SERMON TITLE Why Not Have Sex With Anyone? – part 2
SERMON DATE 04/20/2008
SPEAKER Jeff Paschall
TEXT 1 Cor. 6
We talked about this last week… we live in a sexually supercharged society. So why not have sex with whomever you want? Typically, Christians respond without thinking very hard… But did you know, as we began to take a look at Scripture last week, the Bible actually provides cogent… reasonable… and today… you will see… extremely weighty explanations for avoiding casual sex.
TO catch us up from where we left off… instead of just thumping them over the head… telling them to “Just stop it! Paul says, “PEOPLE THINK!!! Ask yourself a few questions!” Firstly, is it constructive? “Okay, WE ARE FREE IN CHRIST!!! AND SINNING DOESN’T GET YOU UNSAVED!!! BUT DOES IT OCCUR TO YOU… FOR A MINUTE… to make moral decisions that benefit you… If not you, how about OTHERS… if not others, how about JESUS? Does Jesus’ best interest occur to you at all? AT ALL? Hmm… It doesn’t do you… others… OR JESUS… any good… and you still do it? Hmm…

SPEAKER Jeff Paschall
TEXT 1 Cor. 6
Let me begin today with a disclaimer. This message does carry a PG-13 rating. I say that tongue-in-cheek mostly because, when it comes to talking about sex in church… we typically skirt the issue. We don’t talk very directly… we deal with it hopefully as sensitively as we can… but rarely do we get specific enough where people can actually say… “Now, he’s talking straight!” Or, “Okay, that makes sense!” So, as a disclaimer… the topic is sex… and I plan on speaking very straightforwardly and pointedly… and go into detail about how God made us sexual beings… and He has something to say to us about this… so if you need to… If this seems uncomfortable to you or you’re a parent who wants to have more control over the dissemination of information to your children… no big deal… excuse yourself… download the message later and pick it apart. » Read The Rest

TEXT Selected Scripture
On rare occasion… I’ve have given people the finger. The last time I remember it… was about 3 years ago… It was mid-June… the freshness and excitement of the beginning of summer was in the air… there’s a certain predictable sort of electricity… the streets and and shopping centers come alive with students from high schools and colleges who are freshly freed from being pent up in classes for nine months.
I don’t take what happened too seriously. But I was driving down the 15 and a car full of college girls pulled up next to me on the freeway… » Read The Rest

TEXT    Selected Scripture
If you ever want to know the real answer to tough questions… ask a kid.  (Andrew, “Have you ever been to a funeral?”  “…do weddings count?”) We have a lot of questions about marriage… and, thanks to kids, now we have all of the answers.  Yeah!  Like answer to questions like, ,  “How do you decide whom to marry?”  Alan (10) “You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chip and dip coming.” Or Kristen (10) says, “No person really decides before they grow up who they’re going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you’re stuck with.”   » Read The Rest
