Hello, this is Ashley Chase welcoming you to the Mark Driscoll podcast.

For more content from my dad, Pastor Mark, senior pastor here at the Trinity Church in Scottsdale, Arizona,

visit real faith.com, where you'll find study guides to go along with each sermon series as he

preaches verse by verse through books of the Bible, daily devotions, free

e-books and more. Now grab your Bibles and get ready for today's sermon.

All right, you came back from last week, congratulations,

even though it was awkward, I'm so glad to see you.

And we're just gearing up heading into Valentine's Day

with the Real Romance Series.

And so let me just introduce it briefly,

and we'll be in Song of Songs,

in Old Testament Book, Chapter 1.

If you've got your Bible, you can find your place there.

So the Song of Songs, it is a great epic love story it's all

about marriage and marital enjoyment and it's got 12 scenes and so Grace

and I wrote a book called Real Romance you can grab grab a free copy here. It'll be out next month

through our friends at Exo Marriage and Real Faith. And what we do, we go through the 12 scenes of the

Song of Songs. I'm going to cover eight of those in sermons in January and February.

You'll ask where are the other four?

They're in the book or on the Real Marriage Podcast.

You can find it anywhere.

Those are the four sections that are really spicy.
