Can a Christian be gay or *trans?

Creekside Community Church of Elizabeth

Join us live at Creekside Community Church for a thought-provoking and sensitive discussion in our ongoing series, "Can a Christian...?" Today's sermon, led by Pastor Luke, delves into the complex and personal topics of being gay or trans within the Christian faith and whether or not Christians can support those who are. With a focus on scripture and a heart for understanding, we'll explore what the Bible says about gender, sexuality, and the nature of unconditional love. We approach this topic with the utmost respect and delicacy, understanding its personal significance to many. Our discussion is framed within the context of Christian life and beliefs, guided by 1 Corinthians 5:9-13 and Matthew 7:3-5, reminding us to look inward before judging others. In today’s sermon, we will explore: The biblical perspective on gender and sexuality, referencing Genesis 2:21-25, Matthew 19:3-6, and 1 Corinthians 6:9-11. The meaning and implications of identifying as gay or experiencing same-sex attraction.. The Christian understanding of gender identity, including the concepts of social, hormonal, and surgical transition, in light of Deuteronomy 22:5. The distinction between unconditional love and unconditional approval. This service promises to be a time of deep reflection, learning, and understanding as we navigate these important questions together. Tune in to our livestream to be part of this vital conversation.
