Gathering 246: “Does the Bible do sex?”— Sex and Guilt // Service of Worship // Rev. Tony Minear, Ph.D.

People are dealing with sexual guilt and we don’t talk about it. Religion has set us up for it. When it comes to premarital sex, religion has forgotten that biology always wins. Take a look at society and culture today, marriage is more and more often being postponed to a person’s mid 30’s. If sex is to be reserved for marriage, how does a person navigate the sexual impulses that are a biological reality? 

Join us today as Pastor Tony continues his new sermon series: “Does the Bible do sex?” This week, he focuses on “Sex and Guilt.” Sexual guilt perpetuates and fosters dysfunction for countless numbers of couples. The church is amenable to talking about the ills of society (injustice, poverty, racism, etc.), but not this issue. Why? Listen and discover how we, the church, can raise the sexual ethic and overcome the stigma of talking frankly and honestly about human sexuality. There is a different way to experience religion, and in particular Christianity, when we commit to focusing on the values and principles of love.
