Sexuality & Singleness

Sacred by Design

We hope by now you’ve come to expect the unexpected from Sacred by Design. Sexuality and Singleness is what we are talking about today!
That being said, many of you might assume the life of a single, Christian woman means numbing and suppressing desires.
Being single doesn’t just mean not having sex. There is so much more. Are you willing to give God the space, as you listen to this podcast, to embrace a different perspective about your sexuality in your singleness?
Acknowledge the sad, angry, frustrated feelings.
Make space for the struggle in it.
And, then consider bringing it all to Jesus in exchange for all He has just for you.
Highlights:
God wants you to be able to express how you’re feeling. He’s not expecting you to dampen it and push your desires down. He wants all of you. Bring it all to Him.
Jesus wants to be with you as we feel your feelings. He doesn’t want to turn you away.
Hebrews 4:15-16 “For we do not have a High Priest who is unable to sympathize and understand our weaknesses and temptations, but One who has been tempted [knowing exactly how it feels to be human] in every respect as we are, yet without [committing any] sin. Therefore let us [with privilege] approach the throne of grace [that is, the throne of God’s gracious favor] with confidence and without fear, so that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find [His amazing] grace to help in time of need [an appropriate blessing, coming just at the right moment].”
God has created you and empowered you to be able to know how to steward your sexual desires. Do you believe that? Can you start praying for that?
Paul Tripp - “Each pleasurable thing was perfectly created and designed to reflect and point to the greater glory of the one who created it."
Are you willing to come to the Lord with open hands and say, “I want Your best for me, whatever that looks like.”
“Our identity as people is not dependent upon whether or not we have sex. To be fully human is not to have sex but to fully know and love others like Christ.” Rescue Plan: Charting a Course to Restore Prisoners of Pornography; Deepak Reju and Jonathan Holmes.
