Sex & Sensibility

I am sure you saw the new advertisement for our new 3 part series that begins this Sunday. I really believe that we live in a world where our culture has negatively imposed on God’s design of our sexuality. Because sexuality is not what we do….but who we are...we have created for ourselves insensible stress, expectations, actions and even desires.

Our sexuality is made up of our mind, body, soul and spirit. Each of these aspects must be viewed in a healthy and sensible way for us not to miss the fulfillment, beauty and purity of God’s great gift. This message series will be focused on our sexuality and how we view it. News headlines and local struggles found even at our church make it clear that we have lost touch with our sexuality. It has become insensible in so many ways.

We will be taking a look at this insensible outlook of our sexuality and showing that God's way is the way to sensible satisfaction, fulfillment and desires. Each message will be appropriate for 6th grade and up and focused on each person understanding their own sexuality as male and female. When we understand who we are in a sensible way....then we are set free to enjoy our sexuality.

For the first time at our church we will hit this subject from two different speakers. I will teach this Sunday on the subject of Men and our sexuality. Next Sunday, Kristine Wood, will teach on the subject of women and their sexuality. I will conclude with a needed talk for parents and teens as we talk about the fragile sexuality of kids and teenagers. I am excited to have Kristine speak as she will be able to present from the perspective of a female who is married, has two kids and is a physician in a urology clinic.

This will be a freeing and much needed three part series. Invite everyone you can think of to these next three Sundays. I believe it will be revolutionary and very freeing!

Today's Bible Reading Luke 13

What kind of faith do you have? Jesus said if you have faith like a mustard seed that it can be planted into real life situations and that faith will provide visible proof of the faithfulness of God. However, that faith must be active....it must be planted.

Jesus also said that our faith is also like yeast in bread. It only takes a little active faith being mixed into all aspects of life.....and that faith can cause everything to rise!

Where is your faith? Is it active? Are you inserting it into real life situations so that God can show his power?
