[1707.84 --> 1709.32] that's what jesus wants to do in your life |
[1709.32 --> 1712.22] and as you open your heart |
[1712.22 --> 1712.92] and your life |
[1712.92 --> 1714.20] and you submit to him |
[1714.20 --> 1715.30] he will come in |
[1715.30 --> 1716.28] gently tenderly |
[1716.28 --> 1717.32] and powerfully |
[1717.32 --> 1718.82] renew you from the inside out |
[1718.82 --> 1719.84] in every area of life |
[1719.84 --> 1721.12] including your sexuality |
[1721.12 --> 1725.94] i'm convinced that one of the ways |
[1725.94 --> 1727.02] that we as a church |
[1727.02 --> 1728.28] will be good news to our city |
[1728.28 --> 1730.58] is in the area of our sexual healing |
[1730.58 --> 1732.94] in fact nancy piercey |
[1732.94 --> 1734.78] who wrote a stunner of a book |
[1734.78 --> 1735.88] called love thy body |
[1735.88 --> 1737.44] this is what she writes |
[1737.44 --> 1738.78] i'm inviting you to ask |
[1738.78 --> 1739.72] if you really believe this |
[1739.72 --> 1740.20] she writes |
[1740.20 --> 1742.66] what christians do with their sexuality |
[1742.66 --> 1746.44] is one of the most important testimonies |
[1746.44 --> 1747.92] they give to the surrounding world |
[1747.92 --> 1749.02] do you believe that |
[1749.02 --> 1751.16] it's not just a private deal |
[1751.16 --> 1753.76] christianity as we live out our sexual lives |
[1753.76 --> 1754.38] and our marriages |
[1754.38 --> 1754.96] and our singleness |
[1754.96 --> 1755.72] and all the rest |
[1755.72 --> 1757.00] we are on display |
[1757.00 --> 1757.98] for a watching world |
[1757.98 --> 1758.78] for a different way |
[1758.78 --> 1759.74] and a different story |
[1759.74 --> 1760.54] for our sexuality |
[1760.54 --> 1763.02] and as jonathan touched on last week |
[1763.02 --> 1763.84] very movingly |
[1763.84 --> 1764.58] at the end of his sermon |
[1764.58 --> 1765.86] he said you could trace |
[1765.86 --> 1767.08] the movement of the church |
[1767.08 --> 1769.18] by the way the church of jesus christ |
[1769.18 --> 1770.96] pushed back against the idolatry |
[1770.96 --> 1771.60] of sexuality |
[1771.60 --> 1773.24] whether it's the neglect of children |
[1773.24 --> 1774.26] for born out of wedlock |
[1774.26 --> 1775.04] or exploitation |
[1775.04 --> 1775.86] and all the rest |
[1775.86 --> 1776.88] the church was the place |
[1776.88 --> 1778.06] where they honored |
[1778.06 --> 1779.36] god's design for marriage |
[1779.36 --> 1780.04] and sexuality |
[1780.04 --> 1781.14] and it would led to |
[1781.14 --> 1781.78] sorry |
[1781.78 --> 1783.48] led to blessing in the city |
[1783.48 --> 1786.22] may that be true of our city |
[1786.22 --> 1789.48] one of the earliest criticisms |
[1789.48 --> 1790.64] i've ever read of the church |
[1790.64 --> 1791.84] it comes from what's called |
[1791.84 --> 1793.12] the epistle of diognetus |
[1793.12 --> 1794.18] in 300 a.d |
[1794.18 --> 1795.06] and i'll read it for you |
[1795.06 --> 1796.32] i think this is such a zinger |
[1796.32 --> 1797.76] it's like a compliment in disguise |
[1797.76 --> 1799.50] this is what uh |
[1799.50 --> 1800.80] this epistle says |
[1800.80 --> 1801.88] talking about christians |
[1801.88 --> 1802.16] it says |
[1802.16 --> 1803.24] they marry |
[1803.24 --> 1805.08] as do all others |
[1805.08 --> 1806.28] those christians |
[1806.28 --> 1807.08] they beget children |
[1807.08 --> 1808.12] but they do not destroy |
[1808.12 --> 1808.66] their offspring |
[1808.66 --> 1809.98] and here's the line i love |
[1809.98 --> 1811.34] they have a common table |
[1811.34 --> 1812.92] but not a common bed |
[1812.92 --> 1815.30] they are hospitable |
[1815.30 --> 1816.36] they break bread with you |
[1816.36 --> 1817.00] they invite people |
[1817.00 --> 1817.66] into their homes |
[1817.66 --> 1818.60] but they honor |
[1818.60 --> 1819.46] what god's design |
[1819.46 --> 1820.48] for marriage is |
[1820.48 --> 1822.74] let's be that church |
[1822.74 --> 1826.04] i want to finish |
[1826.04 --> 1827.78] by sharing as a prayer |
[1827.78 --> 1829.20] something that |
[1829.20 --> 1830.30] mary lee bauma shared |
[1830.30 --> 1831.40] at an all of life interview |
[1831.40 --> 1832.14] a few months ago |
[1832.14 --> 1833.18] maybe you were there |
[1833.18 --> 1833.82] maybe you weren't |
[1833.82 --> 1834.44] a few months ago |
[1834.44 --> 1835.80] we invited a pastor |
[1835.80 --> 1836.56] colleague of mine |
[1836.56 --> 1837.34] her name is mary lee |
[1837.34 --> 1839.14] she would describe herself |
[1839.14 --> 1840.24] as same sex attracted |
[1840.24 --> 1841.22] as gay |
[1841.22 --> 1842.44] and she believed |
