Love, Sex, and Lasting Relationships

Everyone wants to love and be loved.  The pursuit of “true love” is everywhere you look!  It’s romanticized on TV and in the movies we watch.  There are books about it, songs about it, Internet dating, and even seminars on it…all of which are designed to “help” you find that special someone to love.

So why is “true love” so elusive?  Could it be that the picture of love we see in today's culture is nothing more than an illusion?  If so, what does real love look like?

In this 10-part small group curriculum, you'll discover that there is a better way to find love, stay in love, and grow in intimacy for a lifetime.  Chip Ingram unpacks Ephesians Chapter 5 and delivers to us God's prescription for building relationships that last a lifetime.

 Men and Women

A lot has been written on the subject of romantic love, but we don't often talk about how to nurture non-romantic friendships between men and women. Yet this kind of closeness holds an emotional power that can meet some of our deepest needs for intimacy.

So why does friendship between men and women often resemble a giant jigsaw puzzle with some key pieces missing—pieces like empathy, kindness, camaraderie, affection, transparency, and trust? Some of the pieces are straight-edged, easy-to-recognize border pieces like “understanding gender differences,” while others are the elusive interior pieces, like “exploring what it means to be a safe person.” When you find and fit all the pieces together, you have a complete picture of how God intended men and women to honor and enjoy their complementary natures.

This interactive guide on what it means for men and women to be friends is divided into five big ideas addressed through brief essays, Bible passages, questions, and quotes from experts and ordinary people, and a last section to help you answer the question “So what?”

Depending on your learning style, you can choose to explore the subject through talking, reading, writing, drawing, performing, or building—a variety of ways to think about the intriguing nature of true friendship between the sexes.

 Experiencing Life

Sometimes it's difficult to do the right thing. We may know in our hearts what God wants us to do, but we are afraid—afraid that our friends will laugh at us or that we'll look stupid.

Experiencing Life offers biblical examples of some of the harder situations you might encounter and gives you the courage to persevere in the face of peer pressure and uncertainty. Useful as a discussion tool in small groups, this Bible study teaches you to love and serve others as Jesus did—even when you don't want to.
