In the book of Romans, Paul addresses how the people had exchanged the knowledge of God to instead worship man-made idols and foreign gods. Part of these forms of worship required men and woman to exchange their natural sexual orientations and o instead engage in same-sex behaviours as part of ritual practices. These passages have been used over time to condemn loving same-sex relationships. What Paul is addressing is going against our natural instincts whether same or opposite sex attracted, as a for, of worship and thus nullifying the worship of Yahweh God, the creator of all things.

God told Abraham "I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing". Fast forward to the book of Leviticus where God explains how the people of God would become a great nation. In Leviticus, we find a series of Laws designed to help the Israelites live in a way that glorifies God and set them apart from the other nations and religions of the time. Though some of these laws have been interpreted to condemn same-sex relationships, Pastor Becky takes us through a brief history of the culture at the time and explains how these laws were actually about worshipping false idols.

The story of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah has long time served as "evidence" for Christians to discriminate against the LGBTQIA+ community. However, through in-depth study of this passage, Pastor Becky sheds light on the true sins of Sodom: her inhospitality to outsiders and their pride and gluttony whilst the poor and needy suffered right outside her door.

"Remember Lot's Wife" - Luke 17:32
The coming of God's Kingdom is not fully here yet, but we can see that it's near. In Luke, Jesus reminds us that in this troubled world we need to keep moving forward, and not dwell on the past. The Cross before me, the world behind me, no turning back.

"Bethlehem was God with us; Calvary was God for us; and Pentecost is God in us.” - Robert Baer 

The receiving of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost gave the first followers of Christ the guidance and power to carry out the Great Commission, and just as Joel in the Old Testament prophesied, this gift of God's Spirit is still with followers today!
"In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people." Acts 2:17a

When Jesus taught us how to pray He was doing more than just giving us a few lines to repeat in the Lord's Prayer. Jesus teaches us how to have a meaningful prayer life, one that teaches us about God's divine nature and gives us insight into our own selves.
