Sex isn’t gross, but it’s also not God. In reality, sex is a good gift from God for the purpose of procreation and recreation. How can we have Godly sex? For starters, it is between two Jesus followers, in the covenant of marriage, pursuing God and pursuing one another.
The marriage relationship is often treated like a contract. A contract says, “If you do this, then I will do this.” This type of marriage is unbiblical and is a recipe for disaster. Instead, God calls us to have a covenant marriage. A covenant says, “No matter what, I will.”
When it comes to sex, the world’s view is much different than God’s view. Because we allow the world to be loudest, sexual sin is rampant in our culture. Where sexual sin exists, intimacy in relationships is driven out. How can we stay away from sexual immorality?
The world often tells us how men and women should be, but when we turn to Scripture we find something completely different. In the context of relationships, the Bible is clear on how men and women should live. Join us as we look at the beginning of Song of Solomon and see some characteristics of Godly men and women.
When we shift our perspective toward Jesus, we begin to see our time and talents as resources to make a difference for the Kingdom of God. No matter what our current situation is, God wants to use us right where we are.
If you’ve been around church for a while you have probably heard the phrase, “first and best” at some point. This week we will dig in a bit and really look at what it means and how we can practically give God our first and best because He gave us His first and best in Jesus.
Do you think you are a leader? The truth is, leadership is influence; and we all have influence. We are either leading people toward Jesus or away from Him. What would it look like if we shifted and became Godly influencers?
Once we shift our affection and satisfaction to Jesus, it should overflow into every aspect of our lives – including our families. How can we build a home that is truly focused on Jesus?
If we want to engage in the mission of making a Kingdom difference, it all starts with shifting our affection and satisfaction toward Jesus. Is He the one thing that drives everything?
