Valentine’s Day on a Sunday! Can’t remember that happening for a while! What a GREAT day to be talking about love and sexual intimacy! Here are a few reflex from yesterday:
- Can’t believe we had the crowd we had yesterday, considering the 5 day weekend created by our school system and snow and ice on the ground!
- I have LOVED jamming to the mainstream LOVE songs in our worship services. Yesterday we rocked it with a country song: “Somebody Like You.”
- We had a banjo on stage. It was PERFECT! Great job, Casey!
- For those of you uncomfortable with singing love sings in church: HELLO! God is the author of love!
- Baptized 4 more people. I can NOT believe all the people that are going public w/ their faith right now! EVERY WEEK!
- Week two of our LOVERS series. The msg: “Sex OUTSIDE the BEDROOM.”
- The best sex begins OUTSIDE the bedroom with:
CONVERSATION: “Your love is like…”
“If we want to build intimacy, we’ve got to learn how to do so, not just through touching, but thru talking! With conversation!”
“Look back at how these two talk to each other! What are they talking about? What they LOVE about each other; Their deeps hopes & desires; how much they love each other!”
“Now the other side of that is that our sarcasm; our threats; and our cutting comments can build up walls in the bedroom & everywhere else!”
CONSIDERATION: “How fragrant your cologne…”
“ Husbands…be considerate as you live with your wives…” 1 Pet. 3:7
“We all need to be careful that we’re sending the signal to our spouses that THEIR opinion matters MORE than anyone else’s!”
“ Am I making a sincere effort to be attractive to my spouse?”
Highlight of the day for the crowd? I put on a “Snuggie” & called it sexual sin!
CHARACTER: “How pleasing your NAME!”
“In Hebrew culture, your name represented your character! Who you were; so when this woman says: ‘I love your name’ she’s saying: ‘I love who you are! I love your character’”.
“If we want to be attractive in the long run to our spouse, it’s what’s on the inside, not the outside that will matter most! Our character! Who we REALLY are!
- Highlight of my day? 3 more couples signed up to get married on Sun, Mar 7! These commitments have been some of the most fulfilling of my ministry!
