Some people insist that in our post-modern (or even meta-modern) age, we only believe in science, not metaphysics. That’s not quite true. At the heart of the transgender movement, people believe they are what they claim to be regardless of biological evidence. None of this is new. Something similar happened in the ancient worship of Asherah. Let’s examine it more carefully.

I. The Practice of Debased Idolatry (Jeremiah 7)

(Three Notable Characteristics)

II. The Proclamation of Divine Wrath (Romans 1)

(Three Notable Reasons)

Talk with God: Ask the Lord to give you His heart for the lost, confused, and hurting people in your family, community, and city.

If you think the Sexual Revolution began in 1960s America, think again. It’s been going on since ancient times. Today we look at three texts which outline God’s standard for human sexuality and how a competing system, the worship of Asherah, blurred the lines of gender and sex. The worship of this ancient demon tampered with three distinct areas.

I. Identity (Genesis 1:26-28; 2:18-25)

II. Clarity (Deuteronomy 22:5)

III. Intimacy (Leviticus 18:19-23)

Talk with God: Ask the Lord for clarity as you root your identity in Him and walk in the path He’s prepared for you (see Ephesians 2:10).

Talk with others: Talk about what it looks like to honor your God-given sex in today’s world with your Connect Group or believing friends.

Talk with kids: How does God see people differently than we see them?
