Sermon – Broken Sex (Song of Songs#4)
In this, the fourth of five sermons, Des Smith shows how the reality of life is reflected in the Song of Songs. Even in this intense love poem we can see the way humanity has corrupted and “broken” God’s good gift of sex. Today, such corruption includes pornography, sexual abuse and domestic violence but Des explains how anybody affected by “broken sex” can, through the suffering of Jesus, receive healing and help.
If you seek help in dealing with pornography or sexual abuse or domestic violence the resources at “Where to find help for those who need it?” may assist you.

Upholding Singleness
Song of Songs is a beautiful book that millions of Christians, both single and married, have read and studied with great profit. However, for some – and in particular those not currently in a relationship – it can be difficult.
In any church family there will be folk who are single – those who have never been married and those who have been married and are now single. Due to a breakdown in relationship, divorce, death of a spouse, a struggle against same-sex attraction, or other reason, Song of Songs may push some unhappy buttons.
Sermon – True Romance (Song of Songs#1)
In this, the first of five sermons, Des Smith explores “the strangest book in the Bible”. In what appears to be a graphic and intense love poem Des explains how human romantic love points to a bigger love story for the whole world – between God and people. Song of Songs is indeed about one man and one woman, as well as men and women, and way they love each other. But that reality – romantic love and life-long commitment that is reflected in marriage – is a picture God placed in world to point towards the ultimate reality of his love for us. A love shown in the gospel as His Son died on a cross. In this sense Song of Songs is book for everyone because it ultimately points to the love of God for everyone.
