Love Stinks #5- Jesus and Sex

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?
