#282 Final Advice

Song of Solomon 8:5-8:14

As we look at how this book finishes, we need to be mindful of our own walks and how we as Christians will finish. Who or what are we leaning on for strength? Who are we protecting and who is protecting us? What is the fruit coming out of our vineyard, and is our desire for the Lord to come? All reflection questions that point us to a deeper intimacy and longing for Christ. 

#281 Pursuit of God

Song of Solomon 7:11-8:4 

Today we look at the shortest idyll to see how the bride pursues her husband. Her desire for closeness and intimacy is something that we all need to model and incorporate in our own lives in our relationship with Christ. 

#280 The King's Desire

Song of Solomon 6:4-7:10

Today we look at life after the wedding, and how the ideal in love will celebrate purity, maturity and delight. Our desires should be for these things in our relationship with Jesus, and the relationships around us. 

#279 Asleep or Not?

Song of Solomon 5:2-6:3 Today we talk about a possible dream or a deeper look at the moment of consummation. All the while understanding who is really knocking on the door. 

#278 Wedding Day Revisited

Song of Solomon 3:6-5:1

Today we look at a closer more intimate look at the wedding day and a description of how Solomon views his bride. This brings out a challenge and admonishment for our husbands to present their brides before the Lord in proper ways, to lead them spiritually in the way they are called to, and have modeled by Christ. 

#277 Courtship Revisited

Song of Solomon 2:8-3:5

Today we discuss the courtship days of the bride and groom. The understanding of the depths of love continue and the refrain of not awakening love before its time is stressed once again. 

#276 Wedding Day Revisited

Song of Solomon 1:1-2:7

Beginning our look into the honeymoon phase of relationships, we look back at the wedding day of this couple. Look at some staples of love, in how it confronts insecurities, it incorporates all the senses, it is humble and patient. Understanding these things in our marriages and faith can help us go deeper.

#275 All Scripture is God-Breathed

2 Tim 3

As we transition into the main part of the series, we tie up the introduction messages, looking at more difficult texts and turn our focus towards Song of Solomon. Today we are reminded of the pride and selfishness in our relationships and understand that we need to rely on God to overcome and persevere through, understanding his grace to a greater degree.

#274 Doing what is Right in our own eyes

Judges 20-21

Today we see the response of Israel to the atrocities of Gibeah and as we think about how selfishness and pride impact the decisions of Israel, how do they impact the lives of us today still when it comes to the relationships that we have. 

#273 Consider it, Take Counsel, and Speak

Judges 19

Today we will start our look into Judges 19-21 and the principle of how when there is no king, the people will do whatever is right in their own eyes.
