“Jesus in a Changing Culture”
Matthew 15:1-20

We are living in a fast-paced changing culture!
	
Matthew 15:1-20

A practice that is accepted in a culture does not determine the legitimacy of the practice!

Supreme Court Ruling
	Seems to have caused two responses: Hysteria or Celebration
	There is a third: Bring the light of Jesus in a changing culture
	
SCOTUS Ruling is extremely disappointing because…
	5 people decided for millions on a counterfeit definition of marriage
	All forms of sexual activity outside of God’s design are destructive
	Subtly, our identity is now based on our sexuality
	God-honoring same sex relationships are possible

How do we engage LGBT community?
	Understand the difference between natural desires and sinful action
	Realize that harsh judgment is destroying potential change
	Refrain from social cliches
	Remember that Godly love eclipses counterfeit love
	Point to Jesus, who brings freedom from all sexual sin
	Exercise patience and humility
	Stand for truth: Matt. 19:4-6; Lev. 18, 20; 1 Cor. 6; Rom. 1

Our God separates us from our sin!
