In this final message of our five-week series, Pastor Mike opens the Bible to walk through five of the most common questions people are still asking after weeks one through four.\nIn this message we tackle:\n1. Why do so many Christians treat LGBTQ people worse than others?\n2. Who am I to judge?\n3. How can LGBTQ people lead fulfilling lives?\n4. Can LGBTQ people go to heaven?\n5. If I'm LGBTQ, what should I do?\nAlong the way, we look at what Jesus actually taught about judgment in Matthew 7, what Paul lists alongside sexual sin in Romans 1 and 1 Corinthians 6, and what John says about repentance, belief, and life as a real Christian in 1 John 1 and 3. We also push back on a uniquely modern American idea — that romance and family are the only real sources of love — and recover the Bible's rich vision of friendship, singleness, and Christian community.\nWhether you're walking this road yourself, loving someone who is, or just trying to think clearly as a Christian in a divided culture, our prayer is that this message helps you hold onto the truth of God's Word and the grace of Jesus at the same time.\nNew here? This is week 5 of 5. Catch the full series on our channel — the earlier weeks lay the foundation for everything we cover today.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/SmcptMfUFUmVjlIkwETl_QbE0AQZxjIqZhbOZpkgiGc/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9hODE2/Zjg0OTNkMGE3YmY5/MGM3ZDQxMzQxOWQ2/YzNkYS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
