1 Corinthians 6:12-20 | Let's Talk About Sex

Slides:
Slide: Gen. 2:24 For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. 25 And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.

Slide: Eph. 5:31 FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND SHALL BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH. 32 This mystery is great; but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church.

Slide: We were designed with sex in mind.

Slide: The standard for “good” sex is the intimacy and unity seen in our relationship with the Lord demonstrated exclusively in the relationship between husband and wife.

Slide: Justification 1: The “everyone is doing it” argument.

Slide: Paul’s answer: Christian freedom is not a license to sin.

Slide: Justification 2: The “I can’t help myself” argument.

Slide: Rom. 6:12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts, 13 and do not go on presenting the members of your body to sin [as] instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members [as] instruments of righteousness to God. 14 For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace.

Slide: Paul’s answer: Sex is not a bodily need. If you have no self-control, you’re not saved.

Slide: Justification 3: The “my body, my rights” argument.

Slide: Paul’s answer: Your sexual morality greatly affects your relationship with God.

Slide: Justification 4: The “I could be doing a lot worse” argument.

Slide: Paul’s answer: Every part of you is holy and belongs to the Lord.

Slide: Psa. 32:1 How blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered! 2 How blessed is the man to whom the LORD does not impute iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit! 3 When I kept silent [about my sin,] my body wasted away Through my groaning all day long. 4 For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; My vitality was drained away [as] with the fever heat of summer. Selah. 5 I acknowledged my sin to You, And my iniquity I did not hide; I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the LORD"; And You forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah.
