In the heart of the Bible, we find a diverse collection of songs called Psalms, which have shaped the faith of God’s people for millennia. The Psalms meet us in the depths and the heights of human experience, and they reorient us toward the God who is always with us. In today’s sermon, we’ll discover how the Psalms can guide our prayers, give words to our praise, and heal our hearts. 

Scripture Reading: Psalm 2

Most of us have been presented with two basic options for how to think about sex. The one many of us learned in church tends to produce an extraordinary amount of shame. The one we’ve learned from secular society inevitably harms us and others. Both options are flawed. So as followers of Jesus, we need a better way to think about sex—a way that helps and doesn’t harm, a way that’s faithful to the God who loves us all. In today’s sermon, we’ll identify some serious problems with the two views of sex we’ve likely been taught. Then we’ll take a fresh look at Scripture and discover how it offers us a better way.

So in today’s sermon, we’ll seek some divine perspective as we consider the original purpose of romantic relationships, why that matters, and the practical difference it can make in our lives.
