Sermon from July 6

Summer Poetry Series

Song of Songs 3: 1 - 11

1. We will sacrifice our comfort and even compromise our safety for love and relationships.
2. God knows this. The first conflict in the Bible is the aloneness of man. Genesis 2:18
3. We are again reminded that sex is a gift for married couples and is not to be experienced outside of God’s design.
4 Pageantry is a reminder that there is something larger than ourselves.
5. We should dress up and make a big deal out of our wedding day -- it shows how special we are and how special family and marriage are.
6. A wedding ceremony also reminds us that one day Jesus will return for us.
