John 4:4-26 • Jesus seeks the sexually broken • ‘I’m the cure for your loneliness and emptiness’ • Woman: “I’ll try it” • ‘Our union can’t be casual. You have to own your morally bankruptcy & commit to me exclusively’
1 Corinthians 6:9-20 • “Hot Potato” list of evil • Immorality/lust: breaking trust to gain pleasure • Slander/gossip: breaking trust to gain acceptance
1 Corinthians 6:9-20 • A Pagan view of sex (6:12,13) • A Prudish view of sex(7:1) • A Christian view of sex
Theology • The goodness of Sex • Body is integral to soul and spirit • Splitting body & soul: ugly and monstrous • God’s intimate love
God gave us sex as a powerful, sacred tool to express exclusive, permanent commitment in a loving dance that mirrors Trinity oneness. God created gender and sex in marriage as a foretaste pointing to the forever love story of the gospel.
God does not pour his intimate love into your heart unless there is commitment. You are not to do so, nor to ask for it .
