  25. Relationships are disposable

  26. ‘Sexuality has fallen prey to consumerism’s scheduled obsolescence which thrives on short-term commitments and favours transient human relationships. Consumerism trains us to acquire, consumer and move on, with novelty as our guiding impulse.’ - Jonathan Grant, Divine Sex

  27. Sex is trivial

  28. Pornification of culture

  29. 1 in 4 young people have viewed porn online by 12 years old (BBC3)

  32. ‘The modern self no longer sees and expresses these human desires within the bigger arc of God’s story of human redemption and reconciliation; instead of pointing to a world beyond this one, sex has become a god in its own right.’ - Jonathan Grant, Divine Sex

  33. Break Please be back in 15 minutes. Prayer Space and Listening Team available.

  34. Let’s talk about Sex!

  35. Empower What we do comes out of who we believe we are. (Rob Bell ‘God:Sex’)

  36.  ‘There’s more to sex than mere skin on skin. Sex is as much spiritual mystery as physical fact. As written in Scripture, “The two become one.” Since we want to become spiritually one with the Master, we must not pursue the kind of sex that avoids commitment and intimacy, leaving us more lonely than ever—the kind of sex that can never “become one.” There is a sense in which sexual sins are different from all others. In sexual sin we violate the sacredness of our own bodies, these bodies that were made for God-given and God-modeled love, for “becoming one” with another.

  37. Or didn’t you realize that your body is a sacred place, the place of the Holy Spirit? Don’t you see that you can’t live however you please, squandering what God paid such a high price for? The physical part of you is not some piece of property belonging to the spiritual part of you. God owns the whole works. So let people see God in and through your body.’ (1 Cor 6:16-20)
