===========

In his sermon "A New Sexual Revolution," Luke Humbrecht boldly and sensitively addresses the topic of sexuality in the Christian context. He begins with a call to pray over the current conflict in the Middle East. Then he draws the congregation’s attention to church donations for the development of a soccer field at Eagle Church in Guacochi, Mexico. The project is meant to serve as an avenue for sharing the Gospel. Following these opening updates, Luke pivots to the core theme of the sermon which is sex. He acknowledges the discomfort that often accompanies discussions of sex in the church environ and emphasizes the need for a safe, non-judgmental space to talk about sexual matters. Luke acknowledges that the church often projects a debased view of sex without effectively communicating a healthy, God-honoring perspective. He argues that sex, as a gift from God, should be enjoyed within committed relationships. He further identifies certain apparent deviations from God’s design for sex such as modern hookup culture, pornography, and unwed cohabitation. He encourages the congregation towards a higher sexual ethic that is inclusive of dignity, virtue, and discipline. The sermon also tackles issues of identity and sexual desires, with the Pastor emphasizing that it is Christ, not individual desires or actions, that define one's identity. Wrapping up, the sermon calls for a new kind of sexual revolution anchored in the love, truth, and grace of Christ. Luke encourages believers to foster a counter-culture based on love and acceptance, where healthy God-honoring relationships can thrive, free from shame. This emblematic sermon addresses the biblical view of sex and challenges the congregation and wider community to engage with the topic in an open and understanding manner. It advises believers to seek divine guidance in their lives while also affirming others in their journey. It thereby sets the stage for continued conversation on the often touchy matter of sex in the religious context.
