A Bedroom Fit for a Servant (19 of 53)
Series: Straight Up Truth for a Messed Up Church

1 Corinthians 7:1-5
Our 19th lesson brings us to one of the most practical and needful lessons on the Christian home. It's the sensitive and controversial subject of marital intimacy. But rest assured we are going to deal Biblically with the subject, which means we will speak truthfully and graciously.
In my ministry, there are few subjects that create more difficulty and reveal more dysfunction in a marriage than the area of sexuality. So today in this message I'm calling for a home makeover. I want us to do a major renovation of the marriage bedrooms represented by the people in this service.

Physical relationship - This sermon will use a lot of synonyms and euphemisms but this sermon is about the sexual relationship between a husband and his wife.
Based on a servant's spirit - This message is not primarily about what God wants you to do with your body. T ...
