What Most Christians Get Wrong About Gay Christians | Pastor Jason Mayfield

Is homosexuality a sin? Can you be a gay Christian? Pastor Jason Mayfield takes on one of the most charged questions in the culture — clearly, honestly, and without ducking the hard parts. Starting in Romans 1, this message walks through every passage where the Bible addresses homosexuality (all six of them), why the word "homosexual" didn't appear in print until 1946, and what the doctrines of justification, sanctification, and glorification actually mean for anyone walking out their faith. Along the way it answers the bigger question hiding underneath: does God hate gay people and send them to hell? The answer might not be what either side expects. Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, part of the LGBT community, or just curious where this church stands — you're invited to listen all the way to the end. The gospel is for all people. Key passages: Romans 1.26-27, Leviticus 18.22, Leviticus 20.13, 1 Corinthians 6.9-10, 1 Timothy 1.9-10, Jude 7, Matthew 19.4, Romans 6.23, Romans 3.21-24, James 2.17-24, Psalm 119.160, Romans 10.13 Looking for a church in Mobile, AL?
