The New Line up of Reality:
Temptation Island
Gen. 39:6b-12
(Joseph was pure)
What comes to mind when you hear these two words:
Gun (kill, hunting, bullets,danger)
Sex (dirty, rude, perveted, out of place)
B/c of time ppl have taken these words and gave them different meaning
It doesn't matter how safe you make sex it still will end up hurting you.
We don't honor the gift- We hold the greatest gift we can give to our husband/wife on our wedding day
Sex is a gift from God for husband & wife
I) Refuse to be sexually involved until marriage
(39:7 Joseph refused=a strong decline towards something)
Teen sex has gone down b/c we have justify what sex is.
Not just saying no to sex, but saying no to everything
II) Consider the Furture
We havwe to honore God with everything we are. They only thing we are tempted by are things that are joyful.
Ppl can mess up with one bad choice
How will this affect our furture?
Are you going to liek the reactions to your actions?
Consequences of Sexual Immorality
a) Hinders your relationship w/ God and makes you unusable
b) Hinders your relationship w/ the other person
When we do it God's way God will bless us
1)Breaks down communication
2)Creates mistrust
3)Lose Respect
4)Produces bitterness
5)Loss of spiritual dimension
c) Robs you of your personal peace (I peter 2:11b)
III)Eliminate Temptation
(we keep doing the same thing. Quiet doing the thing that keep you in sin)
When u are in a relationship and it's unpure you must end it
*Usely the right answer is the hardest thing to do
VI) Run for your life
When your all alone that's when things happen (with a guy/girl)
(Joseph found heat in the moment)
No matter where you are God knows what happen
God knows when you runaway
God knows when you gave in
1 cor 10:13
We need to honor God
Men with Men and Woman with Woman are wrong
We live in a sinful world (Ex: Superbowl)
*Lady if you want to be respected for you and not what you got then stop dressing the way you do
* Guys protect your sister in christ
Cassie's Words: Relationship are something that take up a lot of time. It's very tiring at time. But God has made us to want to be with someone. So being in a relationship isn't wrong if you treat it the way God wants it.
