And so I'd love if you could just speak into some of those spaces, because I think um the reason that we might be selling ourselves short and getting broken unintentionally is because we don't understand design and we don't understand the power of it so can you speak into those spaces

how long have you got i this is covenant yeah theology is something i'm so passionate about because uh not just because it's got everything to do with marriage and and sexuality but it's It's actually the entire structure of your Bible.

And so a lot of people ask, well, why do we have to save sex for marriage? You know, if say using that fire analogy that I mentioned before, if sex is like fire, why And then marriage is the fireplace.

Why? Because the fireplace is permanent and stable and it doesn't move.

And so that's going to be the context that God has ordained for sex.

The fire belongs in the fireplace and there it's going to flourish.

It's not going to restrict the blessing, the boundaries of covenant.

Why did God want it to be this way? Yeah, why one person?

If you're taking notes today, I've titled this message Running From the Call.

[gasps] Ooh.

Oh.

No, it's gonna be so good.

[laughs] We talked about chasing the call of God and choosing the call of God this morning.

Now we're gonna talk about running or resisting the call of God.

I have been so stirred in my faith for what I believe God is gonna do across this conference.

Yeah.

And actually, what I believe the Lord wants to do in the nation of New Zealand.

Yes.

Come on.

Come on.
