Sex and the Supremacy of Christ

Sex is good because God made human bodies with sexual drives. But, of course, sin has a way of trashing God’s gifts. So we can’t just celebrate sex for what God made it to be; we have to struggle against what sin turned it into. In this audio collection from the Desiring God 2004 National Conference you are invited to do both: celebrate and struggle.

With sessions covering such topics as abuse, addiction, sexual relations in marriage, singleness, gay marriage, lust, and more the conference aim was to use biblical truth to help free the church from her cultural and sexual captivity, while affirming the God-given goodness of sexuality. The six plenary sessions and four seminars offer an open, honest, and biblical perspective on the issue of sexuality.

MP3 CDs can be played in MP3 CD players, computers, and most DVD players. They will not play in standard CD players.
