God, Sex and Gender
Guest Speaker: Rev Dr Ng Liang Wei
Identity and gender are increasingly being defined by personal feelings and cultural trends. But what does God say about being male and female? Explore biblical perspectives on gender and learn how we can live out the unchanging truth of God’s word in our world today.
General Questions:
- The speaker shared that the overall story of the Bible tells of creation, fall, redemption and restoration. How has the fall affected our understanding of what it means to be male and female? What are the biological, psychological, social and spiritual impacts of the fall?
Perspective Questions:
- The speaker mentioned that there are indeed people who are struggling with intersex issue or gender dysphoria, even within the church. How will this change the way that you think and perceive these people when you meet people who are different from you? How can you “ache together” with this group?
Application Questions:
- After reflecting on this sermon, what are some practical steps that you can take as you journey with those who are struggling with various issues? How can you not be superficial with your words?
- How can the LG embrace and accept those who are different from the rest of the group?
