Why does God care who I sleep with? - Matthew 5:27-28 - Sam Allberry

In this talk, Sam Allberry dives deep into the question, “Why does God care who I sleep with?”. A question as compelling as this is both personal and, for many, painful. He shares his journey of discovering his sexuality and how he grappled with it upon embracing Christianity. Through the lens of Matthew 5:27-28 and the more profound teachings of Jesus, Sam explores the sacredness of sexuality beyond mere physicality. It’s about heart attitudes, not just actions. God’s design for sex within marriage is a picture of self-giving rather than self-fulfilment. Jesus, by dying on the cross, makes a way for genuine satisfaction in a relationship with Him over any earthly pleasure. This union with Christ is likened to a marriage, offering ultimate fulfilment beyond any romantic or sexual experience.

Sam Allberry persuades listeners to see their longing for sexual and romantic fulfilment as a signpost to a more profound need - knowing God. He emphasizes that true satisfaction lies in our relationship with our Creator, not in our sexual or marital status. By pointing to Jesus as the bridegroom who loves, desires, and pursues us, Sam encourages everyone to consider where true fulfilment is found. His message invites us to rethink our attitudes towards sexuality, viewing it through the lens of God’s love and design, leading us closer to the heart of the Gospel.
