Heaven In Your Home - Episode 143 Stewarding Sexuality: Healing From Lies and Wrong Thinking

Episode 143 Stewarding Sexuality: Healing From Lies and Wrong Thinking

03/06/23 • 44 min

Heaven In Your Home

His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ Matthew 25

How have we as the church buried the gift of our body, our gender and our sexuality? As we continue our discussion of the parable of the talents in Matthew 25, we observe the servant who buried the talent, hiding it in the ground, did so out of fear. This third servant believed a lie about the Master, therefore he buried what was given to him.

In this episode, we will look at Genesis 1 and parallels to Jesus’s parable in Matthew. Let’s uproot lies and lean into the good garden gifts. What would it look like to walk in freedom, seeing the goodness of our image bearing beauty and the unity that leads to fruitfulness in married intimacy?

Let’s learn a fresh viewpoint on stewardship and experience the joy of our Master

Stewarding Sexuality: Fresh & Transformational View

His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ Matthew 25

When you think about the parable of the talents your mind instantly gravitates toward stewarding your finances, your gifts, or even your health. But, have you ever thought about the faithfulness that might flow from stewarding your sexuality?

We get to steward the gift of our sexuality, with purpose and intention over the course of our life. And, faithfulness brings great benefits,including the unity that leads to fruitfulness within the context of marriage. Sex is not a duty, not a chore, not something to check off your list. It is something to enjoy, to pursue, to delight and to receive great pleasure.

Let’s learn a fresh viewpoint on stewardship and experience the joy of our Master.

Episode 144 Stewarding Sexuality: Faithfulness Leading to Fruitfulness

His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ Matthew 25

In the parable of the talents, the ruler gave three different servants talents to manage while he was away. While we see the command was the same, we see three different heart postures, actions and results.

Let’s dive into Genesis 1 and observe that our sexuality, our body, our gender and sex, pleasure and desire are gifts from God we're called to steward.

So often in our Christian culture we’re afraid of sexuality, our bodies and pleasure. We just don't talk about it. We silence it, we bury it and we put it away and talk about other things. But God wants us to grow this gift, not bury it. But how do we grow it and how can we be like the first two servants who are faithful?

In today’s episode we’ll continue the conversation of stewarding sexuality and explore what it means to invest in these gifts and grow like the first two faithful servants. This episode is full of practical application you can apply today.
