Family Under Attack – Attack on His Design – Homosexuality (08-10)

They are the people we work with; they are friends and family. Many are living lives of quiet desperation hiding a secret from the world. Some have come out of the closet and all are people who God loves. Ron Moore talks about the struggles of the homosexual lifestyle and the design for biblically approved sexual expression.

-----------------------------------

FIVE THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY:  

1. The real struggle of homosexuality is not cultural; it’s personal. 
2. Homosexuality is not God’s design. 
3. Homosexuality is sin. 
4. The temptation of homosexuality can be tamed and the sin of homosexuality can be redeemed. 
5. We must respond to those caught in sin as Jesus did.

Family Under Attack – Attack on the Structure – Relationships (07-10)

There are a lot of ways our culture tries to justify the practice of cohabitation/shaking-up--a couple living together before marriage. It's a "trial run"--a way of identifying problems before they arise in the context of marriage.

Today, Ron Moore takes us to God's Word to show how these excuses miss the point of marriage entirely. We'll learn the three essential ingredients to a loving relationship and the consequences that arise when any of those ingredients are left out.

Five Biblical Truths About Divorce:  

1. Marriage is about God (or marriage is bigger than you). 

• The ultimate purpose of marriage is to bring glory to God—together—in a way you can’t do by yourself. 

2. God made your spouse for you (or God made you for each other) .
3. God hates divorce. (or divorce is not God’s plan). 

• God brought you together and joined you together. 
• God expects you to keep your vows. 
• He knows what divorce does to children. 

4. Scripture gives two reasons for divorce. 

• Adultery 
• Abandonment 

5. I’ve been divorced. Now what? 

• Attempt to reconcile if at all possible. 
• Determine what you contributed to the divorce. 
• Seek God’s forgiveness and accept his grace. 
• Seek forgiveness from former spouse for your contribution in the marriage failure. 
• Don’t jump into another relationship on the rebound. 
• When/if you remarry, make a commitment to do it right…to make it last.

Family Under Attack – Divorce in Real Life – Part 1 (05 of 10)

Any way you look at it, divorce is painful. It cuts deeply into everyone involved. Ron Moore begins a two-part examination of those wounds in a conversation with Gretchen. Though her marriage eventually ended when her husband filed for divorce, we'll hear first-hand how God's grace was able to sustain Gretchen and her children and even prompt her to seek reconciliation when everyone else was advising separation.

Family Under Attack - Attack on the Foundation – Divorce (04 of 10)

You've likely heard the statistic that half of all marriages end in divorce. And while that's sad enough, the fact that Christian marriages fare no better is tragic. Ron Moore looks to the Bible to find five truths regarding divorce that are sure to help strengthen your marriage. Plus, we'll find hope and encouragement for those who have already been through a divorce.

Family Under Attack - Biblical Sexuality (03 of 10)

Physical intimacy is an essential part of a fulfilling marriage. But handled incorrectly, the results can be devastating. In this frank discussion, Ron Moore shares with us God's plan for sex within marriage. We'll be reminded of the power of this intense and joyful personal connection.

 

Five essential elements of biblical sexuality.

1 - Sex is God’s idea.

2 - Sex is designed for a man and woman within the covenant of marriage. 

• Consummation without connection or commitment is animalistic. 
• Connection and consummation without commitment is called immorality. 
• Connection and commitment without consummation leads to frustration and temptation.

3 - God wired men and women differently. 

The Primary Differences Between Men and Women Regarding Sensuality and Sexuality:  

• Men primarily give intimacy during foreplay and receive intimacy during intercourse. 
• Women experience intimacy through touching, sharing, hugging, and communicating. 
• Men’s sexual ignitions are wired to visual stimulation. 
• Women’s sexual ignitions are wired to touch and relationship. 
• Men have a biological need for regular sexual release (every 48-72 hours). 
• Women’s sexual desire is tied to relationship and oneness.

4 - Training about sex is a family’s responsibility. You cannot impart what you do not possess.

5 - Husbands and wives are responsible to meet each other’s sexual needs.

 

Family Under Attack - God’s Design for Family (02 of 10)

It's not hard to scan the news and find ways our culture, and even government, is waging war against biblical values. But, as Ron Moore discusses, the greatest threat to marriages today is found right in our own homes. Ron looks at two key passages in the Bible to help us discover the five essential elements of successful marriages.

(Genesis 2:20-24, Ephesians 5:22-30)

 

5 Essential Element of a successful marriage 

1 - Leave Parents - Requires new commitments 

2 - United to each other - Committed 

3 - One flesh 

1. 1. Spiritual Oneness
   2. Physical Oneness 
   3. Mental Oneness 
   4. Emotional Oneness 
   5. Missional Oneness 

4 - Husband must be the servant leader 

1. 1. Sacrificial love  
   2. Sanctifying love
   3. Nourishing love 
   4. Satisfying love 

5 - Wife needs to be a spiritual partner 

...submission does not mean that the wife 

1.  ... is inferior in anyway 
2. … loses her identity 
3. … is a passive participant 

Family Under Attack - The Attack (01 of 10)

Definitions of words and concepts often change over time. But when those concepts are found in the Bible, it's the believer's responsibility to cling to God's definitions and not our own. Ron Moore begins a new series looking at God's plan for marriage and the family. We'll see that living God-honoring lives begins at home.
