Tom teaches on how sex has been mishandled by both culture and the church. It is a gift from God that is both, so much more than we make it and not all that we make it out to be at the same time. Sex, like all other gifts from God, is supposed to draw people to Him.

Jesus and Sex
As a church we need to do a better job at being a safe place where anyone can hear and receive the life changing gospel of Jesus. The gospel of Jesus is not anti-sex. Sex, in it's proper context, is a gift from God meant for our enjoyment and as reminder of who he is and what He offers.
