2 Relevant??: Org churches to tackle Sex on Sunday
 
JG's church in San Fran, http://www.sflighthouse.com

and MJ's in Newark, DE http://www.yourjourney.tv/index2.php

Will begin a series, this coming month, entitled: Sex on Sundays


JG's website reads:


Quote:

Sex on Sundays Sunday Feb 1, 2009
9:30 and 11:30
1337 Sutter Street, San Francisco

http://www.sflighthouse.com.asp1-4.w...c-Vertical.gif Is it kinda hot in here or is it just you? Get comfortable. Every Sunday in February at Lighthouse, we’ll be tackling sex through the lens of the creation story in the book of Genesis. Genesis is about beginnings. Genesis is about sex. Because it was there, front and center – in the beginning.

Ever since though, we’ve been all blush, blush, wink, wink, nod, nod about sex. Letting a corrupt world define the single most beautiful human experience there is; letting sex get pulled over into a dim alley and beaten senseless by thugs who have anything but their victim’s best interests in mind. So good news at Lighthouse this February: we’re rescuing Sex, shining a searchlight into the dark¬ness, chasing away the crooks, helping sex back to its feet and brushing it (and us) off. We’re getting real about this stuff, people. We’re turning the light on.
Is this too relevant? Appropriate for a Sunday?

What say ye?

Maybe ok in an adults only class. No children. Not for the whole congregation.

That figures for San Francisco. When they leave the fold anything may happen and it's not usually good.

If an old pastor of ours would have done this series of lessons it would have been entitled, "Sex: God's plan for Procreation and Church growth! (except on Sundays when it is not allowed)".

So, we'll take that as a vote against? ;)

If I attended there - I'd probably have to visit another church during Feb.

Excellent marketing strategy! Go for it Lighthouse.

For those that may be concerned, I don't think we can cast much judgment until we see the lesson outline. I am trusting that my Holy Ghost filled peers have the wisdom to deal with mixed audiences.
By the way, does Tim from Lighthouse post on here? If so, please PM me...

There's an old joke about that.

A pastor was planning on speaking about water skiing in his Sunday morning sermon. His wife did not go that morning. The pastor decided instead to speak on sex, but, of course his wife did not realize he had changed his topic.

The following day, one of the sistas called her and told her in glowing terms what a great sermon her husband had preached the day before.

The wife was kinda surprised and said,
"Well he really doesn't know much about the subject.
Most of what he knows has come from things he's read about it
or from watching others.
He's actually only tried it once,
and then he fell off before he really got going."

She wondered why the sista on the other end of the line gasped and then got real quiet.

Admin, you can delete this if you think it's inappropriate.
