In "Sex and Relationships," Ps. Scott Wrigley presents a biblical vision of sex, exploring God’s original design and intention for intimacy. Using scriptures like 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 and Matthew 5:27-28, Ps. Scott contrasts the kingdom perspective on sex with the world’s distorted view. He addresses vital issues such as fornication, the redemption of sex, and the impact of pornography on relationships. This sermon encourages us to align our sexuality with God’s truth, offering a path to healing and redemption in our lives.
Key questions covered in the sermon include: What does it mean to glorify God through our sex? What is God’s intention for sex, and how has the world gotten it wrong? How can we experience redemption in and through our sexuality?

Join Rev. Michael Hands as he explores what it means to glorify God with our gender in "Gender and the Body." This sermon unpacks how being created in God’s image shapes our understanding of gender while celebrating the distinct qualities of each. With insights from Genesis 1:27 and Matthew 19:4-6, we’ll examine cultural and biblical definitions of gender, understanding why gender is significant yet not the core of our identity.
Michael also addresses key questions such as: What does it mean for us to honour God with our gender? Where should we find our identity? Additionally, he approaches complex topics like gender dysphoria with both truth and compassion, calling us to a biblical view of gender that supports the physical and spiritual dimensions of our lives.
