Tape 2411.05 [Proverbs Series], Associate Pastor Jeff Jones

Winning Over Temptation — a sermon with a video, sex talk, duct tape, and whipped cream.

Value the gift of sex.

Proverbs 3:13-18; Genesis 2:20-25.

Sex is designed to be enjoyed in the context of a committed, loving life-long relationship between a man and a woman, joined together in the covenant of marriage.

Sex is a body, soul, spirit connection. It is God’s gift. He is provided a whole book in the Bible about it.

Protect the gift. Proverbs 7:6-27.

  • Guard your mind.
  • Stay away from tempting situations.
  • Count the cost.

Nurture the gift. Proverbs 5:15-19.

  • Plan a discussion.
  • Plan a date.
  • Consider a mini-honeymoon.
