KEY IDEAS:

  1. You always carry the true character and quality of your relationship into the marriage bed.
  2. Sex, by its very nature, is an act of worship – you either worship God or you worship self.
  3. If sex is only about your pleasure, it will be very easy to replace your spouse with pornography.
  4. God empowers weak people to do amazing things by His enabling grace.
  5. God is in the business of painting His grace on the canvas of human souls; will you be a soft-bristled brush in His redemptive hands?

REFLECTION QUESTIONS:

  1. What pleasure motivates you in the bedroom: the pleasure of God or your own pleasure
  2. How might you be using your spouse as a tool for your own sexual pleasure, instead of caring for them by worshiping God in the act of sex?
  3. What sexual struggles are you experiencing in the marriage bed? What might these struggles reveal about your character outside of the bedroom?
