This Sunday, we conclude the three-week series "Marriage Doesn't Suck" at Reflect Church. It has been a fun and fruitful series. I've already heard of many "Christ-revealing moments" that are leading to a more Christ-reflecting marriage. Don't miss this Sunday, as we bring it all home, and talk about the fruit of a husband's loving pursuit and wife's respectful response: ONENESS.Specifically, how oneness is expressed and cultivated through emotional and physical intimacy. A husband who is pursuing his wife's heart will WANT to talk to his wife on a deep level; a wife who is responding to her husband will WANT to have sex with him. In the Garden, the natural byproduct of marital oneness is being "naked and unashamed." However, many marriages are "clothed and ashamed." But there is good news: the gospel brings sexy back.
So, invite someone this Sunday, as we'll have "real talk" about God's design for marriage. If you missed the last two Sundays, watch the video(s) by clicking the links below:
Week 1: LOVE & RESPECT
Week 2: PURSUE & RESPOND
Also, WEDNESDAYS at 7:00pm, Pastor Timothy and Tara are opening their home (8981 Arborview Drive, 95758) to discuss the principles of Love & Respect and Pursuit & Response. Childcare is available, so please text Timothy at 916-715-8015 if you are coming.
This Sunday, we're bringing sexy back...because God designed marriage to be a fruitful vine. The Good news is that marriage doesn't suck, and the gospel has the power to redeem and rescue marriages.
In Christ,

DISCLAIMER: The Bible talks openly and frankly about sex in the context of marriage. God created marriage to flourish "naked and unashamed." It was sin that drove Adam and Eve to cover up and hide. The Gospel is the power of God to redeem His original design for sex, and to make it even better! In Proverbs and Song of Songs, the Word of God talks about sex openly, but in a respectful and tasteful manner, out of reverence for God. It is with that tone and spirit, Pastor Timothy and Tara will speak about sex this Sunday. However, some of the conversation may be inappropriate for pre-teens. Therefore, we trust parents will prayerfully consider whether it is appropriate for their pre-teens/teens to attend. We believe it may be a great opportunity to openly talk with your children about what God has to say about sex. They already hear what the world has to say, why not take the time to hear what God has to say about the issue?
