Sexual Perversion Wrecks the Body and the Soul

In this message, Pastor Nate addresses the “cacophony of noises” in the modern world that seeks to suppress God’s truth regarding identity, gender, and sexuality. Grounded in a reading of Romans 1, the message explores the central theme that sexual perversion—defined as the alteration of something from its original intent—wrecks both the body and the soul. As described in the sources, Pastor Nate argues that identity is God-determined rather than self-determined, offering a critique of “expressive individualism” where personal feelings serve as the final arbiter of reality. By examining the destructive impacts of pornography, adultery, homosexuality, and transgenderism, he illustrates how sexual sin isolates individuals and misrepresents the biblical picture of God’s design. Ultimately, Pastor Nate calls for the church to speak the truth with extravagant grace and mercy, inviting listeners to move from isolation into the light of the Gospel, where Jesus Christ makes dead people new.
