In *Better Than Sex, Part 2: A Purpose with a Plan*, the sermon teaches that God’s design for sex is both purposeful and protective, intended to be experienced only within the covenant of marriage between one man and one woman. Drawing from Genesis 2:19 –25 and Hebrews 13:4, the message emphasizes that marriage is to be honored and the marriage bed kept pure, warning of the personal and societal harm that comes when God’s plan is ignored. Pastor Mark affirms that sexual intimacy is a sacred gift meant to unite spouses, build families, and reflect Christ’s love for the church, while also affirming that those who are single are called to celibacy as an equally honorable expression of faithfulness. The sermon highlights both God’s standards and His grace—reminding listeners that even those who have fallen short can find forgiveness, renewal, and strength to live in purity through repentance and dependence on God’s goodness. Ultimately, believers are urged to keep their vows to God and others, living as a faithful “bride of Christ” in anticipation of the final marriage supper of the Lamb.
