By Design | Week 4 | 1 Thessalonians 4:3–8

God’s design for intimacy invites us to receive a good gift with trust and care. Beginning in 1 Thessalonians 4:3–8, this message explores sexual holiness, the goodness of sex within marriage, and the call to serve our spouse rather than make desire an idol. Following Jesus shapes how we face temptation, guard our thoughts, and draw strength from Scripture, prayer, the Holy Spirit, and Christian community. God’s grace offers forgiveness for sin and power to live differently; past failure does not put us beyond His reach. We’re invited to turn toward Jesus, receive His renewing grace, and take the next step with others walking beside us.
