SUMMARY:A Gospel Shaped Life
DESCRIPTION:Normally\, when we begin to think about our sexuality\, especial in the context of same sex attractions\, we are met with two messages. The first message tells you that if you pray hard enough\, if you exercise some greater faith\, or meet this powerful man of God\, then you are assured to get rid of your same sex attractions. This message has sometimes led many to despair since after they have done what was proposed\, their same sex attractions not only remained but became stronger.  One is then left disillusioned not sure what is wrong with them. \nThe second message that you will often receive is to stop denying yourself (that even pastors were doing ‘it’) and look for a sexual/romantic satisfaction with another person of the same sex. Those who have followed this have sometimes ended up shipwrecking their faith. \nThe Gospel is good news. It is good news to all people. It is good news even to use who experience same sex attractions. Even with all the messages that we receive\, the one message we should seek to hold dear is the one about who God says we are and he has done\, is doing and will do in our lives. Our hope is that through this sharing is that: \n\nWe can be encouraged to see ourselves in view of God’s larger story as revealed in the\n\nscriptures. \n\nWe can be challenged to hold convictions that are in line with God’s word.\nWe can be inspired to live authentically while still holding to Biblical convictions especially in regard to sexual integrity/holiness.\nWe can be invited to see the gospel as good news for us too.\n\nOur speaker Dr. Wesley Hill is renowned speaker\, writer and teacher.  He is the author of Washed and Waiting: Reflections on Christian Faithfulness and Homosexuality\, Paul and the Trinity: Persons\, Relations\, and the Pauline Letters\, Spiritual Friendship: Finding Love in the Church as a Celibate Gay Christian\, and The Lord’s Prayer: A Guide to Praying to Our Father . He is a contributing editor for Comment magazine\, he writes regularly for Christianity Today\, The Living Church\, and other publications. \nJoin us on 30th January 2026\, 9pm-10:30pm EAT on Zoom. \nRegister to receive the zoom details. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScO7-utR2o3hqIpfbx2wH78oNEPTeinPcSo6qOlPPkSIslQEw/viewform?usp=publish-editor \n  \n  \n
