Overview

How God’s household treats homosexuals can have eternal consequences. In this three-session course, we learn that God transforms us through our struggles. The road to change is a slow, but worth the effort. As God’s ambassadors, we need to learn to express our own weaknesses so that others will learn to trust us. Finally, we need to give God room to work, because only he can truly change someone.

Session One

God Transforms Us Through Our Struggles
The road to change is a slow, but certain, process.
2 Samuel 12:11; Psalm 51; Lamentations 3:32–33; Acts 26:17–18; Romans 5:1–5; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Philippians 4:7; 2 Peter 1:3–11

This three-lesson study is meant to be a bridge to more in-depth training and preparation for impacting the homosexual community with the love of Christ. This study examines how God produces change in us.

Session Two

You Are God’s Ambassador
As we express our weaknesses, others will learn to trust us.
Romans 3:9–18; 1 Corinthians 2:1–5; 6:9–11; 2 Corinthians 5:13–20; Hebrews 4:12; 2 Peter 1:3–11; 1 John 3:18

It is important that we, as Christians have clarity on the issue of sexual sin, allowing God to be God—the author and finisher of our faith and the supreme architect of his plan for redemption in Jesus Christ.

Session Three

Let God Produce Change
We need to have the courage to let God do the hard work of change in someone’s life.
Matthew 18:15–19; Luke 18:7–8; 1 Corinthians 5; Hebrews 12:4–5; Revelation 3:15–16

God gives us a first-century example of a similar moral crisis in 1 Corinthians 5. Paul makes a topic that we choose to call confusing and problematic quite clear.
