God, Church, Sex, and Money –
a brief exploration into 4 things that deeply impact the quality of every life
Genesis 2:20-25
The ultimate goal of life
Understanding God’s purposes for the gift of sex
1. Sex is a gift from God designed to reveal his grace and goodness
2. Procreation
3. Pleasure
- God’s radical standard
- Our response to God’s standard
- Good sex
4. Total oneness, acceptance, and commitment
- our quest for intimacy
- Three myths regarding intimacy:
 Myth #1 – You must be married to experience intimacy
 Myth #2 – You must have an easy marriage to experience intimacy
 Myth #3 – You can find intimacy instantly and directly
5. To conform us to the likeness of his Son – the imitation of Christ
- Marriage is not a cure for sexual brokenness
- 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
- We will give an account to God for our marriage
