Harry Reeder: Gender & Sexuality
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- In our era of confusion regarding gender and human sexuality, there is a great need for Christians to understand what Scripture says about these core matters of human identity. In this message, Dr. Harry Reeder expounds on the Bible’s teaching about these ethical issues, emphasizing the truth of the gender binary, proper sexual desire and its right expression, and other related topics.
This message is from Upholding Christian Ethics, our 2022 National Conference: • Upholding Christian Et...
I only discovered this pastor online last year.Brings a year to my eye that he has gone on to glory.Condolences and prayer from northern Australia to his wife,family, friends and congregation.😢
Harry Reeder was my pastor when I lived in Charlotte NC. Fantastic exegetor who taught me to love the Word of God and to let scripture interpret scripture. He was also a fantastic pastor who remembered my name after first meeting me when I started to attend Christ Covenant, passing my name on to another parishioner who was also an artist and who reached out to me and became my first friend at the church.
Is that Christ Covenant in Charlotte? I have heard great things about it.
@@sonoftheredfox Yes. Christ Covenant in Charlotte (really Matthews which is one town over). I loved that church. I'd still be going there if I hadn't moved to another state.
@@haltersweb Thanks, that's what I thought. I'd probably go there if I lived in that area. I'm having trouble finding somewhere solid to attend these days. Long story.
Wish i could find a pastor around here like that. A preacher who is truly passionate about the Lord and body of Christ, and knowledgeable.

This was a great Sermon. Ligonier need to invite Dr Reeder back more often
Whoa! You weren’t kidding!
@@Dcb96 Certainly not mate
2 Peter 3:13
Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
He’s coming next year!
Amen!
Thank you Dr. Reeder! Wonderful message and so needed today more than ever!!! May God rescue our land from it’s evil and pagan spiral downward and cause a great reawakening to God’s truth and holiness🙏🙏😢😢
Jesus already has rescued us. We are just passing through. This is not our home. Our citizenship is in heaven.
2 Peter 3:13
Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
@@paulgemme6056 God does tell the Israelites to have families, plant gardens and seek the peace of Babylon (Jer 29).
I'm not a theonomist, but I believe they have a healthier attitude to serving the Lord through their churches and communities since they realize that Christ has given us work to do here, even during judgement.
@@paulgemme6056 still held responsible to respond to culture
Appreciate Pastor Reeder. Encouraging and strong reminder to stay strong spiritually and knowing our God is in control whatever we face in life physically.
God bless you Abundantly ther is hope to America 🇺🇸 Glory to God almighty
First time I heard of him. Really great. He is an excellent teacher. Glad he is with Ligonier.
My first time hearing him, what a great preacher!!!
This is such an important message for our broken world! Pastor Reeder was never afraid to speak the truth of the Gospel no matter the hate he may have received and ALWAYS refers back to scripture during his sermons! He never let us go without reminding us to stay ON MISSION, ON MESSAGE, AND IN MINISTRY!! The Word of the Lord is alive and well, and thanks to Pastor Reeder I feel as though I am well equipped to go out and be an ambassador for Christ!
After I was saved I listened to Harry Reeder on my AM car radio as I travelled each day around Charlotte. He is/was such a solid teacher and I’m thankful I listened to him after my salvation.
I have been listening to Pastor Reeder for a long time on my local Birmingham radio station. God bless him. A light in the darkness.
I have a new favorite and that's him, we need him to come back next year!
Great presentation by Pastor Reeder. I was a part of Briarwood several years ago when I was in college and I grew so much under his teaching of God’s Word.
Kendric! How are you bro? God bless you!
Kendric! What up!
@@IkeReeder Hello!
@@nateguess1910 Doing well!
Thank you for the truth and reminding Christians that THAT is what we need to always trust in and base our outlook on. We can only deal with the onslaught of cultural lies if we are bathed in the truth of the word of God.
*Pastor Reeder has tragically lost his life in a car accident. May he RIP while he awaits Christ's return.* 💐
This topic is so important. Harry Reeder succinctly teaches the biblical truthes. This is my second time listening and won't be the last, God willing. Thank you, God bless you for the courage and I pray the Lord will continue to bless this ministry. Col. 1:16.
It was a joy to hear the God given truth and wisdom from this blessed man. Alleluia
Please bring MR. Reeder back more often! 🙏🏼
Can someone pass this message on to those churches and pastors in the PCA who are trying to split that denomination even now over these same issues?
Amen
whats the story
@@dtrip8795 😀😀I don't know why this is such an issue for so many people who profess to be in the body of Christ. It really goes back to how much you value the authority of scripture. You can't get any plainer than what it says about marriage and sexuality. It's just that people (all of us) enjoy sin in one form or another, to one degree or another, and when it comes to a sin we like, at some point or for some extended period we're going to make excuses for it, regardless of what God has said about it in his word.
@@sonoftheredfox just like Paul Washer said about his dive into sin and riotous living after his father died when he was in high school. Everyone thought his new rebelliousness came from having lost his father. But he said it really came from a deep inside desire to sin and he found he could use his fathers death as an excuse to now do everything his dark heart wanted to do in the first place.
Tried. They prefer to listen to Satan.
A timely a topic addressed by His timeless Word! He gave us His Word to prepare us for the battles of being in this world, but not of it! Praise and glory to God the Creator, Jesus the Redeemer, and Holy Spirit the Helper for Pastor Reeder’s bold teaching!
Thank you Dr Reeder, this gave me a new and balanced outlook on the gender and sexuality problems of this day. Such sound teaching!
Thank God for men like you sir. God bless you
I love Pastor Reeder. He was my pastor in Charlotte. Wanted to go to the conference this year to see him but having RA prevented me.
2 Peter 3:13
Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
My first time listening and hearing of your Pastor. But he is a powerful messenger for God. Truly a blessing. Amen
Thanks for the nice comments. I live in Birmingham and attend Briarwood Presbyterian where Pastor Harry preaches every Lords Day. Come join us.
Great message!
Right on 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you for such a blessed sermon. God bless you.
RIP dear sir. 🌺
My denomination is moving towards capitulation because we believe cultural relevance is essential and the purpose of the church is cultural transformation. Our leadership continually asks us how we are taking responsibility for the community. The way is cultural accommodation. When Reeder said it should be ethics which shape morals, but now we let the prevailing morals shape the ethics a light went on. No wonder revising scripture is so critical. God help us. We stand on the shoulders of centuries of scholarly saints who exalted God and let the Word shape them - they dared not tamper with the MESSAGE.
Amen, well said. 💯
the resources mentioned need to be put on here

Truth Exchange: Peter Jones
Johnny Gibson on Genesis
That's what I remembered
Loved this message many need to hear it. First time hearing him but hopefully not the last. Tks for the message.
Really enjoyed this, thank you!
Yes, Pastor you said it best. Their is no scripture more hated than, The Book of Genesis. Two words the LGBTQ plus group. Can’t run from, Man/Woman. No matter 🤔 which way they turn. It always comes down to God's perfect creation of Male and Female. Look at God, he locked in a code no man can take apart. 🤗
Then why would he make more than just man and woman, ie intersex, hermaphrodites, people with androgen in/hypersensitivity, or really anything else on the spectrum of phenotypical expression that isn't strictly binary? If it's perfect then why are there abundant exceptions?
The genetics side is not up for debate. Period. There are more than two phenotypical genders amongst dimorphic animals.
The only people asserting otherwise are people like this who insist on adhering to stone age poems and myths propagated by toxic power hierarchies: Only fundamentalist abrahamic-adjacent religions are saying this. (pre-reform christianity and islam and judaism. Reformed abrahamic religions don't even believe this.)
Science disagrees, objective morality disagrees.
So the real question is why is your version of god inconsistent with observable reality?
Why would your god allegedly create something he hates?
Why would an allegedly loving god insist on displaying hatred towards anything?
It seems that the only people running from anything are christians running from reality.
@@justbubba4373 What happened Bubba, They didn't let you in the Christian Club! You said a whole lot in your comment but lost me with all those binary definitions or none clear words you were speaking. They say the believer is closed minded. But truth be told. It's the none believer who's truly closed minded.
So you hate the Book of Genesis and despise the whole Male & Female DNA thing. Well stop your whining and take it up with God. Oh, I forgot you don't believe in God. Well I'm not here to convince you otherwise.
You'll have to take your debate or spat. To a group that shares your human belief and speaks the same gibberish as you. Everyday you walk outside. Look around, that's God talking! 💯
@@justbubba4373 you’re overlooking that the whole of Creation was corrupted by Adam’s fall. What we see around us is not now how God created everything perfectly from the Cosmos down to the sub-atomic world. Gender blending is nothing more than a particularly odious manifestation of this, because it’s a knowing rejection of God’s intent.
@@justbubba4373 This.
When Christians come to their senses about the intersexed, there will be much that will need to be forgiven and reconciled.
Remember, in antiquity, hermaphrodites (as they were called) were left to die.
Now we have modern medical "interventions" where this reality can be hidden.
Even *if* intersexed individuals can be relegated to part of the Fall, there is *no* excuse for the treatment of intersexed people as they have been treated.
The church was wrong on racism and slavery and has claimed to have repented.
It can be done again.
@@justbubba4373 Why are you on this page commenting? We worship The One True God and live by His Word. This man is preaching the truth.
Amazing fantastic sermon. I learnt so much. Thank you pastor Harry Reeder
Nicely done Pastor, well done…!
Awesome message!
This was great!
(06:50) _"...R.C. Sproul, in his book "Worldviews" ..."_
Please give the _exact_ name of this book. I cannot find it searching the web. The best response would to provide a link where the book can be purchased.
Thank you.
Thank you for your question. The book that Dr. Reeder is referring to was republished several years ago under the title "Making a Difference". It can be found on our website here: www.ligonier.org/store/making-a-difference-paperback
@@ligonier - Thank you for your quick reply.
I can't begin to count how much I have enjoyed and learned from your website and from R.Cand so many others. I look forward to meeting him when I go home. In the meantime, these RUclips videos are much appreciated.
I'm in Georgia and am definitely going to briarwood in Birmingham Alabama sometime this summer
You will love it! The Bible is front and center and you’ll hear outstanding expository preaching.
A precious reminder of who we are in Christ.
Love the truth of his sermon.Would love to hear him preach more !
Amen and Amen.
Powerful timely message 👏🏾 To God Alone Be The Glory
❤️great word!
I went to Mc Donald's today and paid for my order at window No 1 to a gal with rainbow hair and picked up my order at window No 2 from a guy
who sounded like my Grand Daughter....I`m not ready for this....James in WA ST
Should i say i love reeder in order to get posted?
Guess so
Thank you. It is fully happening in United Kingdom. Bless you for your sensible words.
I wish we had time to into more detail.
Wow!!! Fantastic message!!!
Essential listening. Thank you!
When we add to scripture and change `male and female he created them` to `male and ONLY female he created them`, we have to then subtract 'eunuchs who have been so from birth' (Matthew 19:12) in order to fit. `In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.` Please stop creating a false Jesus that fits your worldview. I beg of you, please 'Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.'
THANK YOU MAN OF GOD FOR PREACHING THUS SAYS THE LORD.
Grateful for sound Pastors!!
Amen
Thank you for the message.
Amen!
59 genders and counting .... Where does it end ? Do we not miss simplicity of humanity? - sjsrana
Depends on the society and their culture, 🇺🇲 America is a free country so we have more genders because people are free to express who they are, who their soul is.
@@cheddarurchin3844 in another comment you stated that God is non-binary, but he constantly refers to himself in the masculine. Why are you not referring to God in his preferred pronoun?
Plus I'd also like to ask if you think the Bible is true?
@@acts-me8xr God doesn't refer to themselves as he/him, that is what egotistical religious people do. It's man's ego that has become the Christians God, that's why they worship Donald Trump.
@@acts-me8xr oh and to answer your question, only parts of the Bible are true. Most is made up by man, genesis is pretty much a fairy tale.
@@cheddarurchin3844 then if you don’t believe the Bible what’s your truth ???
Amen! A man who preaches the truth!
Could somebody give the name of the Christian ministry mentioned at 9:37, can seem to get it:)
I just can't figure out what he means by monosexual
I certainly agree with this but it does seem that even within the church marriage is increasingly for the few and privileged and that’s a problem not being spoken of or dealt with.
What do you mean by few and privileged ?
Anyone of legal age can get married. Nice try.
@@croppedndocked146 Not sure what you mean but I’m referring to only Christians not “anyone “ of “any”age.
@@johnz4328 "Marriage is for the few and privileged?" It's actually for anyone who decides to get married... What are you even talking about?
@@michaelorr9253 I’m only saying that finding a Christian partner for marriage and having a good marriage is not becoming easier or more common and there are consequences to that situation. It’s too easy to complain about what’s going on in the world and ignore what’s going on within. I don’t think this is hard to understand I think it’s obvious.
Missions and evangelism can turn into accommodation to the culture as well.
was this conference held in Orlando @ First Baptist ....?
An important message for today!
Acts 4:12
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
2 Peter 3:13
Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
Thank you for this!
Amen Powerful Holy Divine Word
Roman's 1:28 For "they" fail to retain God in knowledge , God (handed them over) to "reprobate minds"!
Your seeing the suicides in this pagan wickedness of lgbtq.etc.etc idealology due to God's soverignty being unleashed onto people's reprobation/condemnation for their failure to seek Matthew 6:33 God's Righteousness 1st in requirement through faith in Christ of God's Ordinance in Doctrine of John 14:6. Therefore God's soverignty is unleashed on the wicked as "ones" time is up unto the removal of "grace".
Our time is Not our time as we ALL are , are on God's time unto fathoming one's destination of the seriousness of one's soul. See also (2 Thesalonians chapter 2 verses 10,11,12) on those "deceived" by God as time runs out on those who will "accept" the mark of the beast.
It's a fearful thing to fall into the hands of an angry God , a God of total absolution in soverignty in fathoming this seriousness & Power placed OVER everyone & everything.
This should be where anyone reading this exalt/teaching I'm giving AWAKENS to the seriousness & value to their eternal soul & starts to follow Christ that IS God's "Word", John 1:14 . What a powerful parable to the mystery to understand , receive, "made manifested"! Glory to God.
# Roman's 10:17, Matthew 4:4, Galatians 2:20.
I call this world upside down
Has always been since Genesis chapter 3!
So God originally intended Adam to find a mate from among the animals? He didn't plan ahead for that?
Clearly God intended for Adam not to find a mate among the animals and planed for his future not to be alone in creating woman…
Amen!!

Super Awesome
Praise God
All starts in Genesis
I like this guy and kudos to ligonier!
In all respect, this verbally clever preacher made me laugh, weep, and pray but he did not teach me how to live as Christ in this world. When I am asked to vote, to work, to be with others, how do i respond positively to all kinds of real questions.
The rules in the Bible do not apply to non-Christians.
First, the woman is to be submissive to her husband. She is not allowed to divorce her husband for any reason (1 Cor. 7:10) and if she does disobey God and get a divorce, she is to either remain unmarried or reconcile back with him when possible (1 Cor. 7:11a, Matthew 5:31-32). That means a woman cannot divorce her husband for abuse or adultery. Second, only men can be pastors, teachers, or church elders. The Bible talks about men being leaders and travelers having a right to bring their wives. It does not say that women who were evangelists had the right to bring their husband. So, there is a gender (male) only ministry part of the church. Women were to stay at home and raise the children. Being that women were staying at home (homemakers) many women received persecution from unbelieving (or back slidden) husbands. They were told to submit to them and to remain married. Not to separate from them (1 Cor. 7:2-8) unless the husband agrees and only for a short period of time. So, a woman separating from her husband for abuse would be unbiblical. She can use some wisdom, but most of these types of women received persecution at home, and not out in the public arena. Men were to work out in the field to provide for the wife and children at home (Gen. 3). It was his curse alone. Not the women. She was cursed with pain in child bearing and obeying her husband who had rule over her.
I divorced my husband for abuse after our children and I being were abused for years. I will not remarry. Since the divorce my ex husband has had affairs with married and unmarried women. I disagree with you that a woman cannot initiate divorce because of her husband's infidelity.
A woman can appeal to the church elders or the courts, who are minister's of God to bring about justice.
A Civil Protective Order can be put in place.
@@estherlewis7458 not according to the Word of God.
@@ag7075 a woman cannot divorce for infidelity. The man was able to have several wives and concubines but still the women could not divorce her husband.
@@michaelsayen4360 if I were your wife I’d poison your food
Seems like the political and cultural lamentations and ramblings of a bigot . …and what a terrible “joke” up front.
This guy is fabulous
Why do all these videos say "Live" when they are all recorded? Seems deceptive for a Christian ministry.
Their RUclips channel is constantly showing live videos. That’s RUclips telling you that the channel is now live, not specifically this video….goofy
While many things Harry Reeder said true, one criticism I have is that some of the things he was saying sounded more like the ignorant trying to teach the clueless. For example, he kept saying LGBTQ and then after that would keeps saying “AI” or “AI+” in a rather disparaging tone of voice. I wonder if he knows what those letters stand for or if he cares. “I” stands for Intersex and it is a very real a legitimate medical condition in which many people with Intersex condition have been treated like monsters or something. From my understanding there are 30 types of Intersex conditions that a person can have. And then “A” stands for allies or advocates. On most anything I have seen “A” is normally listed last. Allies or advocates are those who are sympathetic or supportive of LGBTQIA. Some people do use more letters than that. I what I had said sounds hard. Yet I think commenting on this is appropriate since this is presented as public teaching and the person teaching should understand what they are talking about. I am sure there many things he does understand but seems to be lacking in knowledge or ignoring an important factor of the discussion.
Now i know where todays repub church gets its name calling…
Rev 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
When the raptuure takes place, and God's people are out of harms way, America will be completely and utterly annihilated, no-one will survive, they will die whereever they are on the freeway, in the stores, anywhere there is a person they will die right there, they will die in place.
they will noit be buried, their carcases will rot whereever they die, thankfully those who give their heart and life to Christ enduring unto the end will not stay here for that eventuality.
America is doomed, if Yellowstone goes off in a major big way, it could take out most of America by itself, and whatever is left Russia and China could finish off with a few nukes.
When this happens those who witness it first hand will know they provoked the Lord into such judgment.
Good man, but what a painfull story teller.
