The Encounter

Łódź Szymon Karkowski 07.05.2023 Sermon 2 of 7

A simple girl working in a vineyard, browned by the sun and convinced she is no beauty, catches the eye of the king himself. That scene opens a new series on the Song of Songs (Song of Songs 1), the biblical poem about love and intimacy that preachers so often pass over in silence. The message asks what should genuinely draw us to another person, and why real love refuses to be rushed. Listen, whatever stage of relationship you find yourself in today.

For Better or Worse

How do you build relationships at different stages of a relationship? How do you move from the getting-to-know-each-other stage, through the decision to live together and any crises, to a mature relationship? If you want to find out, you can’t miss our new teaching series on the Song of Songs. This book has stirred emotions for centuries because, in describing the relationship between a man and a woman, it devotes a great deal of attention to the charms of physical intimacy. Although it was written in ancient times, it remains surprisingly relevant today.
