Sexual Integrity in a Pornography-Saturated Age - For Men

A six‑week study for men who want to think and live faithfully in a culture saturated with pornography and counterfeit intimacy. Instead of offering tactics or shame cycles, this study traces God’s story of creation, fall, redemption, and new creation to recover what the body and sexuality are actually for. Participants learn to see their own desires through the lens of the gospel, to invite the Holy Spirit’s transforming presence into their habits, and to walk in honest community with other men. Grounded in passages like Genesis 1–2, Song of Songs, Matthew 5, and 1 Corinthians 6, it calls men out of isolation into the fellowship and freedom of the Kingdom — where chastity is not repression but the restoration of love’s true purpose.

What You'll Study

The Body in God’s Image

Genesis 1:26–31; 2:18–25

Created for Communion

Learning Objectives

Participants will recognize that their bodies and desires are part of God’s good creation, designed for relational communion rather than shame. They will explore Genesis 1–2 to understand what it means to bear God’s image bodily and articulate how sexual desire reflects a longing for covenant relationship.

The Fracture of Desire

Genesis 3:1–13; Romans 1:21–25

Disordered Longings

Learning Objectives

Participants will identify how sin distorts good desire into self‑centered and isolating patterns. They will trace the biblical diagnosis of disordered longing and name personal and cultural ways that counterfeit intimacy replaces genuine love.

The Gospel and the Heart

Matthew 5:27–30; Psalm 51

From Lust to Love

Learning Objectives

Participants will grasp Jesus’ teaching that purity begins in the heart and that transformation flows from grace, not willpower. They will reflect on how repentance and forgiveness reshape desire toward love of God and neighbor, and commit to one practice of heart‑level honesty before God this week.

The Spirit and the Body

1 Corinthians 6:12–20; Romans 8:5–11

The Temple Within

Learning Objectives

Participants will understand that the Holy Spirit dwells within their bodies as God’s temple, empowering holiness through shared life with Him. They will practice connecting worship, surrender, and Spirit‑dependence to daily obedience, identifying how the Spirit strengthens them to turn from temptation.

Walking in the Light

James 5:16; 1 John 1:5–9

Community and Confession

Learning Objectives

Participants will experience how confession and brotherhood bring freedom from isolation. They will practice honest sharing in a safe group setting, learn biblical principles of accountability, and identify one trusted relationship where they can continue walking in the light.

The Restoration of Love

Revelation 21:1–5; 1 Thessalonians 4:3–8

New Creation Wholeness

Learning Objectives

Participants will envision sexual integrity as participation in God’s new creation — a restored capacity to love as Christ loves. They will celebrate the hope of embodied holiness and commit to ongoing community and Spirit‑led growth as expressions of that coming wholeness.

Sample Content

Observation — What does the text say? (10 min) The purpose of this section is to help the group notice what the text actually says before interpreting its meaning. In Genesis 3:1–13, what words or phrases describe the serpent’s strategy and the couple’s response? (Notice how doubt, desire, and shame unfold step by step.) After eating the fruit, how do Adam and Eve relate differently to God and to each other? (Observe the movement from openness to hiding and blame.) In Romans 1:21–25, what repeated words or ideas describe humanity’s exchange — what was given up, and what was taken instead? (Look for verbs like “exchanged,” “worshiped,” or “served.”) Transition: Now that we’ve seen what happens in the text, let’s explore what these patterns mean — the deeper logic of disordered desire and what it reveals about the human heart.
