Sex and the Single Person (4 of 4)
Series: Sacred Sex: God's Glory and the Gift of Sex

1 Corinthians 6:18-20
INTRO: Well, I want you to take your Bibles now this morning and be finding your place at 1st Corinthians chapter 6 if you will.

ILLUS: Throughout this series, I've mentioned different works and quotes from that great Christian writer, C.S. Lewis, because one of the gifts that God has given to him and that ...
