The Early Church Was Distinct In Their Sexuality

Many look at today's "sexual revolution" as modern progress, but historical reality shows it is actually a regression to the ancient, self-serving norms of the Roman Empire. In the first century, sex was treated as a mere physical appetite, often exploiting those without social status. The early church turned this on its head by presenting a revolutionary, counter-cultural sexual ethic that elevated women, demanded mutual respect, and honored sex as a sacred spiritual union. In this final message, we explore how reclaiming a distinctly Christian view of intimacy protects human dignity and reflects the self-sacrificing love of Christ.
