Prayer:

Thank you for the gift of sex and that it's more than we could have imagines in the past. It's more meaningful than we every knew. You long to be one with us and have written it on our bodies.

0:00.0	Hey everybody, thanks again for joining me back on the Heaven in Your Home podcast.
0:10.0	This is Francie Winslow, and today we're going to dive into part two of a pretty
0:14.8	dense topic. And I'm just lightly touching on it because we just don't have the time to really get
0:23.0	into all of it. It would be probably a week's worth of conversation and really a lifetime of
0:28.9	discovery. But we are talking about what sex tells us about God, what sex reveals to us about
0:35.2	God. And today we're going to just dive into a different facet. It's kind of like a
0:40.6	diamond that has different facets. And last week we talked about how sex was directly connected to the
0:46.0	reality that we were made for love, we were made for communion, we were made for intimacy, and that even
0:51.5	our body parts communicate and reveal that and how it all points us back
0:56.6	to the reality that God is the one who satisfies. God is the love we were made for and that marriage
1:01.8	and sex are like signposts pointing us to the reality that yes, we were made with this ache
1:07.2	for love, but God is the eternal love that fills us. And today we're going to talk
1:12.3	about how sex points to our calling to fruitfulness and the first great commission that was given
1:18.2	to a husband and a wife. We're going to dive into the reality that oneness leads to fruitfulness
1:24.5	and how it is all part of revealing God's plan to fill the earth with his
1:31.0	goodness, with a revelation of his love and a capacity overflowing from within us to show that love to
1:38.9	others. Before we start, let's pray. Father, thank you so much for your love for us. Thank you that you wrote it
1:44.8	on our bodies, that you marked us with your very image as male and female because you wanted us to
1:51.1	see and feel and taste and understand what you're like. And when we get to understand the reality
1:59.3	that we're image bearers and that our gender and our bodies point like a mirror to something bigger, we get to understand and know more of you.
2:08.2	So we just ask for more revelation, more understanding, more connection with you on this topic of sex and our bodies and sexuality and gender and the great commission
2:19.6	you've given us to live abundant lives of fruitfulness based in intimate love.
