Sermon Notes from Sunday, 6.30.13

Here are the notes from Sunday's sermon on Ephesians 5.18 and 1 Corinthians 6.19-20.  On a personal note, I struggled with how to communicate and respond to the SCOTUS ruling the previous week on the federal Defense of Marriage Act and Proposition 8 in California.  As always, you can get these notes in PDF and the sermon audio at sermons.heritagepark.org.  You can also find the audio via our podcast iTunes.  It may take a couple of extra days as our webmaster extraordinaire is at youth camp this week.

When we’re filled, one thing related to SCOTUS ruling this past week:

We have a proper understanding of our bodies (1 Cor 6.19-20)

Culturally, we have defined our “authentic selves” as equal with the sum of our desires. 

The proper view:  our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit, filled with Him.

The definition of marriage is determined by ownership and intention

Application:

Keep Calm and Carry On

Keep Sharing the Good News

Keep Pursuing True DOMAs
