SERIES: THE GENESIS EFFECT: How We Got Here From There
MESSAGE: NAKED
TEXT: Genesis 2:18-25
SYNOPSIS: As we discovered thus far in our series, we were created for relationship. God is foremost relational, and so he made us in his image the same way. This imago dei of humanity is expressed as co-humanity, male and female, male or female. It follows then that sexuality is at the core of what it means to be human, not subsequent to it. But sexuality is more than what two people experience as physical pleasure. It involves all the ways we try to connect - with the world, with others, with God. To be naked, then, is not simply to strip down to our underwear with another, but to peel back the layers of our souls. It's the ability, whether married or single, to relate deeply with others because we are at peace with ourselves. This is sexy.
