Special thanks to Rev. Doug Serven as I borrowed extensively from his writing on this chapter.

Sermon helps: Rev. Doug Serven, Dr. Ralph Davis, Tim Keller

We begin the semester with an overview that leads up to the book of Judges and sets us up for what is to come. My resources for this semester (I hereby claim to have to original thoughts!) are Doug Serven, Dr. Ralph Davis, Dr. John Currid, Dr. Tim Keller, and I'm sure others as I come across them.

This special lecture was hosted on the TU campus by RUF, BCM, Chi Alpha, and the Wesley Foundation.

Heavy reference to a sermon from a friend of mine, Rev. Matt Howell with RUF at Univ. of Tennessee

Tonight we focus on singleness, celibacy and same-sex attraction to the glory of God. The Bible talks about things that may appear to be "curses" as gifts. Confusing? Let him show you how!. Let's help one another unwrap these gifts as we limp toward glory together. Several of the controlling thoughts in this passage come from a sermon preached by Rev. Scott Sauls of Christ Pres, in Nashville, TN.

tonight we explore themes of sexual immorality, sexual brokenness, and the grace of Jesus which washes our sin away.
