Spring Seminar
Our sex-saturated culture has taken sexuality from a blessing given by God and made it into an idol to be worshipped and distorted. Christians experience the results of this transformation in many ways, and believers often feel unequipped to deal with these challenges in their own lives, or in the lives of others. In this one-day seminar, we will be developing a biblical understanding of sexuality, as well as examining specific topics on how to counsel those struggling with pornography, homosexuality, and lack of intimacy in marriage. Come learn how the grace of God in the gospel powerfully changes how we view our own sexuality and gives us the power to once again put this blessing in its proper place.
