A Beautiful Design (DVD Leader Kit)

God’s Unchanging Plan for Manhood and Womanhood

God created us to function according to His perfect design, and for all of human history, our world has been male and female.  But our ever-changing culture faces challenges due to sin.  More than ever the church needs to be a safe refuge for the gender confused, the sexually broken, the single, the married, and the divorced.  In this 9-session study, pastor Matt Chandler gives evidence that God’s plan for man and woman is the ultimate design. And life lived within this beautiful and unchanging design leads to our greatest joy.
