  • Honor God with Your Bodies: Sermon

    This week we continue our Lent sermon series, "Deny Yourself: The cost of following Jesus." In this series, we're looking at what it means to say "No" to the disordered desires in our lives so we can say "Yes" to the transforming work God wants to do in our lives.

    This sermon looks at how our sexuality has been disordered by sin and why we need to deny ourselves in this area so we can follow the way of Jesus.
