Introduction: Welcome to Calvary Albuquerque. We pursue the God who is passionately pursuing a lost world; we do this with one another, through worship, by the Word, to the world.

Sean McDowell: Well, I'm glad you're with me tonight. I was told the Wednesday night crowd was lively. [cheers and applause] All right, good. We're actually jumping into a pretty sensitive, pretty sensitive subject. I teach at Biola University in a graduate program in apologetics, and before that for ten years full-time I taught high school. And I'll never remember---this is at a Christian school---a student came in during lunch and he looked really troubled and bothered. He said, "Mr. McDowell, can we talk?" I said, "No. It's my lunch break. Come back . . . ." No, I didn't say that. I'm kidding. [laughter] I said, "Yeah, what's going on?" He sat down. He looked at me. He was a sophomore, so he wasn't in my class, but I had him as a freshman. And he looked at me with trouble in his eyes. He was a Christian kid.

He said, "I think I'm losing my faith." I said, "Well, what's going on?" He said, "Last night I was fishing around on the Internet and I came across this atheist website, got into a conversation with somebody, was invited on their radio show. And this national radio show host basically used me as a punching bag to raise all his challenges for an hour. I couldn't answer any of it. I don't even know if I believe this anymore." I said, "Well, take at a step back. I'm happy to help you with this." And actually what happened for the next six months, he'd come in at lunch, in the morning, during seventh period, and we'd just talk---how do we know the Bible is true? how do we know God exists? what about evolution?---and then he stopped coming.

So I went and I found him at lunch and I said, "Hey, we were having this great conversation. You stopped coming. What's going on?" He said, "You answered all my questions. I'm good to go." I thought, "Awesome. Check it up, you know, this is fantastic." Well, fast-forward two years to his senior year. We're at a retreat up in the mountains. It was outside. There's a fire and the pastor was talking about forgiveness. He let people leave, but he said, "You can stay around if you want and just pray and connect with God." Well, most students left and I see this student sitting there. So I went up to him and I noticed he was crying, but this was an intense, just troubled cry. I came up to him, I said, "Hey, what's going on? What's bothering you?"

He looked at me, he said, "Mr. McDowell, do you remember a couple of years ago when I came in and asked you these questions?" I said, "Of course." He said, "I was actually hoping you couldn't answer my questions." That took me by surprise. I said, "Why did you hope I couldn't answer them?" He looked at me, he says, "Because I think I'm gay." And then he said something to me I will never forget. He said, "I can't keep living because my life is a living hell, and I can't die because think I will go to hell." Friends, I sat there, I thought, "Oh my goodness, the trouble and despair that this seventeen-year-old young person was feeling." It hit me more than ever that so many people in the church and outside the church in our culture with same-sex attraction feel out of place. They feel rejected. They feel alienated.

And many of them feel like they're uniquely condemned by God. Proverbs 18:13 says, "If one gives an answer the before he hears, it is his folly and shame." Friends, as Christians, we've often had quick answers and sometimes simplistic ones, but on this issue we need to be willing to be compassionate and empathetic and try to understand as profoundly as we can. There's a writer by the name of Andrew Marin. And he moved his family into Boystown, Chicago. Now, why Boystown, Chicago? It was voted last year as the "Most Gay-friendly City in America," higher than San Francisco. He wanted to move his family in there to build bridges with what he described as the gay community. He said, "I want to talk about Jesus. I want to reach out to them. I want to build relationship."

So he moved his family right in there and started getting to know many people that lived there. In his book Love Is an Orientation he said this, he said: "Unless you have been sexually attracted to someone of the same sex you can never fully grasp, as a heterosexual Christian, what that means." And in reading his book he asked a few questions that I started to reflect upon and think for myself. He said, for example, "How would your life change if you had same-sex attraction?" Maybe some of you do. But for those who don't, how would your life change if you found that you had same-sex attraction? Second, how would it affect your relationships? Third, how would it affect your future? And, fourth, how would it affect your faith?

I simply ask these questions because when we try to understand, it helps us have more compassion and more empathy for those who have same-sex attraction. Now, why pick on this issue, right? I mean, as soon as I'm on a radio show or as soon as I meet somebody and they find out I wrote a book on this, the first question is: "Well, why are you picking on this issue, aren't all sins equal?" Right? Isn't that what we tend to think on this issue: "Aren't all sins equal?" Christians are picking this one and beating people up over it. Well, I wrote a book a few years ago called Is God Just a Human Invention? And it was a response to a lot of the New Atheist critiques of Christianity. And Christians were reading it and I thought, "How can I get atheists and skeptics to read it and have conversations about it?"

So I called up the largest skeptical group of Orange County where I live in Southern California. I said: "My name is Sean McDowell. I wrote this book. I'd be happy to come to your group, just sit in the hot seat for a couple hours, bring everybody a free copy of the book, and just answer whatever questions you'd like to ask a Christian." You know, I don't know about you, but that actually sounds like a lot of fun to me. [laughter] I don't pretend I have all the answers. I'm well aware that I don't, but that wasn't my goal. And they asked me all sorts of interesting questions. At the end I said, "Could I have fifteen minutes to just ask you questions?" And I could have said, "You don't believe in God, how do you get morality without God?" I couldn't have said, "Where does the universe come from if it doesn't come from God?"

I could have said, "How do you explain the resurrection?" But instead I said, "I'm a Christian. I think Christianity is true, and I'd like to persuade skeptics that it's true. But what bad impressions do Christians leave that prevent us from even being heard?" And I remember one guy in the back. He said, "Stop the atheist jokes." I thought, "Man, I've got some good ones." [laughter] Actually, he said, "Stop slandering atheist." He said he would go to a church somewhat frequently and just watch from the back. And he said regularly he would hear cheap shots against Christians or some other non-Christian group. Another guy raised his hand. He said, "Stop the hypocrisy." I said, "Well, what do you mean?" He said, "I have a friend who goes out and gets drunk, but then he always rails against the immorality of homosexuality."

And they're right. They're right. It's not lost on many people in our culture that we don't have rallies at DC against gossip. The Bible has some strong things to say about homosexual behavior, but it also has strong things to say about divorce. It has strong things to say about idolatry and lust and greed. The Bible speaks on these. David Kinnaman who is the president of Barna Research Group, he wrote a book called unChristian, and he studied nonbelievers how they view Christians. He said, "Outsiders say our hostility toward gays---not just opposition to homosexual politics and behaviors but disdain for gay individuals---has become virtually synonymous with the Christian faith." Friends, how did this happen? And he's right. I teach at a university, but I still teach one high school class.

And I got tired of seeing my students graduate, go into the university, and then have a professor pick apart their faith. So I get together with a friend of mine. I said, "We need to take our students the most godless, secular place we can think, and bring in atheists, agnostics, let them speak to our students." So this past February I took a group of twenty-two high school students to Berkeley. [laughter] And we brought in some atheists, some agnostics, and we brought in a friend of mine who is in his eighties, just the most kind, just grandfatherly soul you would ever meet. And for six decades he described himself as a "gay activist." And I invited him to speak to my students and help us understand his story and where they're coming from and allow us to ask questions.

I said, "I'm curious, you've been doing this a lot longer than I've been alive. How would you and your friends describe Christians?" He looked at me and spoke two words I'll never forget. He said, "The enemy." And I just stopped, I thought, "Now, wait a minute, Jesus said to "love your enemies." Jesus was "a friend of sinners." And, yet, somehow in our culture if you say you're a Bible-believing Christian, in the minds of the majority of people, you're hateful, bigoted, intolerant, homophobic, and as one guy called me, "Talibanic," for holding that view. So the question is: Why on earth would I speak on this and why on earth would I write a book on same-sex marriage? The answer simple: I just wanted to make lot of friends. [laughter]

Actually, before I started to speak on this and to write a book on it, my wife and I had a long conversation. I said, "Do I really want to talk about this issue publicly? Do I want to write about this and go on radio shows and have debates?" It's a lot easier not to, isn't it? And I kept coming back to a passage in Acts when I looked at the apostles, because the apostles saw Jesus in person, and they were willing to die for proclaiming the name of Jesus. You look at the beginning of Acts and what happens, they're threatened, they're thrown into prison, they're beaten, and they're told: "Just stop talking about Jesus and we'll let you go." In Acts 5:29 Peter says, we can't because "We must obey God rather than men." Friends, I fear God more than I fear men.

We have to speak compassionately and carefully and thoughtfully, but we must speak truth. So are all sins equal? I asked my ten-year-old son, I said, "Son, do you think all sins are equal?" He looked at me, he said, "Well," he goes, "I don't think so. Lying to my friend is not the same as murdering my friend." I actually agree with him. All sins aren't equal. The Bible doesn't teach that. All sins are not equal. In fact, it says in John, chapter 19, Jesus said to Pilate, "Therefore he who delivered me over to you has committed the greater sin." In Matthew 23, Jesus said the Pharisees had "neglected the weightier matters of the law." Degrees of punishment in hell and the words of heaven show that sins and righteousness acts are not equal.

In fact, it says in First Corinthians 6 that sexual immorality is the one sin you commit "against your own body." Friends, sins are not equal. Now there is a sense in which sin is equal, and it's that any sin can eternally separate us from a loving and a holy God. In that sense, sins are equal. In fact, in James 2:10 James the brother of Jesus said, "For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become accountable for all of it." That's a sobering word. Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." One the reasons I think we Christians are sometimes harsh and judgmental on this particular issue is because we think we're more righteous and we think we're better than other people.

I think if we were truly in touch with our own sinfulness, our own fallenness, our own desperate need for God, and our brokenness, we would have a lot more compassion and sympathy for all nonbelievers. Amen? [applause] At a press conference Billy Graham said: "I'm going to quote the Bible now, not myself, but it [homosexuality]," referring to behavior, "is a sin. But there are other sins. Why do we jump on that sin as though it's the greatest sin? The greatest sin in the Bible is idolatry. Jealousy is a sin. Pride is a sin. All of these are sin. But homosexuality is also a sin and needs to be dealt with and needs to be forgiven. That's why Christ came and died on the cross." And he's absolutely right. Now, so you might sitting there going, "Oh man, why is this such a big issue? Why can't we just agree to disagree on this issue?

"Maybe we disagree on the age of the earth. Maybe we disagree on the mode of baptism. Maybe we disagree on the role of women in the church. Why can't this issue be one of those that we just disagree on?" There's a very popular book and a movement and a conference called the Gay Christian Network. And this author by the name of Justin Lee has written a very thoughtful book. It's called Torn. He's a self-described "gay Christian" who grew up in the evangelical church. And then he started this movement because he now believes that God blesses same-sex unions if they're monogamous and faithful to each other. In his book he said this, he said, "I wanted to model for the church and the world that it is possible to live in loving, Christian community in the midst of significant theological disagreements."

Now I love his heart in this. We have to get over dying on secondary issues and agree on the essentials. Right? But there's a certain assumption in what he says, that issues of sexual morality are secondary issues we can just disagree on and go on our way. Is that something that we can do? Now he's right, there's clearly issues that Christians can disagree on. Paul talks about this in Romans 14. In verse 2 he says, "One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person only eats vegetables. One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike." He's saying Christians can disagree on certain issues. The question is: Is this topic one of them? Well, when I read the writings of Paul in First Corinthians 6.

And he says, "Or do you not know that the unrighteousness will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral [porneia], nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God." Paul ties this issue of homosexual behavior to those who enter the kingdom of God. That's a serious issue. Now in case you're sitting here going, "Oh, this isn't my issue. I don't have sex with men like it's says here." Well, maybe you didn't read the rest of passage. It also puts it with idolatry and adultery and stealing and being greedy and being drunk. So if you say, "Whew, I'm not like those people," but you get drunk, you're missing the whole point that Paul is making.

Friends, this passage condemns all of us as sinners before God. So what does the Bible teach on this? When I started researching this subject, I felt such a sense of gravity to get this right. Because it says in Isaiah 5 verse 20, "Beware of those who call good evil and those who call evil good." Friends, I've said to some of my friends who think that God is totally fine with same-sex relationships, I said, "If you are right, then I am calling something good evil. But if I'm right, you're calling something evil good." See, the question is: Has God spoken on this issue? Has God spoken and revealed a will, revealed a design for how we're supposed to live? That's the question. So a while ago I needed help with my Internet access, so I called up those nice operators from India who talk like this. Have you met these nice folks? [laughter]

And he answered my question and I was about to hang up. I thought, "You know what? This guy's job is to answer questions. You gotta think he gets some pretty stupid questions." I mean have you ever had somebody say to you: "There's no such thing as a stupid question." That's a lie. [laughter] I taught freshmen for nine years. [laughter] Well, I was about to hang up, I said: "Can you tell me honestly the craziest questions you've ever received about working a computer?" He goes, "Sure." He said, "I had a---I had a lady call up and she was frustrated, confused, needed some help." He said, "What's the matter, ma'am?" She said, "For crying out loud, my foot pedal doesn't work." Any guesses? [laughter] Yeah, she thought the mouse went underneath the desk like when you sew and is a foot pedal. [laughter]

He said, "I also had a guy call up, same thing." "I'm frustrated, I'm confused, I need some help." And he says, "What's the matter sir?" He says, "My cup holder's not big enough to fit my favorite mug." CD ROM drive or disc drive, exactly. [laughter] And then this last one happened to someone very close to me. I can't say who it is because I would never want to embarrass the woman who birthed me. [laughter] Well, my mom's come a long way. She now follows me on Twitter, which is-which is weird and cool, but---no, it's cool. A while ago she got a new computer and decided---she's one of those people that's very technologically handicapped---decided to set up her own e-mail account. Well, one of the first instructions said, "Close all the windows." [laughter]

My mom got up from her chair, walked around the house, and closed all the windows physically in the house. [laughter] Now you're laughing because you know a little something about computers. You know the mouse is not designed to be used as a foot pedal. You know the CD ROM drive is not meant to hold your Calvary Albuquerque mug. And you know that when the computer screen says "Close the windows," it doesn't mean the physical windows in your house. You see, a computer has been designed by somebody very smart to function a certain way. And when we don't know that truth or we miss that truth, what happens? Confusion, frustration, embarrassment, and loss. But when we know the truth of the design and we live according to it, we're actually set free.

That's why Jesus said, "You shall know truth and the truth shall." What? "Shall set you free." Friends, one of the biggest lies in our culture is over the nature of freedom. If there is no God, then you and I essentially are (lower case) god, and you're only free if you get to do whatever you want to do. But if there is a God, and he's designed us male and female, and he's created the world to operate a certain way, then it's only when we live within those boundaries that we will experience true freedom. Friends, when I read through the Scriptures, I told my wife, I said, "Look, I'm going to be honest, I'm going to read both sides. I have books in my bag on all sides of this issue right now reading on the airport in here this afternoon.

I told my wife, I said, "I teach at Biola University, and if I change my views on this subject, I would lose my job, but it's more important we get this subject right, than I have a job." We have to get this right as a church. And as I read through the Scriptures, I notice a few things. Number one, there's not a single passage in the Old Testament or New Testament that supports homosexual behavior---not one. Second, until the middle of the twentieth century not a single church leader, Christian or Jew, affirmed homosexual behavior as being right. Third, every regulation in the Bible just assumes male-female sex. That's just the assumption. Fourth, every proverb in the Bible assumes heterosexuality. Fifth, even the Ten Commandments assume heterosexuality: "Honor your father and mother," "Do not commit adultery," and then tenth, "Do not covet your neighbor's wife."

Let's look just quickly at three passages that I think lay out a biblical perspective on this issue. And number one is right in the garden in Genesis, chapter 2. God has designed sexual expression for all people. It says, "Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh." Right at the beginning of the Scriptures we see God's design, we see God's intent that a man and a woman leave their parents, who are a mom and a dad, they cleave to each other and they become one. Now, some critics look in this and they say, "Well, this chapter is just describing how it happened, but it doesn't apply to how we're supposed to live today." Well, the interesting thing is Jesus commented on this passage. Jesus was asked about the marriage issue in particular in relation to divorce.

And in Matthew 19 he said, "Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning, made them male and female, and said, 'Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'? So they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not men separate." But then you fast-forward into the book of Leviticus and you see another passage on this. Leviticus 18:22 says, "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination." Now notice it doesn't say the one who does this (gays) are an abomination. It doesn't say that. It says the act itself is an abomination. Now, Justin Lee in his book Torn, he said, "So scholars on both sides of the argument agreed that this probably had something to do with cult prostitution. That made sense to me."

In other words, he's saying this passage doesn't really have to do with homosexual behavior per se, but in that culture homosexual behavior was experienced through cult prostitution. So he was condemning the form of it today, not the way it's practiced in our culture in the present. Well, let me ask you a question. This same passage in Leviticus also condemns adultery, child sacrifice. Are those okay if we remove them from cult prostitution? No. Those are still wrong regardless of whether it's cult prostitution or not, right? In fact, Robert Gagnon who studied this, probably---he's probably the foremost conservative expert.

He said, "When the biblical writers rejected homosexual cult prostitution, they were in effect rejecting the whole phenomena of homosexual practice. They were repudiating a form of homosexual intercourse that was the most palatable in their cultural context." And I think he's right. You see, when the biblical authors wanted to condemn cult prostitution, they did it clearly. In Deuteronomy 23:17 it says, "None of the daughters of Israel shall be a cult prostitute, and none of the sons of Israel shall be a cult prostitute." Friends, Leviticus has a very powerful passage about this. But, third, let's go to the New Testament. What about the book of Romans where Paul talks about this?

In Romans 1, a very powerful passage, Paul says, "For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving themselves the due penalty for their error." Now this describes homosexual behavior is not natural. And powerful words like "shameless," those are strong words that Paul used. Now, the key to understanding this verse is looking at the larger context of what Paul is doing in Romans 1.

See, if you look at the verse three verses right before in Romans 1:18, Paul says: "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation, in the things have been made. So they are without excuse." What's Paul saying? Paul is condemning the whole human race. He's saying, because God has made himself evident in nature, we know God is powerful, we know God is good, we know God is self-existent. And then he points to the design between male and female and says similarly we know there's a biological design, but people reject it.

Now one common objection to this is people will say, "Well, Paul was speaking of pederasty." Now pederasty is a very disturbing practice that was common in the Roman culture at this time. Basically, a man would take a young boy, twelve, thirteen, fourteen years old and quote "mentor" him, which meant he would show him certain things in life to be successful, but he would also use him to have anal sex. These boys, twelve, thirteen, fourteen years old, they were used that way by the men, and it was common, accepted in that culture. So I just read a pastor who wrote a letter to his congregation last week, and he said that Paul was not talking about homosexual relations as we have them today, he was talking about pederasty or cult prostitution.

But the problem is when you read the passage, what does it say? It says "men committing shameless acts with men." This is not about pederasty, friends. And besides, there was no lesbian equivalent of pederasty in ancient Rome. Friends, as I read the Scriptures, and I look back as church fathers have dealt with the Scriptures, this issue is clear. But I've also found this: if we want to find a way around what the Bible teaches, there's always a way to do it. In fact, some of the attention paid to reenvisioning some of these passages reminds me of Genesis, chapter 3. "Did God really say . . .?" So what do we do about this? In a minute---I asked if we could take questions live, and you're going to bring up some microphones. You're going to have a chance to ask questions of clarification, challenges.

However I can help you through this issue, I will do my best. But let me humbly offer just a few things as a church, ways I think we can respond healthy. Number one: speak with tenderness on this issue. Friends, speak with tenderness. There are so many hurting and so many wounded people out there, especially on this issue. A couple years ago I had a friend who texted me. He goes, "Oh, McDowell, you better see this tweet that was sent out about you." I thought, "Oh, great." So I pull up this tweet and the tweet said something to the effect of "Josh McDowell's son teaches kids how to love." Now in case you didn't figure it out, my dad's been here a bunch of times, my dad is Josh McDowell. In fact, last week we just separated---separate?---celebrated [laughter]. You meant what I knew. [laughter]

We celebrated his seventy-fifth birthday. [applause] I told my dad, I said, "Man, Dad, you're old. [laughter] When God said, 'Let there be light,' you flipped on the switch." [laughter] But some guy sends out this tweet: "Josh McDowell's son teaches kids how to love." So I click on it and I was in 2008 on this panel in California at a huge church in San Diego when the whole Proposition 8 issue was unfolding. You probably remember that. And I was asked a question live in front of probably 5,000 people. And I answered with a story and then I explained the story. Well, a friend of mine took the story and sent it out to thousands of youth pastors all around the country, but he snipped my explanation of the story. Well, he loved the story and he meant well, but without my explanation I could have been saying a lot of different things.

So this guy on his blog just rips me---I am hateful. I am bigoted. There's dozens of comments and people just ripping me in a way. I'm used to somewhat a public life getting criticized, but this was deeper than ever. And I've learned that when I'm upset like that, if I respond immediately, I'm just going is to say something un-Christlike that I regret. So, I take a deep breath, try to have a prayerful attitude about it. I wait a whole day. [laughter]. And then somebody sends in the whole video. And what's amazing is how many people, including Christians, crucified me without even having the context, which convinces me that many Christians don't even care about truth. But then it shows the whole context. Half of them are like, "Oh that makes sense. I'm with him." The other half are like, "It's even worse. We hate this guy." [laughter]

So the next day I decide I'm going to write a letter to this blogger. And I wrote him a letter. I went out of the way to find common ground, to be gracious, to be kind. I showed it to a family member of mine, not my dad, and this family member said, "You need to be more firm and call him out for his wrong behavior." I said, "You know what? It's not my job to correct somebody's behavior. Only God can convict somebody of sin. I'm going to speak lovingly but truthfully." He got my letter. He liked it so much he put it on his blog---without my permission, but that's a separate issue. [laughter] And he said, "I disagree with this guy, but when somebody responds tenderly and kindly, we should take note." It hit me, I thought, "My goodness," because I haven't always responded that way, that's for sure.

Don't believe me? Just ask my wife. [laughter] But I'm working on it and God's transforming me. But on this issue, friends, me must speak with tenderness. Second, do not allow gay jokes or comments. Don't do it. It needs to stop. In fact, if any of us in this room have told gay jokes, we need to repent of it now. I have a young person I talked to recently, and he said he found out he had same-sex attraction when he was about twelve. And he said, "I never told anybody for years, because my youth pastor, my friends would talk about gays and they would laugh about them. And that told me I'm not welcome here, and if I share my struggle, they're going to mock me." I was at the Olympics in 1996 and---in Atlanta, and I had a chance to work in a T-shirt stand, and we were selling T-shirts.

And if you've ever been to an Olympics, it's amazing the people from all over, all different parts of the world. I mean, people come from the most faraway places, from China, from India, from Africa, from Texas. [laughter] And people wear flags of where they're from because they're proud of it. And I was sitting here selling T-shirts and this guy, I don't remember, maybe forty, forty-five comes walking up and he had a huge rainbow flag just blazing across this sweatshirt. And I knew what that meant, but I don't think of a better way to get in a conversation. Give me grace, this is eighteen years ago. I said, "Hey, that's an interesting flag. What country are you from?" [laughter] That's all I could think of. This man looks at me in the eyes and he says, this is his quote, he says, "Oh, it's a queer thing."

I said, "Oh, so you wear that so people know that you're gay?" He said, "That's right. That's what the rainbow means." I said, "You mind if I you ask you a question?" He said, "No." I said, "You wear this publicly so people see it. Do people walking by sometimes make insults at you and degrade you because of this?" He looked at me and said, "Yes, it actually happens somewhat frequently." And I just looked at him in the eyes, I said, "Sir, I am so sorry that people would treat you that way. That's not right. I'm sorry." Have you ever looked at somebody and felt like their eyes were truly a window to the soul? I remember, this guy was twice my age, and I remember seeing this sadness. And he looked to me, he just paused. He said, "Thank you."

He said, "You're the nicest person I've met at the whole Olympics. Do you mind if I take a picture with you?" I said, "Of course." And you know why? Because I thought, "Maybe he's going take this picture, put it on his fridge, and someone's going to see it and say, "Oh, don't you know who that is? That's a Christian. They're 'the enemy.' "And he'll say, "No, no. He was kind to me. He was loving to me." Now, was I saying, "Hey, whatever choices you want to make is great, whatever floats your boat"? No, I wasn't saying that. I was basically saying, "You're a human being, and we don't treat human beings like dirt." It doesn't matter your race or your gender or your social economic status or your age or your sexual orientation, human beings are made in the image of God and deserve respect as image-bearers. [applause]

That's why Paul says, "Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving." Third, preach the gospel, because change is possible. Friends, I want to read you this passage I read earlier, but what I left out was the end. In First Corinthians 6:9 through 11 it says, "Or do you not know that the unrighteousness will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you, but you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God."

Friends, when I say change is possible, I'm not saying whether somebody's born that way or not, or that God will change your sexual orientation. The Bible doesn't promise that'll change somebody's sexual orientation. In fact, I think when we look at the evidence of whether somebody's born that way or not, I think we have to say the evidence to a degree is ambiguous. It's probably some degree of nature and nurture. But I happen to believe my Christian and non-Christian friends who have same-sex attraction, when they look at me and they say, "I didn't ask for this. I didn't want this," I believe them in that. But the question is: What does the Bible call us to? It doesn't call homosexuals to become straight; it calls all of us to leave our sin behind and become holy. [applause] Friends, Paul said change is possible.

And, last, before we take questions, and I've left a good amount of time, is if you're going to lovingly and compassionately speak truth on this subject, be prepared to suffer. It might cost you something. In fact, not too long ago Joel Olsteen, pastor of the megachurch in Houston, and I have some issues with his theology to say to at least, but Joel Olsteen is a nice guy. I think he really believes it. I think he's just misguided in terms of Scripture. Well, he was on CNN and he was being interviewed maybe two or three years ago. And it had nothing to do with this subject. And the host says, "Well, what do you think about homosexuality?" And I about fell out of my seat because Joel Olsteen says, "Well, as Christians sometimes we pick certain sins and we hammer them more than others. The Bible says it's a sin, but we're all sinners and need to turn to God."

I thought, "Holy cow! That's a pretty good answer." Now my expectations were low, but it was still a pretty good answer. And then the host turns back. He says, "Wait a minute, you're calling that a sin? Who are you to judge?" He said, "I'm not judging. It's what Jesus spoke." He said, "No. You're judging," and he starts attacking him. And finally he says, he goes, "Well, what would you say if Elton John was here. What would you say to Elton John?" Joel says, "Well, I'd say I like your music." [laughter] And I sat there, I thought, "My goodness, we are called to be tender, we are called to be compassionate, but we're reaching a point in culture where it no longer is our nation Christian, if it really ever was Christian, no longer does it just tolerate Christianity, but now if you believe a Christian ethic, you are the bad guy. You're the evil one.

And it doesn't matter how lovingly you say it and kindly and how nice you are, because Joel Olsteen is really nice, there are certain people that want to silence you. That's why I wrote in the book Same-Sex Marriage, I said, "The goal of the gay movement is not to get marriage, it's to silence dissent." and you stand in the way of that dissent. Should we be surprised by this? No. Peter, First Peter 3:17 says, "For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God's will, than for doing evil." There's Christians in your state, you know the stories, florists, bakers, photographers, lovingly just trying to stand on Christian principles persecuted for their beliefs. Friends, we cannot stay silent on this issue. In whatever way God has given us, some bigger platform, some smaller, but the Scriptures are clear.

And if what Jesus and Paul and the Scriptures teach is true, and we believe it is, it's actually us who teach that truth and who try to model it appropriately who are doing the loving thing despite what our culture says. Amen? [applause] Well, let's do this. I know this might not be what you normally do on a Wednesday, but I'd like to open it up for questions, questions for me, challenges. I don't pretend I have all the answers. We have a couple pastors up front, and if you raise your hand, and particularly if you hold money up, they will find you that much more quickly. [laughter] But could I ask this: time is going to go fast, there may be a lot of questions, will you state your question as succinctly and to the point as possible, so we can allow as people to ask questions, and I will do my best to respond.

So throw your hand up if you would like to ask a question, and we'll see where this goes. I think they're going to have you walk down the aisle and meet in the front, and then when this side's talking, the other side will be finding someone else.

Sean McDowell: Yeah?

Female: So, Josh, I have a family member who is a homosexual living with a man, and he has prayed the sinner's prayer and asked Jesus to come into his heart. So, he wants to do the right thing and---spiritually, but the whole flesh, you know, being weak is---seems to be his major problem. And he's always really worried about dying and hell and, you know, going to hell. And so, you know, he-he---I don't always know what to say when he calls me to talk about that.

Sean McDowell: He calls you to talk about this issue?

Female speaker: Oh, we talk about the Lord all the time.

Sean McDowell: About---he talks about his attractions and his ---

Female: ---his attractions, his faith ---

Sean McDowell: ---all the time with you?

Female: ---how he wants to live for God, you know, and---but he's still in this relationship.

Sean McDowell: Okay. Well, I would say the first thing is I'm glad that he feels the freedom to talk to you. I mean, that's huge. A lot of people who have the attractions that he has feels like they're going to be rejected and they bury and it down inside. So, he's taken the right step. I would shower and just err on the side of grace: listen, love, pray with him, support him. Affirm that he's not the only one who's gone through this, that all of us in effect are born with a sinful nature and have desires we didn't ask for. So, I would do everything you can to keep that relationship going. Two other things: number one is I would try to find some kind of support group for other men, not women, but other men kind of young and old who find that they have same-sex attraction as well.

And sometimes--- I'm glad he's talking to you---but having other people with this same kind of burden that they can connect, they can understand, they can relate to each other and strengthen each other just gives a certain kind of soul satisfaction and support that you and I probably couldn't bring. Third, I'd actually recommend that he read a book called Washed and Waiting by Wesley Hill. Wesley Hill grew up in a Christian home. He was not sexually abused. He doesn't fit any of stereotypes that a lot of people say cause homosexual behavior. He goes, "I have a good relationship with my dad." But he found that he had same-sex attraction, and he said, "What do I do about it?"

And he talks about his journey and kind of this struggle and how he fits in with the church and just so moving, so eye-opening, such a powerful way to, you know, for him to read of another person who's probably in his shoes. He says, "I want to follow God. Here's my struggles," I think would really encourage him. So keep the relationship going, pour grace and love on him. Second, see if there's a group. I don't know if they have one at this church or not. I mean---he's saying yes, they do. Get him plugged in. That would be helpful. And, third, check out the book by Wesley Hill, Washed and Waiting, I think would really, really encourage him.

Female: Thank you.

Sean McDowell: So, thank you.

Male: How would you suggest to talk to Christians who show more of a hate toward homosexuals?

Sean McDowell: How would I talk to Christians who show more of a hate to homosexuals? The first thing I would do is I would pray for that Christian, because I think it's a spiritual battle that's going on and their heart is not broken. Second, I would just---I would find an example and I would talk to them. I'd say, "Man, you seem really hateful about these people. Where does this come from? What's the root of this? Why do you hate them and not others? The Bible says we are all sinners before God." And I would---I mean, if somebody wants to hate and doesn't want to change, there's nothing you can do to change that person. Right? Even some people walked away from an encounter with Jesus, like the rich young ruler. So if this person wants to hate them, we sometimes see the Westboro Baptists, I mean, clearly I think that's a hateful approach.

How to do you talk to them? Well, they don't want to listen. They don't want to have a conversation. Pray for them and try to clean up the mess of the damage that they cause. So I'd pray for this person. I'd try to build a relationship. And I would just try to have conversations in so far as you can get to the heart of what's driving this hate. And even if you know people who have the same-sex attraction, say, "Gosh, here you seem so hateful. I have friends who really wrestle with this. And it's actually this attitude that harms them from being able to come and feel like they belong at church and feel like God loves them. Do you care about all Christians?" I mean, I would try to just push back and see what's at the root of it? So, thank you. I hope that helps a little bit.

Male: Yes, I have a young relative in high school who's developed a friendship with a boy who self-identifies as gay. He's becoming a family friend because he lives in the neighborhood. And, you know, he and this relative of mine are in high school together and share some classes together. So, he comes around and he seems like a very pleasant young man, but he self-identifies as gay, and I want to witness to him. I'm thinking of challenging his self-identification and just telling him, "I think maybe you're just at an age of exploration, you're young, maybe you're more comfortable with the same sex than the opposite sex, but I don't think you need to get locked into a gay identity at this age in your life."

Sean McDowell: Now first off, I think everything you're saying is true. The question is: Would this young person listen and really take it to heart? And in my experience it's when that relationship is really there, and the person knows that we care about them, that they're willing to have these kind of conversations. So I would really first and focus---focus on helping this young person as you would any young person feel like they belong, like you care about them, you're building a relationship with them, they matter, they're important to you. And then through time there may be time---through time there may be the opportunity to have kind of those in-depth conversations.

For me, if somebody's not a believer, and it sounds like this person is, I wouldn't make homosexuality and their identity the core issue that they need to overcome before they can get to the cross. I would talk about: Who is Jesus? Why did Jesus come? Do you believe in God? Now, if he brings up that issue, I'm not saying skirt it and don't address it, but I want to get to the heart issue. If this person's not a believer, they need to know who Jesus is, why Jesus died, and then when they have the Spirit inside of them, God transforms us from the inside out.

Male: Okay, thank you.

Sean McDowell: So, thank you.

Female: We've actually been invited to a wedding now in October, my entire family. Like, do we go? Do we support? Do we take the kids? Do we explain before we go? I don't know, we're kind of confused.

Sean McDowell: This is a great question. I'm so glad you asked this. In a---let me just give you some context for this. A month ago I wrote a book on same-sex marriage, and what we found is I was getting asked these kinds of questions everywhere. So other questions like: "What if I have somebody I work with and that person is married to a same-sex partner and they're having a baby shower, 'Come have a piece of cake, because we adopted,' do you go?" I mean, there are endless kind of scenarios that we find ourselves in. How do we answer these? So we put in the end like fifteen or twenty scenarios, this one included, to try to anticipate ahead of time before we're in that circumstance, so we can respond as lovingly and graciously as we can. Now, here's the deal: I think on some issues there's clear out-of-bounds for a Christian.

I really do. But there's a whole lot of issues like this in which Christians can disagree and try to operate on their understanding of Scripture and on their conscience. So I have a friend I talked to, he said, "I had a same-sex couple that got married. They invited me to their wedding. I don't agree with it. I think it's wrong. I think my friend knows that, but I want to keep the relationship going. I have prayed about it and feel I have a clear conscience to go." I look at him and I say, "Okay, that's between you and that's between God. For me, I couldn't go. I wouldn't go." Why? Do you think I could really stand there and---or sit there and be silent when the pastor at the very end before he announces the new couple says, "All right, if there's anybody who has issues, speak now." [laughter]

And it's not fair to go and speak up in the middle of a wedding. I think that's even more wrong. So, I couldn't, because what is a wedding? A wedding is a public celebration of a certain kind of union before God. Even people who aren't Christians are still made male and female would desire of this institution called marriage, which is a God-ordained institution. I couldn't go. And I also start to think, "What kind of message does this send to my kids when they ask me someday, to other believers in the church, and to the body of Christ?" Now, what some of you might be thinking is, "Oh, man, you've destroyed that relationship." And I think, you know what?

I think if we err on the side of really building loving relationships, then people who know us and know where we're coming from, when we get invited, the response is: "Thank you so much for inviting me to this special day. I know this probably is going to be one of the most special memorable days in your life, that you would include me is touching. Now, you know that I'm a Christian. We've had these conversations before, and we have some difference. I don't honestly think that I can go and celebrate this, but please know that I care about you as a person, and I really hope that we can continue this relationship." And if that relationship is really there and that person knows it, I think chances are you're going to be okay and they're going to respect that. [applause]

Female: How do you respond to someone when they said, "Well, I was born this way." I mean, what's a good way to answer to that?

Sean McDowell: How do I respond?

Female: Yeah.

Sean McDowell: I basically look at them and I go, I go, "Okay, how do you know that?" I'm serious. How does somebody know that they were born that way? Now they might say, "Because from the earliest memories I have when I was two or three or four, I remember having these kind of attractions. I didn't choose this." But that still doesn't mean that they were made that way. In the past---or born that way. In the past few years one of the things we've learned about child development is just the power of even our experiences in the womb, moms talking to their kids. Even the health of the dad. There's a recent book that talks about the health of the dad shapes the future, believes in health and brain development in the kids. So there's no way scientifically someone could prove that out.

So I would just simply say, "Wow, how do you know that? Which is your study in which you show that this is true?" And in my book Ethix, E-T-H-I-X, I have a whole chapter on this. And I walk through the brain study by their scientist named LeVay. There's a study by Dean Hamer. There's twin studies. There's multiple studies attempting to find a biological root that somebody was born this way, and all the studies are ambiguous. It doesn't prove that. Okay, but the question would be, all right: If somebody is born that way---in fact, I might ask---I might say first, "How do you know that's true." Second, "Let me make sure I understand. Are you implying that any desires we have that we are born with are morally okay? Is that what you're saying?"

Because I have some desires I've always had to hurt people. And I don't have big issues with this. [laughter] It's like, don't worry. [laughter] But, right? We've all been mad, like in a game, and thought, "Man, I just want to hit that person," right? Okay, don't read too much into that. [laughter] I've had desires to take things that aren't mine, to tell lies. Right? You don't learn this stuff. Some people say kids are naturally good. Well, they're just not parents. [laughter] Right? I mean, I would really say this precisely. Number one, how do you know it? Number two, are you really implying that if somebody is born with certain inclinations or desires that that is necessarily okay and moral?

Because there's a lot of things that scientist will say some people are born with an inclination towards anger, some people are born with an inclination toward alcoholism. Does that imply that it's okay? And there's even a lot of "gay activists," and this is a term they use. And even Justin Lee in his book Torn he says the evidence is ambiguous, it's probably some kind of nature and nurture. And then he says but even if we were born this way, it wouldn't tell us whether that behavior is right or whether that behavior is wrong.

Female: Okay, thank you. [applause]

Sean McDowell: Here's an interesting point, though: almost all Christians whenever I do this want to ask "Are they born that way?" Almost every time I get to interact with gays who are non-Christian, their question is different. They say, "Do you believe homosexuality is a sin?" That's just a different question based upon where we're coming from that seems to be very central for people.

Yeah, go ahead, my friend.

Male: Hi. I'm the leader of Identity Quest at Calvary, which is a group of---support group for men that are struggling with same-sex attractions. I had a long struggle with homosexuality and been free from it for several years now. And---

Sean McDowell: Praise the Lord. Tell---Dennis, did you say? What---[applause]

Male: ---Mike. We also have a group here for women that is led by Joyce Toler and we're actually---[applause]---we're actually starting tomorrow night. So---

Sean McDowell: Wow.

Mike: My question to you is that for years I've had this class and I barely have one or two people show up at the most each time. And I don't know how---I believe there is a greater need out there for people that are struggling with this and they want help. And I don't know why people don't come. I don't know why they're afraid to step forward. And what would you suggest as a way to try to get people to come? We have like 16,000 people that attend this church in all the different services, and I know there's gotta be more people struggling with it.

Sean McDowell: Call each one of them personally. No. I'm just kidding. [laughter] First off, thank you, number one, for your ministry and for sharing that. My---[applause]--- Praise the Lord for your example and for your heart. And, second, thank you for having the courage to stand and to go with this. Sometimes there's probably voices in your head that say, "Do I want people to know? Am I going to be treated differently?" And I can tell by your voice that you know the gospel's bigger than that. So let me ask a question: How many of you did not know this support group existed? Let me see your hands. Okay, put your hands down. How many of you now know that this support group exists? [laughter]

Problem solved. Well, of course, it's not quite that simple. But some of it is just getting the word out. I promise you, I know a handful of people here I've met from the past in different places, but I guarantee you there's people sitting here right now that also have stories like yours. There's probably some people sitting here right now saying, "I've never shared this with anybody." And they feel ashamed. They've buried it inside. They don't know how God can help them. They don't know what to do. They're afraid. So why don't you do this, and then I know the church will come after me and help address this in a more formal way: tell us again how they can get a hold of you or get plugged into this specific ministry.

Mike: Well, it starts tomorrow. It's going to be at 6:15 and it's over in the Plex. You could also get on the Calvary website calvaryabq.org and look under Identity Quest and it will give the information about the group. Also, we have in the foyer for the last few weeks we've been having a stand out there that gives information about the group.

Sean McDowell: Praise the Lord.

Mike: And I would just like to see more people come, because I know that it is a long struggle. And I do believe I have been delivered, not only from the sin, but I also have attraction toward women now. And the sin didn't take long to be able to be free from, because the Lord frees you from that just like he does any other sin. But getting the attractions is the thing that takes a long, long time, because it's things you have to work on and it's a long struggle. It takes many years. But that is possible as well. So, it's not just that, you know, you can be saved and you can be saved from the sin, but you can also change, and that is a possibility. I'm not saying God's going snap and you're changed right away, there's a lot of work that you have to do to change that, but you can be redeemed right away and be saved, you know, by the---

Sean McDowell: ---And your life testifies to that. Thank you for having the courage to share that and God bless on your ministry.

Well, it is that time. I apologize. I would love to keep taking more, but I promised them I would wrap up on time. But here's what I'll do. I will sneak out to my book table, say hi, sign a book if you're interested, try to answer more questions. Help you any way I can. This is the one I was referring to simply called Same-Sex Marriage. It's half the length of a normal book. It's a quick, just---because we're busy, right?---a quick response to this issue. How do we lovingly and truthfully respond? And I found that Christians, we're afraid of this issue. Islam and this issue of same-sex marriage scares a lot of Christians. Those are the two. Friends, we have nothing to be afraid of. No matter what happens politically on this issue, Jesus has still risen from the grave. Amen? [cheers and applause]

I'm going to sneak out there. Would love to sign one if that helps. And then another I brought for students of partakers called the Apologetics Study Bible for Students. I brought this in the past. And this issue of homosexuality, same-sex marriage is one of them, including other ethical issues, apologetics issues, how do we help young people answer these tough questions? And it has 120 questions in there, including my favorite one: "If God made everything, then why is it wrong to smoke pot?" [laughter] That's a great question. Now you're curious, you're going to have to pick up a copy. God bless you guys. [applause]

Closing: What binds us together is devotion to worshiping our heavenly Father, dedication to studying his Word, and determination to proclaim our eternal hope in Jesus Christ.

How Jesus prays for us
John 17
Bill Holdridge
Info
Message Summary
Ever wonder why or how Jesus prays for us and that if we know He does, how should we really be acting and thinking? Our guest speaker Pastor Bill brings out the vital points of prayer teaching how Jesus prays for us. The Apostles and Disciples hear the beautiful words of their master as Jesus speaks to His Father about us. As we hear and read the prayers of Jesus we must never forget that Jesus is full of thoughts of us and He will be praying for those who love him. So, do you want to know what Jesus prays for you?

Message Summary
Paul was a man who went to the people; he did not wait for the people to come to him. Are you waiting for those to hear you preach or teach or are you willing to go out and bring the gospel to men? Senior Pastor Tom Stipe of Crossroads Church in Denver brings us a vital message from the book of ACTS concerning our approach in preaching the gospel and uses Paul as the example of how a single man brought the gospel to folks in his sphere of influence. Pastor Tom challenges us to not be afraid or have fear when we do preach the gospel. Are you willing to step out and be confronted by the public, friends or loved ones? God did through Jesus, so why not you?

Info
Message Summary
Do you believe every thing you see and hear? Do you know how to discern what is true and what is false? Would you recognize a false prophet? Senior Pastor Paul Scozzafava, from Calvary Santa Fe, gives us three import things to understand in our daily walk of our Christian life that will help us discern what is good and right and who it is that is not. Be sure of who you are and who you belong to, for God, through Jesus, will have it no other way. So, do you know?

Ezra 3:1-7
Greg Opean
Info
Message Summary
Who among us has not failed? Who among us can truthfully say I can make it on my own? The Israelites failed and walked in disobedience, but God used and allowed circumstances to bring His people back to a place of worship. Pastor Greg Opean presents a stimulating message of returning to the God of our lives as we read in the Book of Ezra how the people met and rebuilt the alter of God to renew their worship with God.

Beloved, How Shall We Live?
2 Peter 3:1-13
Dave Row
Info
Message Summary
How shall we live if we are so loved? How should we act if we are given so much? And how is it that we still cling to things that will be burned up? Peter advises believers on how to live in the face of scoffers and mockers. He urges the believer to live in a way that is unmovable in perilous times. Pastor Dave Row delivers a stimulating message from 2 Peter on how we are to live knowing that the Lord is coming. If we know this then, Beloved How Shall We Live? The answer is holy, wholly, and ready at any moment for the coming of our Lord!

Info
Message Summary
Do you drink from the communion cup to merely quench your physical thirst or do you drink it in communion with the body of Christ and with the Lord as your focus? Paul writes to the Corinthian church stressing the importance of putting aside selfishness and coming together for the right reasons. Pastor Dave Row brings thought provoking insights into the real communion of the body of Christ and why we join to celebrate the remembrance of Jesus. So, do you simply enjoy the meal on the table or do you enjoy the One who put the food on the table?

Love Never Fails
1 Corinthians 13
Dave Row
Info
Message Summary
Is it true that All you need is love? The rock group The Beatles seemed to think so, Paul the Apostle thought so, and you should also think so. Love is what God is all about, for love is the very nature of God. Pastor Dave Row speaks to us about love, what it is, and what it is not. Pastor Dave shares from the book of I Corinthians, Chapter 13, breaking down the elements of love. If there is one thing you can count on concerning love, it is that Love Never Fails. Pastor Row presents three aspects of love that we should know, including The Significance of Love, The Substance of Love, and The Superiority of Love.

Psalms 46
Don McClure
Info
Message Summary
God tells us to be still and to know that He is God. Do you rest in Him when the storms come, or do you run to the confines of your mind to figure things out? David knew God and the peace and rest that can be found in Him. Pastor Don McClure reminds us of a different world where we should dwell as we grow in our understanding of the things God would have us to do in times of trouble. Psalm 46:10 tells us to be still and know that He is God. Are you too busy to know God on a deep level or do you dwell in the throne room of your Lord and receive His strength for your refuge? God has a plan for you and it can only be for good. Step into His world and know Him.

The Beauty of Brokenness
Psalms 51
Chip Lusko
Info
Message Summary
Has God broken you? Have you remained humble? What does it take to live in a place of brokenness so you will be readily used by God? In Psalm 51, David speaks about how God will use a contrite and broken heart. Pastor Chip Lusko brings insight into this Psalm as we hear how brokenness forms a beauty that God delights in. Are you willing to be broken or will you remain aloof and hope God will use you? Think about it.

Do we have blessings from God? If so, do we know what they are? In the book of Matthew we find a list of blessings that Jesus proclaims can be ours.

We should be encouraged to personalize these blessings for digestion into our soul.

Eyewitnesses
1 John 1:1-4
Dave Row
Info
Message Summary
News media resources count on names such as "Eyewitness News" or "Action News" because these names say something about their mission. Have you been faithful to repeat what you have seen or heard about Jesus Christ? The Book of 1 John gives us keen insight into the heart of John as Pastor Dave Rowe elaborates on the writings of John from the perspective of joy. Pastor Dave challenges us to seek this joy by telling others about Jesus. So, as you share about Jesus, notice that your joy becomes complete.

Light vs. Darkness
1 John 1:5-2:2
Dave Row
Info
Message Summary
Can light and darkness join as one? Can God take away our darkness and bring us into the glorious light? The Apostle John writes in 1 John that God is light and in Him there is no darkness at all. This statement is the very truth that gives us hope for our God is holy and full of light. Many may offer light, but only One is the true light and that One is the Son of God, Jesus Christ. So, what is your light?

Does God Speak Today?
Psalms 19
Scott Richards
Info
Message Summary
Does God really speak to us? If so, how does this happen? If it does happened, how do I know what He's saying? These are good questions and a young King David learned the answers to these questions in God's outdoor classroom. God speaks to us in a still small voice and gives us His word to confirm His love for us. You can know that God does speak to us today by becoming His child and reading His word. In these ways we can see how God leads us from glory to glory. So, how about you? Are you tuning in on the right frequency or are you still dialing through the world of stations?

Behavior vs. Bravado
1 John 2:3-11
Dave Row
Info
Message Summary
Some questions are hard to ask sometimes, especially if those questions are directed at us. Questions like "Do we really love God?", "How do we know we love God?", and "What does it look like to love God?" can really be tough. Many good men strive to do what is right, but unless we know God and we follow His commandments we do not know the truth. John writes words aimed at helping us understand the free will choice we have to make daily to love God. So, if you really want to understand what it means to have a deep love for God or to know where you stand, just listen to what John has to say to us through the Holy Spirit.

Samson - a life of Compromise
Judges 13-16
Brian Michaels
Info
Message Summary
What does it take to keep a promise or vow? Do we really understand the commitment of keeping our words? In the book of Judges Samson clearly demonstrates that he neither understood nor took seriously the instructions of his parents concerning the keeping of the Nazirite vow. We will see that compromise leads to more compromise and ultimately to our demise. But God is gracious and if we repent and turn from our evil ways God will, as He did with Samson, grant us grace. So, when you sign that paper, say those words, or make that promise…, be sure you understand what it's all about.

Permanent Love vs. Passing Lust
1 John 2:12-17
Dave Row
Info
Message Summary
As a believer, are you ready to choose between the passing pleasures of sin or staying the course even if you are called to suffer? The way you live your life is a testimony to the internal nature of your convictions. Any way that leads away from the Lord leads to destruction. This world and its destructive lusts will come to an end, but one who is continually doing the will of God has a front row seat to eternity. Where is your seat located, in the aisle of destruction or on the front row or eternity?

Easter Sunrise Service 2006

Info
Message Summary
Jesus Christ is risen! It's not about a fancy holiday outfit, candy, or anything other than the fact that He is risen. Are you passionate about your walk with Him? Are you committed to do the things He calls you to? Considering the love He has for each one of us, the sacrifice He made for each one of us, and the depth of knowledge He has about each one of us, can we offer anything less than a passionate commitment to everything He has for us? Do you really want anything less than His best in for life? Join us for a very special Easter message by guest teacher Ryan Dobson, entitled The Power of Passion.

Will the real believer please stand up?
1 John 2:18-29
Dave Row
Info
Message Summary
Are you willing to stand up for the cross of Christ, or are you content to hear only what you want to believe? How do you know who the real believers are, and if you do recognize them are you willing to follow? John writes in 1 John 2:18-29 about how to recognize the real Christian and how to spot the false one. The marks of a true believer are clear to all as John speaks of the telltale attributes of the Holy Spirit in the believer's life. So, are you among the true believes or are you sitting in with those who really oppose the Gospel of Christ?

The Power of a Resurrected Life
Philippians 3:10
Dave Row
Info
Message Summary
What power do you know of that can raise a person from the dead and then give a promise to do the same for you? We all were dead in our sins, but through the resurrection of Christ we now have the re-birth needed to live. Paul writes to the Philippians about the Power of a Resurrected Life as part of the knowledge we need to live a life before those who do not know Jesus. Paul showed us, as Christ did, that to live is to die and to die is to live only through a resurrected life. There is power we can know only if we know the One who bore our sins and gave us eternal life. If you want to know that power, the Apostle Paul has some words for you.

The Children of God pt. 1 - Godly Living
1 John 3:1-9
Dave Row
Info
Message Summary
How would you describe the state of your family life? Is it close, comforting, and encouraging? Or is it not quite what you had always hoped for? As Christians, we are part of God's family, the family of all families. We are bathed in His love and have access to all of the benefits of being His children. But if we abandon His invitation to join this family we automatically become members of the family of sin and there simply are no benefits associated with this family. So think about which family portrait you would like to be part of – God's Family Portrait or Sin's Family Portrait.

Do you ever ask yourself when all of your hard work will finally pay off? If you are a Christian, you are on a deferred payment plan.

The Divine Code
2 Timothy 3:16-17
Dave Row
Info
Message Summary
All of us have read books and some of those books stirred our hearts but did you know that the Bible can stir your heart to know and understand the deep truths of God? In II Timothy we read that all scripture is given by the inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, correction, reproof and instruction in righteousness. Why? So that we may know how to dispel false doctrine and equip others to stand in the faith they have been given. What do you think about the word of God and do you believe that all scripture is given by the inspiration of God? Timothy writes to us by the Holy Spirit that we can know and be assured that the word of God is the Word of God…, and that's a fact you can believe and know, so get into the word and live.

The Love of God - Part 2
1 John 4:15-21
Dave Row
Info
Message Summary
What are you afraid of and why? Did you know that God says to fear not? Did you know that your past and future is in God by Jesus Christ and you have not need to fear? Perfect love casts out fear as the Apostle John writes in First John Chapter 4, if a man fears he is not made perfect in love. All of God's love is for us and in us, so if you really want to know God's love you must abide in Him and He will abide in you. Yes, God is for you and loves you completely, but, will you let Him?

Message Summary
Have you overcome the world? Do you know how to overcome the world? Is your family strong enough to overcome the world? The Apostle John writes in First John Chapter 5 concerning how we can know that we have overcome the world. But what is it to really do just that? John says, it is our faith in God and in His Son Jesus Christ that overcomes the world. The question here is; do you know who God is and His Son or do you just know of Him? Your family will get you through this life but only Jesus can bring you beyond this world to His Father and all of it by His love, do you want this love or will you turn and trust in your worldly family? Think about it.

A Bridge Of Hope
Mark 9:36-37
K.P. Yohannan
Info
Message Summary
How do you see you're self in the eyes of God, as little children or as one needing to become one? We all have a need to be loved and taken care of and Jesus is able to do that, Jesus told a story that is repeated in three of the four gospels about taking a child in His arms. This story is asking you to be that child and to see others as little children who are seeking a father, the Father. So, are you being taught by the Holy Spirit as a little child or are you too old for that…, think about it.

Praying 101
1 John 5:13-15
Dave Row
Info
Message Summary
Do you believe that God hears you or do you just believe God does not want to hear from you? If God hears you do you really believe God will grant what you ask of Him? The Apostle John in 1 John 5, writes to us concerning having confidence that if we ask anything in His name (Jesus) He will hear us. Is that really true? John knows it to be and so can you. God wants you to know that He is available to you anytime and for any reason…, you just have to come and ask. So, as you think about this ask God to show you and you will see that God is able to do all things for you according to His will, but it all start with meeting, asking and believing in Him.

Sin, Death and Idols
1 John 5:16-21
Dave Row
Info
Message Summary
Sin affects us all and without the knowledge of God's word we would not know sin and be lost. John writes in chapter 5 concerning sin and how we are to understand sin and its nature. Sin all started with pride in Lucifer and in the disobeying of Eve and Adam but all sin can be dealt with by one simple act…, repentance. Are you in a state of sin or are you in the loving peace and care of Christ? God calls us to be set free from sin and live free. So will you accept God's gift or grace or will you hold onto what you think is right?

Rewind, Remember, Resolve
1 John 5:18-21
Dave Row
Info
Message Summary
Abiding in Christ will keep you from the wicked one for God wants us to understand Him and know that we are born of God. Are you born of God? Can you really say, I am His and He is mine? This is the confidence we have in Christ, that Jesus died and rose again by the will of God and in this we who believe are born of God. John writes to us in 1 John 5 concerning who we are in Christ and how we can and do know that we belong to God. So, have you learned that your faith overcomes the world or are you still looking to the things of the world and its wisdom to help you overcome? Know this, God is yours, you only need to ask and receive Christ, will you?

Character in Conflict - When Motives Collide
3 John
Dave Row
Info
Message Summary
How often do you spread the news of someone you know who is walking in Christ that is having a great impact on others to the strengthening of the faith of many? In Third John the elder Apostle gives us two great examples of men who have kept the faith in unselfishness, impacting many to Christ. But John also exposes a man who thinks of himself first instead of bringing Christ to light. These people are selfish, prideful and without wisdom, from these put yourself at distance. Do you spread the faith in humility putting the light on Christ or are you keeping the praise for yourself putting light on you?

Israel's Dark Hour
Ezekiel 8
Chip Lusko
Info
Message Summary
False thoughts, false worship, and false gods - in a vision from God, Ezekiel was brought face to face with the flagrant idolatry plaguing ancient Israel. It had crept into the temple of God and the hearts of His people, and their spiritual condition demanded radical action. Join us as we uncover the roots of idolatry and discover that its long shadow reaches into the church and even our own hearts.

The Conditional Clause for the Resurrection

Info
Message Summary
In an era of skepticism and doubt, the resurrection comes under continual attack, but it's not an issue exclusive to our culture and time.

Let's explore the evidence, and the consequences of this essential doctrine or our faith.

Message Summary
When the unrighteous prosper, it can be discouraging. Why does it seem like the bad guy next door never has any problems? When we struggle with self-pity, we may find that we have taken our eyes off the Lord and have set them squarely on our circumstances. Let's reconsider the fate of the ungodly as we regain an eternal perspective of a life apart from God.

Let's look at the Bible and find out whether the Jews are God's chosen people and why it matters.

Raul Ries

We often have a pretty good grasp of how fleeting time can be.

Eternal Life: The Deepest Yearning of the Human Heart
John 17:1-5
Sean McDowell
Info
Message Summary
There are different ways of knowing. We can know "that," and have an understanding of something; we can know "how," and experience something; and we can know "personally," and have a relationship with someone. In John 17:1-5 we will dissect a portion of Jesus' prayer to His Father, before being handed over to crucifixion. In this passage we learn that Jesus' suffering and death would reveal the glory, or character of His Father, and that through His death and resurrection, we can know God. Knowing God is intimate and personal, and by studying what it is to know God, we'll understand that eternal life comes from being in relationship with the only true God.

Message Summary
As a follower of Jesus, how are you representing God? In Numbers 20:1-13, the people contended with Moses and Aaron. They did not trust God and the leadership He appointed. Likewise, Moses and Aaron allowed their anger and frustration to control them. They rebelled against the Lord and misrepresented Him to the people. As we consider this text, we learn that as ambassadors for Christ, we must be gracious and submissive both in our leadership and in our following.

They took great measures—memorizing 4,000 laws before they could begin to write—to ensure it would be copied, pronounced, and interpreted precisely. Josh McDowell presents to us one of the rarest scrolls in the world, called the Lodz Torah Scroll, showing us that God will always provide the means for His sacred Word to be available to His church.

How to be a Hero of Faith
Hebrews 11
Robert Furrow
Info
Message Summary
In Hebrews 11, we read testimonies of men and women who demonstrated extraordinary faith. When God commanded them to do something, they obeyed. From their examples, we learn that in our weaknesses, we are made strong, faith requires courage to face difficulties, and obeying the Lord is about using the faith we have rather than the amount of faith we possess.

Your Life: an Epic Fail Compilation or an Epic Feat?
Genesis 37-50
Neil Ortiz
Info
Message Summary
Time and time again, Joseph encountered hardships that were not his doing: harsh treatment, betrayal, false accusation, and apathy. But Joseph was always mindful of God and remained obedient despite the unfairness he met. We learn it was his reverence of God that gave Him peace to get through every situation—and God raised him from a slave to the second in command over all of Egypt. His life seemed to be an epic fail, but as we study his reactions, we see how God turned his life into an epic feat.

How To Live The Blessed Life
Bob Shank

Message Summary
As we search the Scriptures to find out God's thoughts about generosity, we discover that we are called to make giving an integral part of our lives. Through two passages from both the Old and New Testament, we see how generosity is a call to obedience from the Lord as well as a demonstration of faith on our part. When we give generously, we become more and more like God as He blesses us, and the world can see that our God is alive and moving.

Truth Defined and Described
2 John
Brian Nixon

Info
Message Summary
When we think of the twelve apostles, we sometimes get the idea that they were an elite, holy group of men who effortlessly followed Jesus.

In this message, Pastor Nate Heitzig explains how God used even this ragtag group of men to radically change the world, showing that God wants to take us as we are and transform us so we can also impact the world.

Spring Cleaning
Romans 12:1-2
Chip Lusko
Info
Message Summary
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God” (Romans 12:1-2). “If we truly want God to reveal Himself to us and His purpose and plan for our lives, we need to be empty of our own agenda and set aside our own preconceived ideas. God will never force His way into our lives. His desire is to transform our hearts and renew our minds to reflect His character and wrapped in unselfish love towards one another. He cannot fill us with ‘Him-self’ and His attributes if we are already full of ‘our-self’.” —C.S. Lewis

A Moralist in Need of a Savior
Acts 10
Pancho Juarez

Being good—including being kind, moral, and even prayerful—does not make you right with God. Cornelius was good, even devout; however, God allowed his life to intersect with Peter, who shared the gospel with Cornelius. Pastor Pancho Juarez shares from Acts 10 about this first-ever Gentile conversion that eventually led to the gospel being spread throughout the world.

Carlos Whittaker
Info
Message Summary
Every faith story has its ups and downs, but the Christian life is so much more than our failed attempts to stop sinning; it's about believing our identity as a child of the living God. Carlos Whittaker explores the difference between trying to correct sinful patterns and uprooting the root sin. Freedom is not found in striving; freedom is found in surrender.

The Bible is the best-selling, most overlooked and underutilized book of all time. God didn't write it simply as a compilation of bedtime stories and coffee mug promises. The good news is that since God's Word is alive, if we slow down and listen, we can hear the pulse of God's Word, pointing us back to God Himself. After all, the Bible isn't about us; it's about Him.

There Is Room
Luke 7:36-50
Taylor Bronisz
Info
Message Summary
There is room for everyone at the feet of Jesus. When Jesus was eating at the house of Simon the Pharisee, a woman interrupted their dinner. Simon and his guests saw themselves as self-righteously superior to this woman and did not make room for her or truly welcome Jesus into their hearts. The woman, on the other hand, realized her desperate need for forgiveness and life change—and she left with a new identity and renewed future.

Making the Right Decision
Luke 16:19-31
Raul Ries
Info
Message Summary
The body of Christ loves people and wants every person to spend eternity in heaven rather than hell. In this teaching from Luke 16, Pastor Raul Ries invites us to consider the decisions we're making in our lives and ask, What should I be doing in life as I get closer to death? Seeking after God should be the number one priority in our lives, but in order to seek His kingdom we first must be in the kingdom—and that requires us to make a decision for Christ.
