God Chose Your Gender

In this message, Pastor Nate explores the biblical foundations of identity as part of the “God’s Design” series, specifically addressing the topic of gender. Drawing from Genesis 1:26-28, he emphasizes that gender is not a social construct but a biological and spiritual reality determined by God. Pastor Nate explains that God created humanity in His image as male and female, two distinct and complementary genders designed to flourish together, particularly within the union of marriage. Throughout the teaching, he characterizes the Word of God as a lighthouse that provides clarity amidst the “confusion and darkness” of the world, helping believers navigate troubled waters. Ultimately, the message serves as an invitation to reject “expressive individualism” and instead yield one’s life to Jesus, finding true identity and forgiveness through His grace.
