Restoring Biblical Sexuality
Vaughan Roberts addresses the biblical understanding of sex and sexuality, exploring it through the lens of creation, fall, and redemption. He explains how God’s original design for human relationships has been distorted by sin, leading to confusion and brokenness in today’s culture. Roberts critiques the modern sexual revolution’s emphasis on self-expression and fulfillment, presenting Christ’s redemptive work as the true answer to these challenges. He calls on churches to embrace humility, compassion, and biblical truth, encouraging believers to point people toward Christ as the ultimate source of love and satisfaction. Through this session, Roberts highlights how our deep longing for intimacy ultimately reflects our need for a relationship with Jesus.
