In this sermon from Steel City Church's First Corinthians series, Chris Richards addresses sexuality and cultural norms through a scriptural lens. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 6:9-20, the message confronts the sexually charged culture of ancient Corinth, where promiscuity was normalized and celebrated. The core message emphasizes that when Jesus becomes Lord, cultural dynamics no longer dictate one's identity or actions. Chris highlights that God's kingdom is defined by righteousness, peace, and joy, and followers of Christ are called to be transformed from the inside out. While actions do not earn righteousness, they should reflect the character of Christ. The sermon underscores that God intimately longs for people, regardless of their past or current circumstances, and invites believers to allow Christ to form and renew every aspect of their being, including their sexual desires.00:06 - Opening prayer 02:00 - Introduction to First Corinthians series 03:32 - Introducing the topic of sex 04:16 - Pastoral heart and God's love 05:16 - Scripture reading begins 06:57 - Explanation of God's kingdom 08:01 - Discussion of righteousness 10:14 - Context of Corinthian culture 11:14 - Corinth's sexual promiscuity 12:12 - Cultural attitudes toward sexuality 13:02 - Lordship of Jesus transforming identity 14:23 - Jesus offering an easy yoke 15:18 - Not being conformed to the age 16:06 - Transformation of the whole being
