Things we don't discuss in church

This week we're starting a new sermon series entitled "Pure Desire."  We'll be talking about "sex".  Can we say that outloud in church?  Years ago I heard about a girl whose parents wouldn't allow her to go out with a guy.  They were both in the youth group.  During a youth group meeting one day they snuck away and she ended up pregnant.  I guess if we can do it in church we can certainly talk about it.  Actually, I think this is the very reason we must talk about it.

There are so many myths and misunderstandings about God's plan for our sexuality that I thought it might be important to set the record straight.  This first week we'll address sex and the single person.  Whether a teen or adult, single, divorced or widowed, God has a plan for sexuality that we are called to consider.  The second week we'll talk about sexual addictions, especially pornography.  This is one of the most addictive issues and the fastest growing problems our society is facing today.  The third week we'll deal with the difficult subject of unfaithfulness in marriage.  The fourth week we will finally look at God's plan for a good sex life in marriage.

I hope you'll invite your neighbors and friends to check this out.
