Male and Female He Created Them

Introduction

Main idea: Trust God’s good plan and Christ’s redeeming work to be faithful and flourish as male or female.

1. Trust your Creator-King’s good plan.
   “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female” - Matthew 19:4
   “Good and upright is the LORD” - Psalm 25:8
   “You are good and do good” - Psalm 119:68
2. Rely on God’s definition of male and female.
   Genesis 2:18, 2:24-25
3. Understand the corruption of sin.
   Genesis 2:17
   Romans 1:21-32
4. Seek Christ to redeem gender.
   1 Corinthians 6:9-11
   John 4
5. Track (follow) God’s direction for gender.
   1 Thessalonians 4:1-5
   
   • Repent of sexual coveting.
   • Fighting temptation: Pursue God and activity that is biblically wholesome.
   • Flourishing: Search out someone 10 years older.
