'Sex Is Holy' was the theme for the first week of the series. In a culture where sex is cheap and truthfully, animalistic, when we look at what God has to say about sex we see that when you combine the God-design of sex, the longing of connection that sex illustrates, the intense pleasure that sex brings, and the celebration and creation of life that sex produces, you get something...holy.
In week 2, the title of "Foxes Aren't Sexy." In Song of Solomon chapter 2, Solomon's Love urges him to "catch the foxes" - those things that can enter our lives, relationships, and sexuality that brings ruin. We identified 3 breeds of foxes: selfishness, fear, and immorality. We also discovered how God's pure love shown to us through Jesus is the only thing that can really kill a fox.
The third week was specifically given our singles - "It's Sexy Being Single." The Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 7 paints a big, beautiful picture for single people; communicating that a single person has the opportunity to have "undivided devotion to the Lord" that married people don't have. Singleness, then, is actually a tremendous gift to take enjoyment in and advantage of.
In the final week, our playful title was "Married People Should Have Sex." We spoke of what marriage is, and how sex is to be enjoyed in a marriage covenant. Again, Solomon and his Love gave us a great example of an erotic, loving, marriage steeped in sexuality as they mutually and selflessly gave themselves to each other to fully enjoy - freely and frequently!
Needless to say, the Good Sex Revolution sparked some interest in people and thankfully, gave people a biblical vision for how great the gift of sex is. Even though the series is now over, I believe that the Good Sex Revolution is actually just beginning!
