Cover to Cover III: Episode 5

How are we to view sex in a culture that treats it so lightly? God wants his people to treasure sexual intimacy within the bounds of marriage, both to enjoy it in the best way and to honor its design. Marriage reflects the type of relationship Jesus has with his people, so both our enjoyment and disappointment in our romantic lives can serve to draw us closer to God.

Job: Peace in Your Suffering

When hard things happen to you, do you question God’s love? Job didn’t understand the reason for his suffering, but he learned to trust God when he saw God’s power and control over all things. The cross shows us that there is love behind God’s sovereignty: Jesus suffered pain for you so that you could bring your pain to him.

Psalms: Finding Solid Ground

Through prayer, the Psalms teach us to bring our emotions to God and allow his Word to shed light on them. Rather than suppressing our feelings or being blindly controlled by them, we learn to ground our feelings and experiences in Christ and go deeper into his peace.

Proverbs: The Foundation of Wisdom

We all want to live wisely in life, but do you ever get overwhelmed with how many different perspectives are out there? Proverbs offers a simple solution: if you want wisdom, fear God! To fear God means to trust that he knows best and that he instructs you out of love.
