Welcome to our Church Family 15th October 2017

God Loves Sex
Sex is a topic many find difficult to discuss in private let alone in a public forum and sadly the history of sex is littered with brokenness, hurt, criminality and pain. But, God created sex. Why did God create sex?
Think through this question in order to see where your thoughts lie, What type of world would we have if sex only occurred in marriage? A world of prudes and wowsers, resembling some 18th century caricature or a world of fun, joy, bliss and sexual passion.
Your thought process in going through that question will give you an insight into your own heart. God created sex to help us enjoy relationship with him and each other. He created sex for the loving creation and nurturing of children and he created sex to help society function according to his purposes.

Most support services which help with sexual disorders are not Christian. If you want a Christian perspective it is best to go through either Anglicare or a Christian psychologist at the CCAA website such as, https://www.bridgescounselling.com.au/christian-counselling/
