Biblical Sexuality Under Siege: Why the Church Must Speak with Clarity and Courage
In this episode of Contending for the Word, Dave Jenkins begins a vital new series: Standing Firm in God’s Design: Biblical Clarity on Gender, Identity, and Sexuality.
As biblical sexuality comes under cultural assault, the Church must not remain silent. Dave lays a strong theological foundation for understanding gender, marriage, and sexuality from God’s Word—showing why these are not peripheral issues, but central to the gospel itself.
🔍 What You’ll Learn
- What the Bible teaches about gender and sexuality
- Why compromise on these issues undermines the gospel
