“Sexual Ethics 2023 Part 2”
CHAIRMAN : CECIL MAR
SPEAKER : PASTOR IAIN DAVIS
SCRIPTURES : 1 COR. 10:12–13
Sermon Notes:
- Temptation is not sin, but it leads to sin so we should avoid obvious temptations
- When we are tempted God will provide a way out, calling a friend, reading his word, are we looking for the exit, or trying to overcome temptation on our own?
Discussion Questions:
- How would you describe our culture’s view of sex? What are some of the main factors that create the sexual climate of our culture?
- How can we as a group help each other to be sexually moral, and support one another caught in temptation?
