But What About… Part 2 (God.LGBTQ.You. 5 - Pastor Mike)

But What About… Part 2 (God.LGBTQ.You. 5 - Pastor Mike)

Author: 922 Ministries May 11, 2026 Duration: 39:30

How should followers of Jesus think — and live — when it comes to LGBTQ questions? In this final message of our five-week series, Pastor Mike opens the Bible to walk through five of the most common questions people are still asking after weeks one through four.
In this message we tackle:

1. Why do so many Christians treat LGBTQ people worse than others?
2. Who am I to judge?
3. How can LGBTQ people lead fulfilling lives?
4. Can LGBTQ people go to heaven?
5. If I'm LGBTQ, what should I do?

Along the way, we look at what Jesus actually taught about judgment in Matthew 7, what Paul lists alongside sexual sin in Romans 1 and 1 Corinthians 6, and what John says about repentance, belief, and life as a real Christian in 1 John 1 and 3. We also push back on a uniquely modern American idea — that romance and family are the only real sources of love — and recover the Bible's rich vision of friendship, singleness, and Christian community.

Whether you're walking this road yourself, loving someone who is, or just trying to think clearly as a Christian in a divided culture, our prayer is that this message helps you hold onto the truth of God's Word and the grace of Jesus at the same time.
