The Doctrine of Sex Series Continues....

These images were used this weekend in the DOCTRINE OF SEX SERIES to represent four different types of people dealing with sexual temptation.

Surrendering life and struggles to Jesus


How far can I go without stepping off the edge?


Comfortably apathetic- Living life at a distance from the cross, although feeling sufficient to at least be keeping it within sight. These people often tell themselves "at least I am not doing such and such like so and so."


Pressing through the dark to following Jesus

"Married Sex is the Best Sex" sermon illustration

First of all, can I just say that it is crazy that I just typed the words "Married Sex is the Best Sex" into the title of the LS Worship journal. God is truly breaking down the barriers and negative connotations that the word "sex" has in church culture...
Anyway, for the week on married sex we went through the book of Song of Solomon. Often the language used in this book to describe beauty can actually be seen as funny or even gross. For Example, "your hair is like a flock of goats"- err yeah... awkward! So we decided to use beautiful pictures of the written imagery in order to show just why the lovers would have used these metaphors to describe their love and adoration of each other.
We hung the pictures across the width of the sanctuary on gazebo light rope. The purpose was to allow the congregation to see the beauty of the imagery during the sermon to enhance the text as it was being read to them.



In the south venue we placed serveral photos on the tables around the room at which people sit so that they could pick them to take a closer look if so desired.
