Holy Sexuality & Jesus Pt. 2

Pastor Jeff Vines examines the biblical concept of "porneia" (sexual immorality), explaining it refers to any violation of God's design for sex outside chastity in singleness or faithfulness in marriage—whether adultery, incest, homosexuality, lust, or pornography. He argues that elevating sex above God turns it into an idol, and that consent between two people does not make a sinful act righteous, while affirming that all forms of sexual sin are equally serious before God.

Drawing on Scripture including 1 Corinthians 6, Romans 6 and 8, and Hebrews 4 and 12, Vines distinguishes between struggling with temptation and repenting versus living in unrepentant sin, stressing that Christians are no longer slaves to sin through Christ. He shares a personal, emotional account of a woman choosing to pursue a same-sex relationship against biblical teaching, using it to challenge the idea that feelings determine truth, while urging compassion, accountability, and reliance on God's grace and Spirit to fight ongoing battles with sin.
