Is Sexual Sin Destroying Our Churches? (Part 9)
Part 9
Dr. Michael Youssef addresses the critical issue of sexual sin in modern Christianity and provides Biblical guidance for living a godly life in a godless world. Key Themes Examined: The contrast between the 1st century Corinthian church and today’s 21st century church The dangers of rationalizing sexual sin The believer’s body as a temple of the Holy Spirit God’s design for sexuality within marriage Paul’s instructions on marriage and singleness Key Points Explained: Dr. Youssef emphasizes how sexual sin perverts God’s plan for the body. He explains that for Christians, the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit – a place where God dwells and is to be honored. This understanding should guide believers’ choices regarding sexual behavior, reserving sexual intimacy for heterosexual marriage. The importance of mutual agreement and respect within Christian marriages is emphasized using the analogy of Christ as the bridegroom and the church as the bride to illustrate how husbands should initiate love, mercy, and grace while wives should respond positively. He stresses that manipulation and intimidation have no place in a godly marriage. The sermon encourages married and single Christians to focus on Christ’s return rather than earthly discontentment. It also reminds those with the gift of celibacy of the unique opportunities they have for service and ministry.
