God’s Plan for Marriage and Sex

Genesis 2:18-25

Our state legislators have placed a marriage amendment on our ballot this election day. We encourage all voters to vote YES to this amendment to protect marriage in our society and state!

I.  Sexuality in the Creation

A. "A helper suitable for him"

B. "Male and female He created them"

C. Rom. 1:26-27

II.  What the Old Testament says about homosexuality

D. Lev. 18:22,27

E. Gen. 19:1-7; II Peter 2:6-10

F. Ez. 16:49-50, 58

G. Is. 3:8-9

III.  What the New Testament says about homosexuality

H. I Cor. 6:9-10, Rom. 1:26-27

I. I Tim. 1:8-10

J. God wants to "heal our land" through "sound teaching" and godly living

We do not hate homosexuals --- we hate sin. We preach the truth in love --- love for God and love for people who need God and His Son, Jesus. All sinners need to repent and obey the gospel plan of salvation. God is able to save to the uttermost!
