God's Design for Sexuality (Explore B5)

Exploring God's Design for Sexuality and its Expression

Like many Christians, you might be searching for answers to the forceful challenges of secular opinion towards sexuality. What is the Christian framework that the church as the Body ought to be reinforcing, as well as applying to our own lives and our children?

Human sexuality and its expression is a central part of God’s design for His creation – something intended to bring joy, blessing and life. However, in a world of shifting ‘norms’, there is much confusion about this vital subject and this course aims to bring clarity from the perspective of the traditional Christian understanding of the Bible.

This course will explore the foundation for human sexuality as God intended it to be. It will look at the importance and significance of the biblical covenant of marriage, the power of boundaries and will explain how sexual expression outside of this is sinful and has consequences not just on our lives, but all those connected to us.

The good news is that damaged sexuality may be restored to God’s good order and so the course will also share how, through Jesus Christ, we can find bondage breaking forgiveness and cleansing for sexual sin and learn how to walk in purity.
