God's Good Design for Gender and Sexuality, Part 1 (Genesis 1:27) | Mike Kelsey

Genesis 1:26-31 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. 13:10 - Creation: What is God's design? 20:49 - It can be helpful to distinguish between sex and gender. But it's not helpful-and more importantly, not biblical-to completely disconnect sex and gender. 21:29 - Gender should be based on God's design not our desire 22:28 - Fall: Why do we struggle? 42:48 - Redemption: How does God meet us in our struggle? 50:28 - Sanctification: How do we change? 51:59 - Restoration: What gives us hope? 53:10 - Is there anything you need to confess or any decision you need to make in light of today's message? Is there anyone you want to pray for in light of today's message? #mbc #godsgooddesign #genesis #mikekelsey #mcleanbiblechurch Resources: Bible reading plan: https://mcleanbible.org/biblereading/ Discussion guide: https://mcleanbible.org/discussiongui... www.mcleanbible.org/godsgooddesign www.mcleanbible.org/sexuality
