4. Societies View
It’s Just
Sex!

5. Gods View
Genesis 2:24
“For this reason a
man will leave his
father and mother
and be united to his
wife, and they will
become one flesh.”

6. Gods View - Notes
Gods perfect plan for sex is that happens
within marriage.
Most popular television programmes and
films display sex outside of marriage as not
only the norm but desirable.
Right from the very beginning of the Bible
God makes it clear. In Genesis 2:24

7. Gods View
Matthew 19:4-6
“Haven't you read, that at the
beginning the Creator 'made
them male and female, For this
reason a man will leave his
father and mother and be united
to his wife, and the two will
become one flesh? So they are
no longer two, but one.
Therefore what God has joined
together, let man not separate.

8. Sex Is For…
Man & Woman
Marriage
• Declaration
• Ceremony
• Permanent

9. Sex Is For… - Notes
Sex is between a man and a woman : Man will leave his leave his father
and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh
Sex is for marriage : Both the author of Genesis and Jesus say Wife.
Public declaration. : Man standing up and saying I am with this woman
forever. I will protect her; look after her and love her. Woman saying I
am with this man forever, I will support him, love him, and honour him.
Ceremony within the society that you live.
Permanent : Marriage is permanent, it isn’t something you try and see if
it will work. The act of sex bonds a couple as one.

10. Review - Singles
Romans 12:1-2
Therefore, I urge you, brothers,
in view of God's mercy, to offer
your bodies as living sacrifices,
holy and pleasing to God—this
is your spiritual act of worship.
Do not conform any longer to
the pattern of this world, but be
transformed by the renewing of
your mind. Then you will be
able to test and approve what
God's will is—his good, pleasing
and perfect will.

11. Review - Singles - Notes
Gods plan isn’t the worlds plan
Being different to the world is a life of
worship to God.
God understands loneliness
90% of us will marry

12. Wall Or Door?
Song of Songs 8:9
If she is a wall, we will build
towers of silver on her. If
she is a door, we will
enclose her with panels of
cedar.

13. Wall Or Door? - Notes
Purity is so important and should be
celebrate and helped
Wall analogy is worshipping your God
Door analogy don’t be surprised if you are
challenged

14. It Is Possible
1 Corinthians 10:13
No temptation has seized
you except what is common
to man. And God is faithful;
he will not let you be
tempted beyond what you
can bear. But when you are
tempted, he will also provide
a way out so that you can
stand up under it.’

Genesis 2:23
“This is bone of my bone
and flesh of my flesh.
NIV
“Have you seen my
wife? Now that’s what I
call fit, man I can’t wait
until I get her into the
bedroom, we are most
definitely going to be
one.

17. Pure Sex
Hebrews 13:4
Marriage should be
honoured by all, and the
marriage bed kept
pure…
Pure = Amiantos
• 1 Peter 1:4 - Heaven
• Hebrews 7:26 - Jesus
• James 1:27 - Our Faith

18. Pure Sex - Notes
God uses Hebrews 13:4 to put it this way.
Marriage should be honoured by all, and the
marriage bed kept pure… The word that is
translated as pure is only used three other
times in the entire Bible.
The word is Amiantos (am-ee'-an-tos ) and it
is used elsewhere to describe Heaven,
Jesus and our Faith itself.

thing.
