Jesus & Gender

Jesus & Gender

August 25, 2024 • RD McClenagan • Genesis 1:27

This Sunday, RD continues our series "Jesus &," using Genesis 1:27 to discuss the topic of gender. In this series, we have been exploring two opposing realities: the Kingdom of God, where we submit to God's authority, and the competing kingdom of the self, which emphasizes self-autonomy and self-actualization. Modern perspectives on gender and identity reflect this tension, asserting that identity is self-created and internally defined rather than being received from God. In contrast, the biblical view teaches that our identity is given by God and is rooted in a life surrendered to Him. These competing views on identity affect everyone, not just those who identify as transgender, and we all struggle with these conflicting kingdoms in our hearts. It's crucial to approach this topic with both clarity about biblical teachings and compassion for those navigating these challenges.
