Recently, at Mariners Church, we have been studying the book of Song of Songs as a message series. On Sunday, March 10th, 2024, I had the opportunity to preach on the topic of sex, specifically Sex in Marriage. It was my first time preaching on this topic, and I found it fun, insightful, and valuable.
During the sermon, I taught from Song of Songs 3:6 – 5:1, where I covered a lot of content, verses, quotes, examples, and illustrations. However, I wanted to write this post to clarify one section of my outline that I didn’t have enough time to delve into further during the message. This section is about the different worldviews on sex that our society has given us, and the worldview the Bible provides as a contrast to the others. If I had more time, I would have loved to preach on this topic longer, but since I didn’t, I figured I would write this post instead.
From what I can see, there are 4 different worldviews on sex. Some people view sex, and they either idolize it, demonize it, trivialize it, or as the Bible teaches, harmonize it.
