Holy Sex!
Have you every noticed that Christians are often very embarrased about anything to do with sex? The thought of a Sunday sermon about sex just doesn’t fit, somehow. But why should that be, when all around us people are surrounded by images, adverts, suggestions and influences, primarily geared around sex? Of all the issues people face today there can be no doubt that this is the big one!
So being the brave pastors we are, Helen and I decided to face it head on and stage a seminar at our Church, called, ‘Holy Sex!’ It should be interesting, to say the least. Fascinating to see people’s reaction in the congregation when we first announced it a few weeks ago; mmmm – whisper, whisper, chat, chat, giggle, giggle!
Doing some research, it’s very encouraging how many Christians are actually talking frankly on the subject – loads of great books, forums, websites and teaching series.
We’ll be covering issues such as:
- The meaning of sex in the context of covenant and the Jewish Tabernacle
- The nature of sex – why it’s so emotive
- Sexual sin and guilt from the past
- Dealing with sexual pressures
- Sex in the context of marriage and relationships
If you’re in the Dumfries area, come and join the seminar – Friday 11th December, 7pm at the River of Life Christian Centre, by Dumfries Station.
