Will You Trust the Text or the Trend?
Wednesday, July 1, 2026
The loudest voices don’t get to decide truth, and neither do our feelings. We’re asking a question that a lot of people debate but fewer people actually test against the text: what does the Bible really say about homosexuality, and what happens when God’s Word collides with the mood of the moment? We take you straight into Scripture with a clear, step-by-step survey that starts in Genesis and keeps moving until the New Testament leaves no doubt about what’s being taught. We read Genesis 19 and trace why Sodom and Gomorrah become shorthand for extreme sin and real judgment, then we turn to Leviticus 18 and 20 and explain how the holiness of God frames Israel’s moral instruction. From there we walk through Romans 1, where Paul connects the rejection of God to exchanged worship, darkened thinking, and sexual behavior described as “against nature.” We also reference 1 Corinthians 6 and 1 Timothy 1, putting homosexuality inside broader lists that confront all of us with the same question: will we repent, or will we redefine sin so we can keep it? But we don’t stop at controversy. We place the topic inside the Bible’s main storyline: creation, the fall, the curse of sin, and God’s rescue mission through Jesus Christ. Marriage, sexuality, holiness, repentance, and redemption all connect to the gospel and to eternal realities like judgment and the promised new creation. If you’re looking for biblical clarity, Christian teaching on sexuality, and a reminder that Scripture doesn’t merely identify sin but points to the Savior, this message is for you.

How Can You Know the Bible is the Authoritative Word of God?
In this free guide, Dr. Timothy Mann, Senior Pastor and Bible Teacher at Providence Church, sits down with those questions and takes them seriously. He walks through three solid reasons why the Bible can be trusted as God's authoritative Word, drawing on real history, archaeology, and the kind of fulfilled prophecy that's hard to explain away.
