SERMON

START TIMER!!!

Last June, during what is now called LGBTQ+ Pride Month, a California congressman was fed up. His political opponents were pushing for legislation he believed was bigoted, hateful, and on the wrong side of history.

So he stood before the United States House of Representatives and said, "I just thought I would now recite for you what Jesus Christ said about homosexuality." And then he stood silently at the podium for twenty seconds, before returning to his seat. [1]

This sort of argument is far too common. When followers of Jesus submit to biblical teaching on gender, marriage, and sex we are told Jesus never even mentioned these topics. Therefore, Christians should get on the right side of history and stop resisting the LGBTQ+ Agenda.

There are three major problems with this argument:

First, silence doesn’t equal support. Just because Jesus didn’t explicitly mention an ethical issue doesn’t mean He supports it. Jesus never explicitly mentioned abortion, pornography, suicide, heroin addiction, and child abuse either. That doesn’t mean he supports any of those things we would rightly call evil.

Second, the entire Bible is the word of Christ. Not merely the red letters in your Bible. The Bible talks a lot about gender, marriage, and sex. And everything it teaches is Jesus’ Word for us.

But most importantly, it’s simply not true that Jesus didn’t talk about these issues.

Turn to Matthew 19

Last week we considered Jesus’ main point in this passage, which was to teach God’s design for marriage and divorce.

But as we examine Jesus’ words again this morning, we’ll see there is more going on here than meets the eye.

In these verses Jesus clearly upholds God’s original design for gender, marriage, and sex.

The Big Idea I hope you learn from today’s sermon is that the word of King Jesus is incompatible with the worldview of pride.

I realize that is a bold and serious claim. It is not a claim that I make lightly. It is a claim that puts us at odds with many of our neighbors, co-workers, and friends. It’s a claim that would lead many cultural elites to call us backwards bigots on the wrong side of history. It’s a claim, some would argue, which jeopardizes our desire to reach our community for Jesus. If you draw a line in the sand here, nobody will ever want to be a part of this church.

So we dare not say Jesus’ words are incompatible with the worldview of pride without very good reason.

So let’s begin by considering why Christianity is incompatible with the worldview of pride.

In our text we’ll examine...

Three Reasons:

1) Jesus affirms God’s design for gender

2) Jesus affirms God’s design for marriage

3) Jesus affirms God’s design for intimacy

Then we’ll conclude by discussing our response to Jesus’ teaching.

But let’s begin by examining how...

1) Jesus Affirms God’s Design for GENDER

Remember, the Pharisees were confronting Jesus with a sticky question about divorce. But in His response, Jesus tells us what He believes about gender...

Matthew 19:4—He answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female”

Thousands of years have passed since God created Adam and Eve.

Yet Jesus isn’t at all embarrassed about rooting His beliefs about gender in the beginning.

Quoting Genesis 1:27, Jesus affirms two truths about gender:

A) It’s determined by God, not self

I realize it’s incredibly popular, especially during graduation season, to tell people “you can be whatever you want to be” or “you can do whatever you set your mind to!” I respectfully disagree. You can set your mind on being a cardboard box or a butterfly, but that doesn’t change who or what you are!

That philosophy of self-identity has now been taken to it’s logical extremes. If you can be whoever or whatever you want to be, why draw the line at gender? You may have been born with a male body, but if you feel female on the inside you can be whoever you want to be! Nobody but you can say who you are!

King Jesus respectfully disagrees. It is God who created us male and female. It is God, not the self, who determines who we are.

Before you feel superior to those who believe they can determine their own gender, ask yourself in what ways do you try to determine your own identity. How are you tempted to say, “I am the only one who gets to decide who I am!”

The more you clamor for the freedom to be whoever you want to be, the more a slave you become. Like a train wanting to be free from his tracks, or a kite wanted to be free from her string, or a fish wanting to be free from water. Whenever we try to determine who we are apart from Christ, our hopes for freedom eventually become a prison.

Jesus affirms God’s design for gender by reminding us that it is God who determines who we are. But also, Jesus says gender is...

B) It’s a binary, not a spectrum

For most of human history, people have understood that gender is a binary. You’re either male or female.

But the culture of pride insists gender is a spectrum, with many gender possibilities.

Just a few years ago the British Broadcasting Corporation produced a series of nine educational films aimed at children ages 9-12 teaching there are “100, if not more” gender identities. [2]

That belief change—what we call a worldview—has resulted has resulted in a massive behavior change among Americans. Especially American young people.

A decade ago only 1 in 10,000 young people sought medical intervention because they felt like their body didn’t match their gender identity. But in the last decade, those numbers have increased by over 1,000 percent in the United States and 4,000 percent in Britain. [3]

Consider, in contrast, the teaching of Jesus.

Jesus clearly teaches gender is a binary, not a spectrum.

Jesus says we have been created “male and female”

Yes, gender has been corrupted by Adam and Eve’s sin. Men sometimes use their power to abuse and control the weak. Women sometimes use their beauty to seduce and manipulate. But the fact that gender differences are sometimes abused doesn’t make them irrelevant. Thousands of years after the Fall, Jesus is still clinging to gender as a binary.

By the way, this doesn’t mean every boy or girl must express their gender in the same way. Some girls like princesses and wearing dresses, some don’t. Some boys like football, others like art. The way we express our gender can vary from person to person.

Consider Jacob and Esau in Genesis 25. They were twin brothers, but they couldn’t have been more different. Esau was a hairy wild-game hunting “man’s man” who really bonded with his dad. Jacob was content to stay at home and hang out with his mom. The Bible doesn’t praise or condemn either one as the appropriate expression of masculinity.

Young person: the fact that you’re different from other boys or girls your age doesn’t mean God made a mistake when He made you! He created us male and female, and your gender is a gift!

Parents: be careful not to mimic the world’s beliefs about gender. If you care more about your son’s sporting abilities than his sacrificial love for others, your view of masculinity is being shaped more by the culture than by the Scriptures! [4]

The word of King Jesus is incompatible with the worldview of pride because Jesus affirms God’s design for gender.

But also...

2) Jesus Affirms God’s Design for MARRIAGE

In verses 5-6, Jesus continues His answer to the Pharisees. And in His response, He tells us what He believes about marriage...

19:5-6—...‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.

Again, Jesus does not take His beliefs about marriage from the culture.

He doesn’t interpret the Scripture through the lens of His culture, He interprets His culture through the lens of the Scriptures.

Quoting Genesis 2:24, Jesus affirms three truths about marriage:

A) It’s between a man and a woman, not anyone else

Notice Jesus says “a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife.”

Some reply, “Jesus is referencing the most common family, not the only possible family!”

The problem with this argument is that you will not find one single reference to homosexual marriage in the entire Bible.

Yes, you will find perversions of God’s design for marriage in Scripture (we’ll get to one in a second), but Jesus doesn’t look to those perversions as examples of what a marriage should be. He goes to God’s original design.

“Well if Jesus cared about same-sex marriage, why didn’t He specifically condemn it?”

Because it’s far easier to explain clearly what marriage IS than to condemn every possible perversion of marriage.

In 2007, a Tennessee man married his guitar. [5]

In 2010, a South Korean man married his favorite pillow. [6]

In 2013, an environmental activist in Argentina married a tree. [7]

Humans are creative sinners. Instead of refuting all the ways we rebel against our Creator, the Scriptures often just tell us what God requires. Jesus does the same thing here by telling us that marriage is a heterosexual union.

But also, Jesus says marriage...

B) It’s monogamous, not polygamous

Twice Jesus says that in marriage, “the two... become one.”

The most popular perversion of marriage in the Bible (and in human history!) is polygamy.

Jesus could have pointed to polygamous marriages either in Scripture or in His world as examples of marriage. But He doesn’t do that. He goes back to God’s original design.

Some reply, “Well if polygamy is wrong why is there so much polygamy in the Scriptures?”

Why doesn’t the Bible condemn men like Abraham, Jacob, Moses, Gideon, David, and Solomon for their polygamy?

It helps to remember that sometimes the Bible is descriptive and other times it’s prescriptive.

When the Bible is being prescriptive, it’s telling us what to do. Like Jesus’ words here that tell a husband not to divorce His wife for any reason.

When the Bible is being descriptive, it’s simply telling us what happened. Like the story of Judas killing himself. The Bible isn’t telling us to follow in his footsteps it’s just telling us what happened.

Whenever the Bible presents polygamy, it’s doing so descriptively not prescriptively. It’s not telling you to go and do likewise. It’s telling you what happened.

By the way, polygamy is never pretty in the Scriptures...

The jealous feud between Abraham’s wives Hagar & Sarah led to abuse, abandonment and war.

David had 8 wives, and the rivalries among his many children included incestuous rape, murder, and an attempted coup.

Solomon's 1000 wives led him into idolatry and the kingdom into ruin

The Bible goes to great lengths to show us how destructive life can be when we pervert God’s design.

And God’s design for marriage is monogamy.

But also, Jesus says marriage...

C) It’s a covenant, not a contract

19:6b—...What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.

We’re not going to revisit what we discussed last week, except to say this:

Many of you are rightly frustrated and perhaps even disgusted by the ways gender, marriage, and sex are being perverted in our world today. But before we look down on the world in anger, let us first look in the mirror.

The sexual revolution in our culture began with a marriage revolution. And that revolution didn’t begin when the Supreme Court legalized so-called same-sex marriage in 2015. The marriage revolution began in 1970 with the legalization of no-fault divorce. And far too many Christians have casually adopted the culture’s view of marriage as a contract.

As long as things work out, marriage is great! But if you don’t satisfy all my desires, if you make me angry, if I find somebody else better than I can get out of the relationship!

If we’re going to insist on following Jesus’ teaching on marriage, we can’t pick and choose the parts we like. We must take all of it!

The word of King Jesus is incompatible with the worldview of pride because Jesus affirms God’s design for marriage.

3) Jesus Affirms God’s Design for INTIMACY

In verse 7, the Pharisees push back on Jesus’ narrow beliefs about marriage. But Jesus stands His ground. And in His response, He tells us something important about sexual intimacy...

19:9—And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery.

From Jesus’ words here we learn two truths about sexual intimacy...

A) It’s a gift to be stewarded, not a god to be worshipped

One of the most common slogans in our culture is “if it feels good, do it.” In the worldview of pride, not acting on your sexual desires and feelings is a great evil. The worst people (according to many) are those who would seek to repress those desires.

Few people articulate this worldview better than Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood. In her view, sexual liberation is “the only method” by which we can find “inner peace and security and beauty.” She continues, “Through sex, mankind may attain the great spiritual illumination which will transform the world,which will light up the only path to an earthly paradise.” [8]

In this worldview, which was inherited by the culture of pride, sex becomes a god to be worshipped.

Jesus teaches something radically different.

In His teaching on divorce, He mentions “sexual immorality” as a covenant-breaking sin that makes divorce permissible.

Remember the words “sexual immorality” in our English Bible is one word in the original language. It’s the Greek word “porneia,” which was a junk drawer term used to describe various kinds of unsanctioned sexual activity. [9]

In Jesus’ day this word was used to refer to any sexual behavior outside of marriage, including premarital sex, prostitution, adultery, and same-sex behavior. [10]

So King Jesus believes sexual intimacy is not a free-for all. It’s not a god to be worshipped. It’s a gift to be stewarded.

Perhaps you feel by denying your desires you are denying a part of yourself. That may be true. But the truth is, all of us have desires we deny every single day. The question is are we denying the wrong desires or the right ones?

The late Tim Keller helpfully illustrated it this way: “Imagine an Anglo-Saxon warrior in Britain in AD 800. He has two very strong inner impulses and feelings. One is aggression. He loves to smash and kill people when they show him disrespect. Living in a shame-and-honor culture with its warrior ethic, he will identify with that feeling. He will say to himself, That’s me! That’s who I am! I will express that. The other feeling he senses is same-sex attraction. To that he will say, That’s not me. I will control and suppress that impulse. Now imagine a young man walking around Manhattan today. He has the same two inward impulses, both equally strong, both difficult to control. What will he say? He will look at the aggression and think, This is not who I want to be, and will seek deliverance in therapy and anger-management programs. He will look at his sexual desire, however, and conclude, That is who I am.” [11]

What do we learn from this thought experiment? We instinctively know we cannot follow our hearts alone to determine who we are and what we should do. So we look to someone or something else. The unbeliever often looks to his culture to decide which desires to suppress and which to cultivate. The Christian looks to the Scriptures!

Jesus affirms God’s design for intimacy by reminding us it is a gift to be stewarded. But also, Jesus says intimacy...

B) It’s guarded by covenant, not consent

The truth is, nearly everybody (including the LGBTQ+ community) believes there are some limits on what sort of intimacy is permissible. Nobody really believes everyone should act on all their desires. As a culture we’ll even arrest and imprison people who cross certain lines sexually.

The question is not, is there a line but where is the line?

According to the worldview of pride, the only line that matters is consent. As long as our intimacy is consensual, it’s moral.

Once again, Jesus teaches something radically different.

We’ll look at verses 10-12 in greater detail next week, but for now just notice how Jesus responds when the disciples ask what the alternative is to Jesus’ narrow view of marriage and divorce.

19:10-12—The disciples said to him, “If such is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry.” But he said to them, “Not everyone can receive this saying, but only those to whom it is given. For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let the one who is able to receive this receive it.”

Sam Allberry summarizes Jesus’ teaching this way: “When the disciples raise the possibility of not getting married, Jesus talks to them about being eunuchs. As far as he is concerned, that is the only godly alternative to marriage.” [12]

Are you honoring Jesus with your sexuality? Whether you’re married or single, young or old there is only one standard for intimacy. It is only safe within the marriage covenant. The only way to honor Jesus with your sex life outside of marriage is celibacy.

The word of King Jesus is incompatible with the worldview of pride because Jesus affirms God’s design for intimacy.

It’s not enough to understand why Christianity is incompatible with the worldview of pride we also need to respond to Jesus’ teaching.

So let’s conclude by considering...

Our Response:

… to Jesus’ teaching here.

Let’s examine four spheres where you and I must respond.

First, we must respond...

1) As Individuals

There may be some in this room who are personally struggling in one or more of the areas we’ve discussed today:

Maybe you’re wrestling with feelings of gender confusion. For one reason or another, you feel like your body doesn’t match who you feel like you are.

Maybe you’re tempted by same-sex attraction.

Maybe you have sinned in your sex life. You’ve taken this gift reserved exclusively for marriage and given it to someone who is not your spouse.

What should you do?

1 Corinthians 6:9-10—Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

That is horrible news! There’s not a person on the planet who isn’t condemned by one or more of the sins on this list!

The truth is, everyone north of puberty has sinned sexually in one way or another. Either in thought, word, or deed.

Is there any hope? The passage continues...

1 Corinthians 6:11—And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

Unbeliever: repent and trust Jesus!

Christian: repent and return to Jesus!

There may also be some in this room who are personally tempted to celebrate some of these things that God’s Word condemns.

Maybe you have friends or family members who embrace this lifestyle and you can’t bring yourself to believe something that condemns people you love.

Maybe you’re being pressured at work to get in line on this issue and you’re just tired of resisting.

If that’s you, hear this warning from God’s Word:

Romans 1:26-28, 32—For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error. And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. . . . Though they know God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.

Christian, you cannot celebrate what God condemns. It may feel unloving to call this behavior sinful, but it’s not. The truth is, rejecting the Bible’s teaching here is what’s truly unloving.

If it’s unloving to label a poison bottle “medicine,” it’s even more unloving to label what God calls “sin” as beautiful and good.

If you’re not a Christian, this might be the thing that turns you off from Christianity for good. You cannot possibly imagine joining a community that is so exclusive. But I’d encourage you not to reject Jesus and His church simply because it feels exclusive.

Tim Keller suggests a far better way to test whether or not a community is truly exclusive: “Which community has beliefs that lead its members to treat persons in other communities with love and respect—to serve them and meet their needs? Which community’s beliefs lead it to demonize and attack those who violate their boundaries rather than treating them with kindness, humility, and winsomeness? We should criticize Christians when they are condemning and ungracious to unbelievers. But we should not criticize churches when they maintain standards for membership in accord with their beliefs. Every community must do the same.” [13]

Either we will follow Jesus, rejecting the worldview of pride, or we will reject Jesus, embracing the worldview of pride.

How will you respond individually?

But we also must respond...

2) As Families

Parents, please teach your children. Talk to them about gender, marriage, and sex at age-appropriate levels.

I grew up in a fairly prudish home where these things simply were not talked about. I remember my dad talking with me about the birds and the bees when I was 18 or 19 . Now that I have my own kids, I think I know why my dad waited so long. It’s awkward and difficult!

But here’s the problem with delaying these conversations: you may thing you’re shielding your kids but you’re probably not.

The average age of first exposure to pornography is between 11 and 12. 73% of teenagers admit viewing it before the age of 17. [14]

By failing to talk through this stuff with your children, you are creating a vacuum that the enemy would love to fill with lies.

If you need help knowing how to talk to your kids, please talk to me after the service and I’ll happily recommend some resources that may help.

Parents, please guard your children from the dangers of social media.

A recent report by ABC News suggests teenagers on TikTok are exposed to harmful conduct on topics like eating disorders, weight-shaming, self-harm, sexual assault, and suicide every 27 to 39 seconds. [15]

The U.S. Surgeon General recently warned lawmakers that social media could pose “profound risk of harm to young people’s mental health.” [16]

But as troubling as these reports are, they pale in comparison to one of the most dangerous effects of social media. In her book Irreversible Damage, Abigail Shrier documents in detail the “more than a dozen social media sites and online forums that facilitate the discovery of a trans identity. YouTube, Instagram, Tumblr, Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, DeviantArt, and TikTok are all popular hubs” for encouraging children to be trans. [17]

Mom, dad, do you know what your children are accessing on the internet? What safeguards have you put in place to protect your children?

We must respond in our families. But also we must respond...

3) In the Church

PBC Members, we must cling to the truth!

Not many miles from here you can visit so-called churches that are eagerly celebrating Pride Month this June. How did they get there? I think I can say with confidence that 100 years ago none of these churches would’ve celebrated homosexuality or transgenderism or polygamy. What happened? They didn’t drive to church one Sunday and decide to change what they believed. They drifted, one week at a time.

Our job as individual members is to cling to the Scriptures so we do not drift!

Let me just remind you what we believe as a church on this issue:

PBC Statement of Faith—We believe God created people in His own image as uniquely male and female. . . . Because we are made uniquely male and female, gender is a gift that is fundamental to human existence, with maleness and femaleness being an unchangeable characteristic congruent with human embodiment. . . . While God calls some to singleness (without loss of personhood, dignity, or contributive capability), heterosexual monogamy is God’s design for men and women in marriage. We will not participate in and/or recognize marriages that deviate from God’s design. Any sexual activity before or outside of God’s design for marriage is sinful. Homosexual behavior, same-sex attraction, gender dysphoria and any gender expressions incongruent with one’s biological sex are results of the Fall to be redeemed through the Gospel and the power of the Holy Spirit.

Even as we cling to these truths, we must also be ready and willing to welcome those whom God is saving out of the LGBTQ+ community.

Holly and I recently read a book called Transgender to Transformed, about a young lady named Laura Perry. She was raised in a strict Christian home, but when she reached adulthood she decided to transition to a man and call herself Jake. She had top surgery and took testosterone to try to look more masculine. But in the end she saw the emptiness of that lifestyle and repented of her sins and trusted in Jesus. What encouraged me so much by her story was how welcoming her church was as the Lord drew her to Himself. Due to the so-called gender-affirming treatment she received, she is infertile and flat-chested, her voice is masculine and she now has to shave every day. And yet her church loved her. [18]

PBC, are we ready and willing to love these image-bearers of God?

Studies suggest 41 percent of transgender men and women attempt suicide at some point. But suicide attempts increase nearly five times after transitioning. [19]

Are we ready to love them to Jesus when they find out there’s no happiness at the end of the rainbow? Or are we so busy fighting a culture war that we’re forgetting to love the people in our lives? Do we think of these men, women, and children as combatants or captives?

I think Andrew Walker is right when he says “a transgender person ought to feel more loved and safe visiting a Bible-believing church than in any other place in the world!” [20]

Are we ready as a church to welcome a repentant man or woman whom God has saved out of a life of homosexuality or transgenderism? To treat them as precious and beautiful, not as freaks?

We need to be, because where else can these men and women go?

Finally, we must respond...

4) In the Community

Rather than trying to fix the problem nationally or globally, let me suggest a far more realistic goal: impact your workplace, your neighborhood, and your city.

Maybe you can impact your community by having conversations with those in your circle of influence about what you believe and why.

By the way, when you come across an unbeliever who agrees with you on this issue, don’t simply celebrate in an echo chamber together. Ask them, “Why do you believe that? What standard do you use to determine what is or isn’t morally ethical?” Then tell them why your standard is the Bible and point them to Jesus!

Maybe you can impact your community by leaning into the public square.

Go to school board meetings or city council meetings.

Get more engaged in the political process when these issues arise.

Use your gifts to serve your community as a leader in one or more of these areas.

Maybe you can impact your community by loving and serving young people.

Nearly 21% of Generation Z identifies as LGBT, more than every other generation combined. [21]

How many of those young people are just looking for love and acceptance? And what might they do differently if they could find that kind of love and acceptance from followers of Jesus in their neighborhood?

Yes, the Word of the King is incompatible with the worldview of pride.

But that’s not the end of the story.

King Jesus does not merely speak against the evils in our culture. He died as if He had committed the evils in our culture. On the cross, He is treated as if He had committed the vilest sins that our culture celebrates. He died to pay the penalty for sins that our culture even shudders to imagine.

But three days later, Jesus rose from the dead so that whoever turns from their sin and trusts in Him can have eternal life.

Unbeliever: whether you’re gay, straight, or transgender you are still a sinner separated from God. Your salvation won’t be found in embracing or rejecting the culture. Your hope can only be found in Christ.

Christian: if your faith is in Jesus, you must follow Him. Even when it puts you at odds with the entire world around you. Even when you’re told you’re on the wrong side of history, you cling to Jesus and Jesus alone.

Christ, the sure and steady Anchor While the tempest rages on When temptation claims the battle And it seems the night has won Deeper still then goes the Anchor Though I justly stand accused I will hold fast to the Anchor It shall never be removed

Prayer of Thanksgiving

Christ The Sure And Steady Anchor

Benediction (1 Thessalonians 3:12-13)
