Song of Songs Teachings

A couple of weeks ago we concluded our teaching on Song of Songs focused on sexuality at Denver Community Church. I wrote a blog early on in the teaching about our teaching too you can read that here. Over the course of our teaching several people told me they missed a week and wanted to hear the week they missed. Many who do not live in Denver emailed requesting direction to find the teachings online.After so many emails I decided to post all the teachings I did to make it easy for those who wish to listen to them.* They are listed below in the order they were given with a brief description for each week. If you click on the title it will automatically download an MP3 for you.All of these are free, so use them as you like. As Dallas Willard used to say, “If there is anything worth quoting, repeating or using that just means it’s from the Holy Spirit.” And I am confident the Holy Spirit does not care about copyright.01 A New Sexual EthicWe began by observing the fact that we live in a cuture that exploits our sexuality coupled with a church who is largely silent and shaming on the issue. This means we need a new way to think and talk about sexuality.02 What We Really WantSex is far more than physical pleasure because we are far more than physical beings. How then do we understand the physical and spiritual dimensions of our sexuality?03 Who Are All These People?Today, sexual ethics are centered on the individual. However, it has not always been this way. All ethics were once centered in community – even sexual ethics. This is why sex is personal but is not private.04 You’re Still the OneWhat does sex have to teach us about marriage? And what does marriage have to teach us about sexuality? We cover these questions about the exclusive bond that brings about oneness, something our world has a preference for, from the atomic level upward.05 Wake UpWhat do we do with our longing for love? “We do not awaken it until it so desires.” Perhaps this calls for us to first understand what love is.06 Healing and WholenessAs humans we are all broken one way or another, and to be human is to be sexual. Which means, all of us have sexual brokenness – straight or gay, married or single, celibate or sexually active. The good news is we can be made whole. * Should you want to listen to all the sermons from the DCC Team including, Landon Lynch, Jon Gettings, Dave Neuhausel, Scott and Claire Oppliger and Amanda Pennington, you can go here and you will find them all: Denver Community Church Teachings.
