Is it possible to follow God's design for love?
We live in a society that constantly challenges us when it comes to sexuality. Thankfully, God doesn't leave us to find the answers on our own: He shows us His design for sex, relationships, marriage, and gender in His Word. This study will take you through God's Word to answer some of the toughest questions about love, sex, gender, and relationships. We will learn that it is possible to embrace God's design by loving Him and others with both our bodies and our souls. We will learn how we can show love to those who live outside God's design and that God's love heals wounds.
