Sex Series

Does the word “sex” make you uncomfortable? Does sex make you think about “hurling” when you process talking about it with your student? Did you just get a lump in your throat?

We want to help and affirm the teaching you as parents are giving your students on this topic. God has much to say about sex in scripture. Just to name a few.

Applicable Scripture on the Topic: Ephesians 5:3 Colossians 3:5-6 , 1 Corinthians 6:12-19

We believe sex is a special gift from God only to be shared with our husband or wife. Our desire is to help you and your students clearly communicate about sex no matter how weird you may feel about it.

Over the years the Church has stayed silent on this topic for far to long relegating sexual education to primetime media. Our desire as a student ministry is to seek to have open, real, and clear communication about sex and sexual issues and how it relates to students and families. This series will tackle topics such as Biblical Foundation of Sex, Guys and Girls Only Issues, and Parent and Student issues. We believe this is a vary necessary topic as so many students are faced sexual pressure everyday. This series is beyond talking about just don't have sex. It will look at the importance of waiting and the fact that not having sex has less to do with getting pregnant or a disease. Waiting has to do with trusting God with your future and making wise choices.

Andy Stanley and Stuart Hall said it best, Purity paves the way to Intimacy. We really have a desire for every one of our students to wait until marriage for any type of sexual relationship with anyone. Sex is way beyond a physical activity. We want our students to understand what could be missed by mistrusting God. We also want students to understand their significance in Christ and His desire for them to experience a intimate relationship at the right time. There is so much pressure on our students these days and we want to help them combat the pressure by seeking God with all their hearts.

I want to encourage you to allow your students to participate in this incredible series about God’s design starting February 4th at The Brook on Wednesday Nights. Doors open at 6pm and everything gets cranked up at 6:30pm. I would also like to invite you (parent) to come meet with us on February 18th at 6:30pm in Building Four. There are no reservations needed. We would love for you to come with questions and an open heart. God wants your students to seek out purity, just as I know it is your desire as well. I consider it a great privilege and honor to work with your students during this journey. We want to support you. I want to encourage you to comment or email me if you have any questions. I believe this could be one of the best series we have ever had in our student ministry. I am praying that it will help you and your student open up a new chapter as it relates to relationships and sexual issues. I am praying for you.
