The Contenders

These are the notes from this past Sunday from our ethics series at SBCAC. One of our interns, Vincent Sapitan, preached this and it was very insightful. This has relevance to both the single Christian and the married individual. He hits on areas with regards to abstinence and purity, which are highly ethical issues in a society that does not see premarital or extramarital sex as wrong.

Vince is a close friend and brother, and I was encouraged to see how he has grown. So I hope you are blessed by the content too.

I will post the outline here and attach a PDF for your convenience.
