Table Talk | April 5-6

1. God’s will for our sexuality is clear and includes avoiding sexual immorality.

2. God’s design for sexuality is within marriage between one man and one woman for life.

3. Living out God’s will for sexuality requires the power of the Holy Spirit, not just willpower.

4. God’s commands are rooted in love, not restriction.

5. God’s grace forgives the past, and His Spirit empowers the future.

1. The sermon mentioned that many people struggle with knowing God’s will. In what areas of your life do you find it challenging to discern God’s will? How does this compare to the clarity of God’s will regarding sexuality?

2. Pastor Todd emphasized that we can’t live according to our old way of life sexually and honor God’s design at the same time. How does this challenge our cultural views on sexuality?

3. The sermon highlighted that sexual sin affects not just individuals, but the whole Christian community. How have you seen this play out in your own experiences or observations?

4. Pastor Todd stated, “The desire for intimacy that every one of us has was always meant to lead you to God.” How does this perspective change the way we view our longings for intimacy?

5. Discuss the quote: “Purity does not mean crushing our desires. It means directing them in the right place.” How can we practically redirect our desires in a God-honoring way?

6. The sermon emphasized the role of the Holy Spirit in transforming our “want-to’s.” Share an area of your life where you’ve experienced God changing your desires over time.

5. Study: Commit to studying more of what Scripture says about God’s design for sexuality. Consider reading resources that dive deeper into this topic from a biblical perspective.
