The Song of Songs

Many of us have a deep longing for connection and commitment, but our pursuit of meaningful relationships has left us anxious and lonely. Is there any hope for us in this modern dating culture? Join us this week as Ben Stuart kicks off our brand new collection through the book of Song of Solomon! Today, Ben surveys the difficult landscape of modern dating and challenges us to start by evaluating ourselves before we evaluate others we are attracted to.

For many of us, dating is more confusing and stressful than it has ever been, but the longing for an intimate relationship is still there. How can we navigate the risks of dating in a healthy way? Ben Stuart continues in our new series by examining the relationship displayed in Song of Solomon and showing us how to date in a way that honors the other person and gives glory to God.

Our culture increasingly promotes liberated sexuality that starkly contrasts God’s design for sex. But we are often conflicted because of our own desires and temptations. As followers of Jesus, how are we meant to view sex in this modern day? Ben Stuart continues in our collection by teaching us through the wedding night of the young couple in Song of Solomon and reminds us that God designed sex for our enjoyment within the confines of a covenant marriage.

Relationships will constantly drift away from intimacy and towards isolation, but the fear of conflict drives many of us to inaction. How can we overcome our fear and intentionally work to cultivate healthy relationships? Ben Stuart continues our series through Song of Solomon and explores the ways that a healthy approach to conflict can actually strengthen our relational bonds.

The desire for marriage is strong in many of our lives, but it comes with a fear that the spark of love will fade away. How can we cultivate intimacy in our relationships that will continue to flourish over time? This week, Ben Stuart picks back up in Song of Solomon and demonstrates some of the principles that will help us deepen our marital love through the years and help us avoid the slow disintegration of relationships we see in the culture around us.

As we finish up our time in Song of Solomon, Ben Stuart addresses one of the major questions that has undergirded the entire series: what is love? Examining the relationship of the couple in Song of Solomon, Ben explores seven different ways that our relationships should mirror God’s design for intimacy.
