Desire, Bodies, and Sex, OH MY!
No bones about it: Song of Songs is steamy. Before this sermon is through, we will acknowledge that people do, in fact, have sex. We will hear about desire and the clandestine rendezvous of lovers. We will learn that Pastor Megan has become an avid reader of romance novels, and bear witness as she practices more unapologetically owning that. We will celebrate bodies and the joy of human sexuality. We will dwell in the Sublime Song of young lovers who love themselves and one another with sensuous abandon. And we will call it all “holy”. Thanks be to God for the Song of all Songs!
