The tension, conflict, and difficulty in the sexual relationship seem ‘normal’ today. Jesus, however, challenges us to recognise that ‘it was not this way in the beginning’ (Matthew 19:8). In the beginning, man and woman experienced the free-flow of God’s ‘wine’ (divine love) between them. The tragedy of the original sin is that we have all ‘run out of wine’. But the good news of the gospel is that Christ came to restore God’s wine to the sexual relationship in superabundance. Christopher West presents this hopeful, liberating, and redeeming vision of life, love, marriage, and sexuality. |

From beginning to end, the Bible tells the story of marriage. It begins with the marriage of man and woman and it ends with a vision of the ‘Marriage of the Lamb’, the eternal embrace of Christ and the church. Christopher West presents this astounding vision of heaven as the ultimate fulfillment of the deepest and most ‘wild’ yearnings of our heart for sexual love and union. |

‘Love one another as I have loved you.’ This not only summarises the gospel, it also summarises the meaning of human sexuality: for the call to love as Christ loves is inscribed by God right in our bodies as male and female. Join Christopher West, as he looks beyond mere prohibitions to the overall biblical vision of sexuality that provides the truth that sets us free to love in God’s image. |
