Revelation 19:6-21
The Marriage Supper of the Lamb
6 Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out,
“Hallelujah!
For the Lord our God
the Almighty reigns.
7 Let us rejoice and exult
and give him the glory,
for the marriage of the Lamb has come,
and his Bride has made herself ready;
8 it was granted her to clothe herself
with fine linen, bright and pure”—
for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints.
9 And the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These are the true words of God.” 10 Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God.” For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
The Rider on a White Horse
11 Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. 12 His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. 13 He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. 14 And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. 15 From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.
17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he called to all the birds that fly directly overhead,“Come, gather for the great supper of God, 18 to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave, both small and great.” 19 And I sawthe beast and the kings of the earth with their armies gathered to make war against him who was sitting on the horse and against his army. 20 And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. 21 And the rest were slain by the sword that came from the mouth of him who was sitting on the horse, and all the birds were gorged with their flesh.

1 Corinthians 13:1-7
13 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
1 John 3:11-24
11 For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. 12 We should not be like Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother's righteous. 13 Do not be surprised, brothers, that the world hates you. 14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. Whoever does not love abides in death. 15 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
16 By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. 17 But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? 18 Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.
19 By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him; 20 for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything. 21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God; 22 and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him. 23 And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us. 24 Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God, and God in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.
1 John 4:7-21
7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 10 In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.
13 By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 16 So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. 17 By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love, butperfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. 19 We love because he first loved us. 20 If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. 21 And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.
Big Idea: For two people to date and marry, they ought to commit to know, to show, and to grow true love.

Mark 9:33-37
English Standard Version (ESV)
Title: Who to Date??? The World's Most Ordinary Man.
33 And they came to Capernaum. And when he was in the househe asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?” 34 But they kept silent, for on the way they had argued with one another about who was the greatest. 35 And he sat down and called the twelve. And he said to them, “If anyone would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.” 36 And he took a child and put him in the midst of them, and taking him in his arms, he said to them, 37 “Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me.”
1 Timothy 3
English Standard Version (ESV)
Qualifications for Overseers
3 The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. 2 Therefore an overseer[a]must be above reproach, the husband of one wife,[b] sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,3 not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. 4 He must manage his own household well, with all dignity keeping his children submissive, 5 for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God's church? 6 He must not be a recent convert, or he may become puffed up with conceit and fall into the condemnation of the devil. 7 Moreover, he must be well thought of by outsiders, so that he may not fall into disgrace, into a snare of the devil.

Song of Solomon 1
2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth!
For your love is better than wine;
6 Do not gaze at me because I am dark,
because the sun has looked upon me.
My mother's sons were angry with me;
they made me keeper of the vineyards,
but my own vineyard I have not kept!
7 Tell me, you whom my soul loves,
where you pasture your flock,
where you make it lie down at noon;
for why should I be like one who veils herself
beside the flocks of your companions?
Solomon and His Bride Delight in Each Other
He
8 If you do not know,
O most beautiful among women,
follow in the tracks of the flock,
and pasture your young goats
beside the shepherds' tents.
9 I compare you, my love,
to a mare among Pharaoh's chariots.
10 Your cheeks are lovely with ornaments,
your neck with strings of jewels.
Song of Solomon 7
7 How beautiful are your feet in sandals,
O noble daughter!
Your rounded thighs are like jewels,
the work of a master hand.
2 Your navel is a rounded bowl
that never lacks mixed wine.
Your belly is a heap of wheat,
encircled with lilies.
3 Your two breasts are like two fawns,
twins of a gazelle.
4 Your neck is like an ivory tower.
Your eyes are pools in Heshbon,
by the gate of Bath-rabbim.
Your nose is like a tower of Lebanon,
which looks toward Damascus.
5 Your head crowns you like Carmel,
and your flowing locks are like purple;
a king is held captive in the tresses.
6 How beautiful and pleasant you are,
O loved one, with all your delights!
7 Your stature is like a palm tree,
and your breasts are like its clusters.
8 I say I will climb the palm tree
and lay hold of its fruit.
Oh may your breasts be like clusters of the vine,
and the scent of your breath like apples,
9 and your mouth like the best wine.
She
It goes down smoothly for my beloved,
gliding over lips and teeth.
10 I am my beloved's,
and his desire is for me.
The Bride Gives Her Love
11 Come, my beloved,
let us go out into the fields
and lodge in the villages;
12 let us go out early to the vineyards
and see whether the vines have budded,
whether the grape blossoms have opened
and the pomegranates are in bloom.
There I will give you my love.
13 The mandrakes give forth fragrance,
and beside our doors are all choice fruits,
new as well as old,
which I have laid up for you, O my beloved.
1 Corinthians 6:12

Flee Sexual Immorality
12 “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything. 13 “Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food”—and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 14 And God raised the Lord andwill also raise us up by his power. 15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! 16 Or do you not know that he who is joined[d] to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, “The two will become one flesh.” 17 But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. 18 Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin[e] a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. 19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, 20 for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
Principles for Marriage
7 Now concerning the matters about which you wrote: “It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.”2 But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. 3 The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. 4 For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. 5 Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

4 Finally, then, brothers,[a] we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, just as you are doing, that you do so more and more. 2 For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus. 3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification:[b] that you abstain from sexual immorality; 4 that each one of you know how to control his own body[c] in holiness and honor, 5 not in the passion of lust like the Gentileswho do not know God; 6 that no one transgress and wrong his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as we told you beforehand and solemnly warned you. 7 For God has not called us for impurity, but in holiness. 8 Therefore whoever disregards this, disregards not man but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.
9 Now concerning brotherly love you have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another, 10 for that indeed is what you are doing to all the brothers throughout Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers, to do this more and more, 11 and to aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we instructed you, 12 so that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one.

Feb 13- S-E-X is a gift that tells a story with your body, Eph 5;
SCRIPTURE PASSAGE-
[22] Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. [23] For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. [24] Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.
[25] Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, [26] that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, [27] so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. [28] In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. [29] For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, [30] because we are members of his body. [31] “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” [32] This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. [33] However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
(Ephesians 5:22-33 ESV)
Big Idea- Far from being a cosmic accident, the Act of Sex is a message from God speaking a profound and essential message.
Point 1: Sex is only a blessing in the context of a marriage between a man and his wife.
Point 2: When you have sex with someone, your body makes a promise whether you do or not.
Point 3: So, what is Sex saying?

1 John 1:1-10
That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we looked upon and have touched with our hands, concerning the word of life— 2 the life was made manifest, and we have seen it, and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was made manifest to us— 3 that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. 4 And we are writing these things so that our joy may be complete. 5 This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. 8If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

The Two Immoral Sisters
Ezekiel 23 The
word of the Lord came
to me again: 2 “Son
of man, there were two women, daughters
of the same mother, 3 who
acted like prostitutes in Egypt, behaving
promiscuously in their youth. Their breasts were fondled there, and their
virgin nipples caressed. 4 The
older one was named Oholah,[a]and
her sister was Oholibah.[b] They
became Mine and gave birth to sons and daughters. As for their names, Oholah
represents Samaria and Oholibah represents Jerusalem.
5 “Oholah
acted like a prostitute even though she was Mine.
She lusted after her lovers, the Assyrians: warriors 6 dressed
in blue, governors and prefects, all of them desirable young men, horsemen
riding on steeds. 7 She
offered her sexual favors to them; all of them were the elite of Assyria. She
defiled herself with all those she lusted after and with all their idols. 8 She
didn’t give up her promiscuity that began in Egypt, when
men slept with her in her youth, caressed her virgin nipples, and poured out
their lust on her. 9 Therefore,
I handed her over to her lovers, the
Assyrians she lusted for. 10 They
exposed her nakedness, seized her sons and daughters, and killed her with the
sword. Since they executed judgment against her, she became notorious among
women.
11 “Now
her sister Oholibah saw this, but she was even more depraved in her lust than
Oholah, and made her promiscuous acts worse than those of her sister. 12 She
lusted after the Assyrians:governors and prefects, warriors splendidly dressed,
horsemen riding on steeds, all of them desirable young men. 13 And
I saw that she had defiled herself; both of them had taken the same path. 14 But
she increased her promiscuity when she saw male figures carved on the wall, images
of the Chaldeans, engraved in vermilion, 15 wearing
belts on their waists and flowing turbans on their heads; all of them looked
like officers, a depiction of the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their
birth. 16 At
the sight of them[c] she
lusted after them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea.17 Then
the Babylonians came to her, to
the bed of love, and defiled her with their lust. But after she was defiled
by them, she turned away from them in disgust. 18 When
she flaunted her promiscuity and exposed her nakedness, I turned away from
her in disgust just as I turned away from her sister.19 Yet
she multiplied her acts of promiscuity, remembering the days of her youth
when she acted like a prostitute in the land of Egypt 20 and
lusted after their lovers, whose sexual members were like those of donkeys and
whose emission was like that of stallions. 21 So
you revisited the indecency of your youth, when the Egyptians caressed
your nipples to enjoy your youthful breasts.
22 “Therefore
Oholibah, this is what the Lord God says:
I am going to incite your lovers against you, those you turned away from in
disgust. I will bring them against you from every side: 23 the
Babylonians and all the Chaldeans; Pekod, Shoa, and Koa; and
all the Assyrians with them—desirable young men, all of them governors and
prefects, officers and administrators, all of them riding on horses. 24 They
will come against you with an alliance of nations and with weapons, chariots,
and[d]wagons.
They will set themselves against you on every side with shields, bucklers, and helmets.
I will delegate judgment to them, and they will judge you by their own
standards. 25 When
I vent My jealous rage on you, they
will deal with you in wrath. They will cut off your nose and ears, and your
descendants will fall by the sword. They will seize
your sons and daughters, and your descendants will be consumed by fire. 26 They
will strip off your clothes and take your beautiful jewelry. 27 So
I will put an end to your indecency and sexual immorality,
which began in the land of Egypt, and you will not look longingly at them or
remember Egypt anymore.
28 “For
this is what the Lord God says:
I am going to hand you over to those you hate, to those you turned away from in
disgust. 29 They
will treat you with hatred, take all you have worked for, and leave you stark
naked, so
that the shame of your debauchery will be exposed, both your indecency and
promiscuity. 30 These
things will be done to you because you acted like a prostitute with the
nations, defiling
yourself with their idols. 31 You
have followed the path of your sister, so I will put her cup in your hand.”
32 This
is what the Lord God says:
You
will drink your sister’s cup,
which is deep and wide.
You will be an object of[e] ridicule
and scorn,
for it holds so much.
33 You will be filled with drunkenness
and grief,
with a cup of devastation and desolation,
the cup of your sister Samaria.
34 You will drink it and drain it;
then you will gnaw its broken pieces,
and tear your breasts.
For I have spoken.
This is the declaration of the Lord God.
35 Therefore,
this is what the Lord God says:
“Because you have forgotten Me and
cast Me behind your back, you
must bear the consequences of your indecency and promiscuity.”
36 Then
the Lord said
to me: “Son of man, will you pass judgment against Oholah and Oholibah?Then
declare their detestable practices to them. 37 For
they have committed adultery, and blood is on their hands; they have committed
adultery with their idols. They have even made the children they bore to Me
pass through the fire as food for the idols. 38 They
also did this to Me: they defiled My sanctuary on
that same day and profaned My Sabbaths. 39 On
the same day they slaughtered their children for their idols, they entered My
sanctuary to profane it. Yes,
that is what they did inside My house.
40 “In
addition, they sent for men who came from far away when a messenger was
dispatched to them. And look how they came! You bathed, painted your eyes, and
adorned yourself with jewelry for them. 41 You
sat on a luxurious couch with a table spread before it, on
which you had set My incense and oil. 42 The
sound of a carefree crowd was there. Drunkards[f] from
the desert were brought in, along with common men. They put bracelets on the
women’s hands and beautiful crowns on their heads. 43 Then
I said concerning this woman worn out by adultery: Will they now have illicit
sex with her, even her? 44 Yet
they had sex with her as one does with a prostitute. This is how they had sex
with Oholah and Oholibah, those obscene women. 45 But
righteous men will judge them the way adulteresses and
those who shed blood are judged, for they are adulteresses and blood is on
their hands.
46 “This
is what the Lord God says:
Summon[g] an
assembly against them and consign them to terror and plunder. 47 The
assembly will stone them and cut them down with their swords. They
will kill their sons and daughters and burn their houses with fire. 48 So
I will put an end to indecency in the land, and all the women will be
admonished not to imitate your indecent behavior. 49 They
will repay you for your indecency, and
you will bear the consequences for your sins of idolatry. Then you will know
that I am the Lord Yahweh.”
MATTHEW 26:39! Compare to ezek 23:31-34!
John 8 cf with ezek 23:45
Matthew 26:39 Going a little farther,[a] He fell facedown and prayed, “My Father! If it is
possible, let this cup pass from Me. Yet not as I will, but as You will.”
An Adulteress Forgiven
2 At
dawn He went to the temple complex again,
and all the people were coming to Him. He
sat downand began to teach them.
3 Then
the scribes and the Pharisees brought
a woman caught in adultery, making
her stand in the center. 4 “Teacher,”
they said to Him, “this woman was caught in the act of committing adultery. 5 In
the law Moses commanded
us to stone such women. So
what do You say?” 6 They
asked this to trap Him, in
order that they might have evidence to accuse Him.
Jesus stooped down and started writing on the ground
with His finger. 7 When
they persisted in questioning Him, He stood up and said to them, “The
one without sin among
you should be the first
to throw a stone at her.”
8 Then
He stooped down again and continued writing on the ground. 9 When
they heard this, they left one by one, starting with the older men. Only He was
left, with the woman in the center. 10 When
Jesus stood up, He said to her, “Woman,
where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
11 “No
one, Lord,”[a] she
answered.
“Neither do I condemn you,” said
Jesus. “Go,
and from now on do not sin anymore.”][b]

Relationships RuinedHe said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?” [2] And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, [3] but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’” [4] But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. [5] For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” [6] So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate. [7] Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths.[8] And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden. [9] But the LORD God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?” [10] And he said, “I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.” [11] He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?” [12] The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate.” [13] Then the LORD God said to the woman, “What is this that you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”[14] The LORD God said to the serpent,“Because you have done this,cursed are you above all livestockand above all beasts of the field;on your belly you shall go,and dust you shall eatall the days of your life.[15] I will put enmity between you and the woman,and between your offspring and her offspring;he shall bruise your head,and you shall bruise his heel.”[16] To the woman he said,“I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing;in pain you shall bring forth children.Your desire shall be for your husband,and he shall rule over you.”[17] And to Adam he said,“Because you have listened to the voice of your wifeand have eaten of the treeof which I commanded you,‘You shall not eat of it,’cursed is the ground because of you;in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life;[18] thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you;and you shall eat the plants of the field.[19] By the sweat of your faceyou shall eat bread,till you return to the ground,for out of it you were taken;for you are dust,and to dust you shall return.”[20] The man called his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of all living. [21] And the LORD God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins and clothed them.[22] Then the LORD God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat, and live forever—” [23] therefore the LORD God sent him out from the garden of Eden to work the ground from which he was taken. [24] He drove out the man, and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed the cherubim and a flaming sword that turned every way to guard the way to the tree of life.(Genesis 3 ESV)Big Idea: Self-centeredness is the definite cause and unfortunate result of the Fall of RelationshipsOutline:1.
