Passion City Church DC Podcast

This week, as we finish up our time in Song of Solomon, Pastor Ben Stuart addresses one of the major questions that has undergirded the entire series: what is love? Examining the relationship of the couple in Song of Solomon, Pastor Ben explores seven different ways that our relationships should mirror God's design for intimacy. Key Verses // Song of Solomon 8:5-14—Do you feel frustrated by a pattern of personal failures, overwhelmed by a chaotic culture, or disillusioned by a lack of meaning in everyday life? Your struggles do not mean you’re doomed. They’re actually a sign that you are alive. Now it’s a question of whether you will struggle well. Pastor Ben's new book, Rest & War, is a field guide designed to equip you to walk elegantly through the battlefield of life. Rest & War is out now, order your copy today!https://www.restandwar.com/—Give towards what God is doing through Passion City Church: https://passioncitychurch.com/give-online—With Passion City Online you can join us every Sunday for gatherings at 9:30a + 11:30a! Join us at https://passioncitychurch.com/dcSubscribe to our Youtube channel to see more messages https://www.youtube.com/passioncitychurchdc—At Passion City Church, we believe that because God has displayed the ultimate sacrifice in Jesus, our response to that in worship must be extravagant.
