Gender issues are very much about where a person finds feelings of belonging and acceptance. If Christ lives within me, it is He who drives the identity discussion. The message of the Gospel is one of shared struggle with sin and victory in Jesus.
God never hates people, even those caught in sin.
The mission of the church is to be a safe place of a shared struggle where compassionate people speak the truth of Jesus Christ’s grace for all—a place where all people learn that God’s heart is filled with love and longing to draw us to Himself.
