New Wednesday Night Series


We are beginning a new series tomorrow night! I will be updating this website each week in order to keep you informed of what we will be learning about. My prayer is that this will serve as talking points between you and your teen(s). I also wanted to fill you in on the reasoning behind teaching this series.
Our teens are bombarded constantly by the world, in everything from media to peers. Not all of this is bad. Some of it is. Typically, topics such as sex, dating, marriage, gender, divorce, and modesty are presented the wrong way. We will study these topics from a biblical perspective, because the only alternative is the non-biblical perspective, which our youth already receive daily. Not to worry, this will not be crass or inappropriate! This series will lay down a basic framework of what the Bible teaches, providing a way for our youth to answer the culture of our day as a Christian.
Our first week, as you can see above, is intended to discuss and develop a Christian worldview of human sexuality. The definition that we will work with is this: A worldview is a comprehensive view of life though which we think, understand, and judge, and which determines our approach to life and meaning. In examining the church at Corinth, we will conclude that human sexuality should be 3 things:
1. Committed - your soul and body are one, and what you do with one includes the other.
2. Complementary - two souls become one, as God designed it, within marriage.
3. Consecrated - we must always realize that our body belongs to God, and God alone.
I hope and pray that as we journey together through this series, a clear view of what the Bible teaches will influence the lives and behavior of our youth.
As always, if you have any questions, please let me know. cflora@hebronbaptist.org or 859.391.9103.
