Sermons on Moral Issues
Human sexuality is a beautiful gift. Marital intimacy reflects God’s love for his people (Eph. 5:31-32). This profound truth demands that we do some serious soul searching.
The Egyptians enslaved the Hebrews and ruthlessly mistreated them. After God rescued his people, he told them never to have any dealings with their former oppressors (Deut. 17:16). Paul makes a strikingly similar point in his first letter to the Corinthians.
On January 22, 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down the controversial Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion. But a growing number of Americans now think that abortion on demand is immoral. How can we persuade even more people to see abortion for what it really is?
