The Art of Attraction

February 7, 2021 • Michael Crocker

Song of Solomon 1-2:7 -- We must consciously decide to look past the ugliness of life and the world's standards, and learn to see ourselves and others as God sees us. Seeing beyond outward appearances allows for a spiritual and emotional attraction to grow. Solomon demonstrates we must come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing the imperfect person perfectly.

Ecclesiastes 3:1; Song of Solomon 2:8-15, 3:5 -- God has defined seasons for relationships-a season of perfection, a season of preparation, and a season of purity. The key to setting a relationship on a solid foundation and making it work is living a God-first life no matter the season.

Godly Sex

February 21, 2021 • Michael Crocker

Song of Solomon 4:1-16 -- God created sex, yet the world has bought into the script/standards of the devil thus perverted it and taken away its beauty. God's way is affirming, tender, passionate, secure, and holy.
