Intro
What does the Bible say about the LGBTQ issue?
Wifi Router
Appears to be working, but doesn’t give any internet
World normalizes LGBTQ, but it’s damaged
What does the Bible say about the LGBTQ issue?
Body
What LGBTQ stands for
We need a good foundation: Made in the image of God
Is God sexual since humans are sexual?
Is God anti sex or anti passion?
Sex created for image bearers to enjoy the special union of a man and a woman—an unlikely union—into ONE.
Why?
Reflects who God is—Trinity
Sexuality in humanity was designed to reflect the unbreakable unity of God.
Father enjoys the Son, Son -> Father, Spirit -> Father and Son
Since God is good, everything that is the MOST LIKE HIM is GOOD.
What are the most painful things in life?
Divorce—breaking of union, promises, insecurity
Betrayal—mutual promise of security
LGBTQ?
Adultery—their love wasn’t real, they found something better
Distortion of what is good.
Drop your phone—it works, but is malfunctional
Deceit—truth isn’t good enough, so I’ll
How did it come to this?
When it’s what you feel vs. what is true, what will you choose?
Wrong thinking = meaningless values.
Heart changed by world = foolish heart
Worship of creature or creation = impurity, defilement, and “anything goes”
Rom 1:
Rom 1:
Worship of creation = feelings define truth
God sees this? “Fine, you’ll see”
Just because something feels good… is it good?
Smelling gasoline.
Meth.
Even hate and putting someone down.
Stealing.
Feel good?
Sex meant between one man and one woman in a holy marriage dedicated to God.
Not dedicated to God
Not a life-long marriage
Doesn’t have to be in marriage—sleeping around
Doesn’t have to be with one exclusive person of the opposite sex
Doesn’t have to be a person of the opposite sex—LGBTQ
Bible makes mention many times in OT and NT
Lev
Another NT Reference with a twist:
LGBTQ is just like any type of sin.
An action motivated by thoughts or emotions that don’t align with what God wants
Jesus can redeem, heal, and forgive!
No promise someone won’t be tempted here on earth.
Promise of freedom, purity, life, etc.
Questions

Is love a choice, according to the world?
Is love a choice, according to the Bible?
()
Why do you think Divorce happens?
Is it because someone didn’t find the right partner, or because one or both parties are not willing to obey Scripture and “love” one another?
( — same passage previously mentioned)
Is love a choice, according to the world?
Is love a choice, according to the Bible?
()
Since the world doesn’t trust Scripture, where does it draw the line in regards to sexuality—at what point does any type of sexual expression become wrong?
(examples: polygamy, bestiality, pedophilia.
This topic is a hard one depending on the age; feel free to be discreet or skip if needed)
How can do you think we can share the Gospel with someone who is LGBTQ?
( and )
Look at .

If you’re not sure what to feel and you can’t talk about it, I invite you to Question the LGBT movement.
World says explore and figure it out.
I say don’t mistreat your phone!
Don’t throw it without it’s protective casing.
I say don’t mistreat your phone!
Don’t throw it without it’s protective casing.
Don’t need to explore any further
Question the LGBT movement—is it really good for you?
Bible says no. World says yes.
Who will you trust when your feelings don’t align?
Prepare to pay the price.
Texas is conservative—Most world is not
Let us respond in grace with truth
Prayer—Grace from God to obey, grace to share the Gospel, grace to finish strong.
