Summary
If you think the Sexual Revolution began in 1960s America, think again. It’s been going on since ancient times. Today we look at three texts which outline God’s standard for human sexuality and how a competing system, the worship of Asherah, blurred the lines of gender and sex. The worship of this ancient demon tampered with three distinct areas.
I. Identity (Genesis 1:26-28; 2:18-25)
II. Clarity (Deuteronomy 22:5)
III. Intimacy (Leviticus 18:19-23)
Talk with God: Ask the Lord for clarity as you root your identity in Him and walk in the path He’s prepared for you (see Ephesians 2:10).
Talk with others: Talk about what it looks like to honor your God-given sex in today’s world with your Connect Group or believing friends.
Talk with kids: How does God see people differently than we see them?

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Calvary Church with Skip Heitzel. Thank you for joining us today. As we walk through life, we begin to realize that not every monster lurks under the bed. For centuries, demons, and dark spiritual forces have been downplayed as entertaining mythical figures, while insidious and destructive sins have been disguised as fun and freedom. |
| 0:22.7 | This message with Pastor Skip will expose the hidden idols and dangers of our culture |
| 0:27.5 | and reveal the true freedom that is found in Christ alone. |
| 0:36.5 | My name's Joshua Broome, and there's a monster in our closet, and it's called pornography. |
| 0:42.3 | I grew up in a really small town where my mom had me at 15, and my dad was in that same town, |
| 0:50.1 | but even though he was down the street, he was never in my life. And I believed as a kid, if the problem of me not having a dad is something that is my fault, |
| 1:01.1 | maybe I could be the solution. |
| 1:02.6 | So I tried to do enough, become enough, earn enough. |
| 1:05.9 | And along the way, at 13, I saw pornography for the first time. |
| 1:09.9 | And because I didn't have the guidelines and the guardrails I needed, |
| 1:13.8 | it informed my thinking around what is intimacy, what is sex, what is relationships about? And what I saw in those pages, |
| 1:21.0 | I thought if I consumed it or acted it out, I would have something that I didn't. |
| 1:28.0 | And that thinking led me into my teens, into my 20s, and all of a sudden there were |
| 1:33.6 | three girls that asked me at the age of 22, hey, would you ever want to be in the porn |
| 1:39.5 | industry? |
| 1:40.5 | And when you don't have a good reason to say no, sometimes you'll say yes to something in your gut, |
| 1:45.7 | you know you should say no to. And I said yes, and that led to almost seven years of me being |
| 1:54.4 | in the porn industry. But what I began to realize that Romans 5A is true, that in spite of what I'm |
| 2:00.3 | done, in spite of who I am, in spite of what I didn't have, |
| 2:03.4 | that there is a God that loved me so much that sent Jesus to die on my behalf, knowing the worst thing you ever died. |
| 2:09.7 | If you look at pornography historically, the word pornea, we get that from the Greek New Testament. |
| 2:16.2 | It's talking about sexual morality. And you go back |
