The world’s plan for sex has created a culture of heartbreak, the objectification of women, the sexualization of our youth, broken marriages, pain and regret.
Let’s explore God’s plan:
Romance is to be enjoyed
Song of Solomon 1:2
Proper sexuality is not shameful
Genesis 2:25
Spouses are to fulfill one another – this is not a suggestion!
1 Corinthians 7:3-5
Monogamy, the wife of your youth until when?
This verse is obviously speaking to us after the honeymoon, 10 yr anniversary, etc
Proverbs 5:18-19
Jesus raised the bar high, all the way to mental monogamy!
Matthew 5:28
“Sex in your mind matters just as
much as sex in your bedroom”
Dave Willis
Sexual sin is different than other sin
1 Corinthians 6:18
Sex isn’t a momentary act, but a union, a sacred and deeply emotional act
1 Corinthians 6:15-17
These relationships are more than just a snapshot, a moment. They are importantly integral parts of your life! Problems with snapshots:
A snapshot doesn’t tell the story, the past, the ups & downs, growth, real successes, storms, big wins, etc.
Snapshots cannot show the future! Jeremiah 29:11
Church 29:11
