2022 Summer Seminars "Male and Female He Created Them"

The theme this summer will be “Male and Female He Created Them” (Genesis 1:27). Christians today are faced with a bewildering blizzard of innovations and challenges in the areas of sexuality and gender, and there appears to be no end in sight. But God’s Word speaks with clarity and authority on all of these issues. As many are succumbing to the hazards of the new sexual morality, we need once again to examine our Creator’s design for these important matters.
