September 28th, 2025 | Fortify | Genesis 2; Proverbs 5-7

In this candid and powerful message, Pastor Matt Darby tackles one of the most sensitive and misunderstood topics in our culture: sexual intimacy. As part of the Fortify series, we return to Genesis 2 to build a clear theological framework around God’s design for sex — its parameters, its place, and its purposes.

With honesty, clarity, and biblical wisdom, Pastor Matt walks through Proverbs 5–7, offering insight into how sexual sin seduces and destroys — and how God's Word gives us the tools to pursue purity, wisdom, and true freedom. Whether you're married, single, dating, or struggling, this message is a grace-filled call to live God’s way in this deeply personal area of life.

Topics Include:

• The blessing and boundaries of sexual intimacy

• Why sex outside of marriage is spiritually and emotionally destructive

• How to flee temptation instead of flirting with it

• Cultivating a healthy sex life in marriage

• How Scripture anchors us in purity and freedom

• A call to confession, forgiveness, and healing

Whether you're seeking restoration or simply want to walk in wisdom, this episode is a vital conversation for every generation.
