[highlight]Lesson #09: SATAN’S TOOLBOX – “The Sexualization of America” (October 29, 2014)[/highlight]

SUMMARY: Our culture has been told a lie. People are being told that we are defined by how we look, how appealing we are to the opposite sex, and what we are willing to do sexually. Where did we get this idea? It all comes down to two words: sex sells. This study will focus on the influence of media and marketing to sexualize our culture. Here’s the outline:

  1. The Culture: the Inception (where all of this began)
  2. The Consequence: Immorality
  3. The Contrast: God’s Image

Where did we get the idea that we are to create our own image to define who we are? Ultimately, we are to project God’s image within us (Gen. 1:26-27) by fleeing immorality (1 Thes. 4:3-7).
