, strong helpers, unique and distinct in their creation, and life-givers both biologically and spiritually. The Scriptures encourage women to embrace their God-given value and purpose, even when societal norms may undervalue or misrepresent them. We're also going to see the importance of mothers in bringing forth life and nurturing the next generation, both physically and spiritually, echoing the sacrificial love of Christ. This series, Sex By Design, will discuss how we have departed from the perfect God-given design for gender and sexuality. Parents of kids in Middle School and younger, we recommend that you use caution in letting your kids stream this series. Enjoyed the message? Rate us ⭐⭐⭐⭐️⭐ and leave a review on Apple Podcasts.

137 // God Made Them Male // Sex By Design
Teacher: David Marvin. This week we are discussing the importance of biblical masculinity and God's design for men. We're in the middle of an epidemic of fatherlessness, and it's all the more important to have a biblical vision for what God's man is supposed to be. David Marvin explores four truths from the creation account in Genesis, focusing on the need for men to courageously follow God's word. Jesus is presented as the ultimate model of biblical masculinity, and we also see the role of men in leading, loving, and protecting women. Lastly, God emphasizes men's responsibility to better God's world through raising godly children, excelling at work, and living for something beyond this world. We're calling men to be courageous, godly, and impactful in their lives and communities. This series, Sex By Design, will discuss how we have departed from the perfect God-given design for gender and sexuality.

Teacher: David Marvin. We live in a time when culture changes fast and can often confuse people.

This series, Sex By Design, will discuss how we have departed from the perfect God-given design for gender and sexuality. Parents of kids in Middle School and younger, we recommend that you use caution in letting your kids stream this series. Enjoyed the message? Rate us ⭐⭐⭐⭐️⭐ and leave a review on Apple Podcasts.

135 // Man vs. Wild // In Living Color
Teacher: Josh Wilhite. Continuing our In Living Color series, we find ourselves on a boat with Jesus in the middle of a raging storm. In Matthew 8:23-27, the disciples' problem was not the storm or God's apparent passivity but their fear and lack of faith. Similarly, we can find peace and connection with Christ in chaos and challenges by trusting in God's power and working in their lives. Enjoyed the message?

134 // Now You See Me // In Living Color
Teacher: Daniel Smith. In this message, Daniel Smith, our Students Director, continues our In Living Color series as we get a glimpse into the true appearance of Jesus in Luke 9:28–36. In the Transfiguration of Jesus, we see Moses and Elijah affirm Jesus' identity as the Messiah. And we see the loving-kindness of God, who verifies Jesus as the one to trust and follows through on His promises. No matter what has happened to you in this life, there's always a seat on the bus for you to trust and know the loving-kindness of God. Enjoyed the message?
