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, hey we're in a really fun series.

At least I'm having fun, I don't know about you.

It's really fun to see your faces as I talk about these things.

We're talking about marriage and romance and sex, and we're having a good time and today we continue in the song of songs old testament book chapter 2 verse 8 through chapter 3 verse 5 and the big subject is overcoming intimacy obstacles.

Let me say this, if you are paying attention,

you will realize that between last week's sermon

and this week's sermon, there is a section

in the song of songs that I am skipping. I am skipping it because the

song of songs is like salsa. There's like mild and then hot. And so I decided I'm

going to preach all the mild sections and if you want the hot sections it's in the book it's free

Get a copy on the way out or buy it if you're online real romance or Grace and I have got a real marriage

Podcast and we deal with the section that I am skipping.

Amen?

And so you're like, what does it say?

Well, I can't tell you because I need to fire myself,

but it will be helpful if you are married and frustrating

if you're single.
