You can watch the full testimony of Rosaria Butterfield that was shown in Sunday school before the panel spoke here. While we disagree with Rosaria's use of the incorrect pronoun ("she") regarding her biologically male friend who claims to be a woman and the team had a few other disagreements, there is still much to learn about her journey to Christ and how she was so faithfully evangelized by a pastor and his wife.

The teaching team covers the middle of Romans 11 which deals with the Jewish people largely being cut off from the Messiah while the Gentiles are brought into the church.

This message was given to a group of teachers at Westminster Christian Academy on January 3rd. It relies heavily on Carl Trueman's material from The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self. The shorter version of this book is titled Strange New World and Trueman's lecture series begins here.

The teaching team discusses how Sodom and Gomorrah is often wrongly dismissed in the whole conversation regarding homosexuality in the Bible. While it isn't the primary passage to turn to, it is certainly still relevant to the discussion. They also discuss how our culture is drifting rapidly on this issue. Children are being deliberately targeted and even some leading professing Christian voices are leaning the wrong way on these important issues.

The teaching team look at the opening verses of Romans 11 and see where Paul goes in his discussion of God's faithfulness to Israel in Romans 9-11.

It is certainly true that Romans 1:26-27 is the most important passage in all of Scripture on the topic of homosexuality. The Apostle Paul, writing under the inspiration of God's Spirit, addresses in no uncertain terms all same-sex sexual activity. Let us have ears to hear what is written.

Paul does not lose heart despite his many afflictions. He explains that this is possible if we will fix our eyes on what is unseen. He then goes on to explain that all suffering is for the believer's good, that at death we are with the Lord which is far better than life here, and that ultimately we will be resurrected with an eternal body that cannot break down. In light of all this, we should be of good courage!
