It was a great beginning to the Sexual Revolution series today! The worship rocked... Bill hit a home run with the message... and we had some unexpected elements for the people including a queen-sized bed on the stage, a Beatles song, and an awesome intro video.
There were a lot of positive conversations happening after the service; people were openly talking about the positive and negative impact of sex in their lives. I love it when the Holy Spirit works in people's lives!
WORSHIP
Nate was out sick this morning, so Dave Verdick stepped in at the last minute to lead worship. Dave leads once a month, but it is always with advance notice. He and the band did a great job with worship this morning. They rocked the house on I Am Free, Everybody Praise the Lord, and Revolution. Great worship, guys!
I Am Free - Jon Egan
Everybody Praise the Lord - Lincoln Brewster
Come Thou Fount
Revolution - The Beatles
Open the Eyes of My Heart - Paul Baloche

Notable Quotes...
- "A revolution is a change that ushers in something better. Has our perspective on sex gotten better since the Sexual Revolution of the 60's?"
- "For too long, we've kicked the bed out of the church and the church out of the bed."
- "Sex is a God-given gift, but it is being used in God-forbidden ways. We have to take this God-given gift and make it God-driven."
- "God made us different from the animals. Animals view sex much differently than humans. We are not animals!" (This got some good snickers...)
- "God created us as sexual beings, and it was very good!"
- "When we look at other people as objects, we strip them of their humanity, and our humanity is ultimately stripped away at the same time."
- "Sex is all about oneness. When the husband and wife come together in bed, we reflect the intimacy of God."
