The Biblical Solution to Gender Confusion

Your point to ponder: Gender confusion has a solution: seeing our ________ ordained sexuality as a __________ to the world.

Genesis 1:26-27:
Our ______________ is a reflection of God’s ____________.

v.28: We are blessed to be ____________ and ______________.

v.29-31: You need to know as men and women/boys and girls you are made __________ __________!

Matthew19:4-6:
Jesus _______________ our _______________ sexuality.

Resources referred to: Rightnow Media series “Identity and Sexuality” , Andrew T. Walker’s talk is Responding to the transgender debate. The other series is the Gender Dilemma.

Both of these would be good for personal equipping, the first for small groups, as the sessions are about 1 hour, the second for Sunday school, sessions are about 8 minutes.

Let me know if these are helpful and if more sermons are needed on this topic.
