I'm sure that title caught your attention! I am really excited about beginning our series entitled "Sex & Stuff" this Sunday at CCF! I plan to tackle some topics that will need t0 be tackled and say some things that need to be said. Plan to squirm a tad, because you are probably not used to discussing this stuff in church. Oh, well. I encourage you to be present and open your heart to some things that the Lord may want you to hear and to face. He is with us! I'm coordinating with Pastor TC to have our youth present for this as well. We need to get our heads out of the sand and realize that media is educating our young people about sex in totally inappropriate ways. I strongly believe that it is past time for the church to stand up and weigh in on sex and what it is really all about!!
See you Sunday. Invite someone to join you. If you know someone that thinks that churches are fake...invite them Sunday, and see if they still believe that. We are about to get real.

I am interested in how you will be presenting the subject of "sex" during a sermon. Surely you have considered the significance of how language can impact how your message is received. I have always found it interesting to read how in scripture the verb "to know" is used when the context is sexual relationship. Will you be considering this in your presentation?
ReplyDeleteIf you use the word "know" instead of sex I'm gonna...go..to...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. I have not found using 2,000 year old language to be effective when talking to normal people. That's just me. What sayetheth thou?
ReplyDeleteSymmimex- I plan to use language that my audience can understand. I will likely err on the side of direct and common language. Head on.
ReplyDeleteTC- Issues! ;-)
