A PG-13 Word From Pastor Dale


We're in the middle of a great series at Seacoast called "The Exchange" which is helping us understand  the choices reshaping our culture. Pastor Dale is speaking this week on the topic of homosexuality and wanted to make sure to give a heads up to all our parents of students. Here's a message from Dale:

Dear Seacoast Parents,

I appreciate your prayer for me as I finish preparing for this Sunday and the teaching of God's Truth about homosexuality. It is a PG-13 topic. The message will be honest and clear, full of Truth that is desperately needed today, especially by your students. I personally would advise bringing them to church with you but tell them the topic in advance. Perhaps reinforce the importance of hearing God's perspective on this controversial topic. They can not avoid it. They are hearing the world's view every day in a variety of ways.

Each parent must decide how, when and where to teach God's Truth about sexuality to their kids. As a parent, I've been there.  It is not easy, and getting harder as our culture moves further away from our God. So pray and follow your personal plan. I hope this week is helpful and equips you to better disciple your kids. It will be tactful, tasteful but full of Truth about homosexuality. It will offer hope and grace to those who struggle with this sin. And it will challenge us, the Church, to recognize our own sins as we reach out to a hurting and confused world. Most of all, it will proclaim Jesus as the answer for all people, and every struggle.

See you Sunday!
Pastor Dale
