Podcasts about Song of Songs

The Song of Songs has been silenced, sanitized, and spiritualized into obscurity. Too passionate for children, too dangerous for pulpits, and once removed from an early Bible translation altogether, this book has long made religious leaders uncomfortable. But what if the discomfort is the point? Melissa Schilling Smith dismantles centuries of tradition to reveal who the Song of Songs is really about and why its message confronts every believer today.

Week 2 in our Song of Songs series: dating, marriage, and everything in between. This message walks through Song of Songs 1–2 and highlights four marks of a woman of God: honest, wise, life-giving, and rooted in Christ. We also share a candid conversation on how clarity, community, and confession strengthen relationships—especially when life gets heavy. Stay through the end for a powerful moment of a husband and a wife walking together in honesty. #PhoenixBibleChurch #LoveMoves #SongOfSongs #MomensMinistry #ChristianMarriage #DatingWithPurpose #Discipleship Phoenix Bible Church is a church in the heart of the city of Phoenix, Arizona. We desire to engage culture, uphold truth and love people. In a world where life can be heavy and confusing, we want to cover the hard truths - with grace. This is difficulty and messy - and so are we - but the love of Jesus meets us in our mess. Our rhythm is to gather to worship on Sunday and then scatter during the week to love, live and lead together. We are imperfect people moved by the perfect love of Jesus. Come as you are. Experience His love. #LoveMoves

Most of us want real intimacy. And most of us are terrified of it.In Song of Songs 2–3, love calls a woman out from behind the walls — and she hesitates. In this sermon, we'll explore why we hide, why vulnerability feels so risky, and how we are made to be fully known and fully loved. From the poetry of the Song to the story of Jesus calling Mary by name, this message invites you to wrestle with what it means to come out of hiding and receive a love strong enough to heal.

Sex is everywhere in our culture. It shapes how we think about identity, belonging, and happiness, often without us realizing it. In this message, Pastor Phil explores what God actually says about sex and why His design is not restrictive but protective. Send a text

In 2026, culture offers men two options: dominate or disappear. Scripture offers a better way: Jesus. This week, we opened Song of Songs and talked about what a man of God looks like in real relationships: leading with humble responsibility, walking with integrity in community, being clear and kind, and creating safety. Love Moves when Christ shapes the way we love. #PhoenixBibleChurch #LoveMoves #SongOfSongs #MensMinistry #ChristianMarriage #DatingWithPurpose #Discipleship Phoenix Bible Church is a church in the heart of the city of Phoenix, Arizona.

Valentine's Day on Sabbath only comes around every seven years — and this week at Oakridge Adventist Church in Vancouver, we leaned into it.Continuing our Wanted series through the biblical book of Song of Songs, this message explores a powerful truth: our human desire, attraction, and embodied love are not accidents of biology — they are sacred design.Often misunderstood or over-spiritualized, Song of Songs reminds us that intimacy carries theological weight. From eye contact that bonds us… to the calming power of a loving voice… to the science behind touch, scent, and even a kiss — this message unpacks how modern neurobiology beautifully affirms what Scripture has always celebrated: we are fearfully and wonderfully made.Rather than separating body and spirit, this sermon reveals how our biology actually points to theology. The God who created galaxies also created goosebumps. The One who formed the universe formed the chemistry of connection within us.Whether you're single, married, grieving, celibate, or somewhere in between — this message invites you to see your whole self as sacred and designed for covenant love.✨ Attraction. Attachment. Covenant. ✨ Not lust, but wholeness. ✨ Not shame, but sacred embodiment.Listen now and rediscover the holy purpose woven into your very design.Visit Us at oacvancouver.ca We believe that Jesus is needed and relevant for people in Vancouver today.

Throughout history, there have been countless songs, poems, and books written about love. Yet, we know that turning to pop culture for advice on finding love is not the wisest course of action. In this message, Pastor J.D. reminds us from Song of Solomon 1 and 2 of some foundational truths about love that are helpful in navigating singleness, dating, and marriage. In the end, these earthly forms of love are intended to be a signpost, pointing us to the much greater love that God has for us.

Love is more than a feeling; it's a promise, a passion, and a power strong enough to withstand life’s fiercest storms. The Song of Songs celebrates romantic love in marriage, yet ultimately points beyond itself to a deeper, covenantal love that no waters can quench. In Christ, we see a love sealed by promise, marked by holy jealousy, and proven stronger than death itself. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris unfolds the promise, passion, and power of God’s unquenchable love for his people. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

A man tells a woman she looks like a horse. She swoons. This is Scripture.This sermon starts our journey through the Song of Songs—exploring attraction, romance, consummation, conflict, and unbreakable commitment.In this first movement (Song of Songs 1:1–2:7), we step into a love song tucked right into the heart of Scripture. It's playful, sensual, awkward, tender—and radically countercultural. A woman speaks first. A man compares his lover to a warhorse (and yes, that's romantic). Desire is named without shame. Attraction begins with character, not chemistry.This song refuses both sexual repression and casual, consumeristic sex. Instead, it offers a vision of love that is intoxicating and wise—one built on friendship, safety, and the courage to wait. It asks hard questions about timing, trust, vulnerability, and what it really means to give yourself to another person.Whether you're single, dating, married, wounded, or just curious, this sermon invites you to wrestle with a deeper story of intimacy—and to see how human love ultimately points beyond itself to the faithful, healing love of Jesus.Download the group discussion guide here.

Marriage carries deep hopes, wounds, and longings, yet Scripture invites us to see it as something far richer than culture’s changing definitions. In the Song of Songs, marriage is revealed as a joyful, covenantal union marked by exclusivity, mutuality, and enduring commitment. Beyond human relationships, marriage also points to a greater mystery — the faithful, pursuing love of Christ for his people. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris unpacks a theology of marriage that reshapes how we understand love, commitment, and our ultimate hope in Christ. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

Preaching: Ben ConachanThe tradition of wisdom is expansive. On the one hand, conventional wisdom provides insights into living when life goes as it's expected to go. On the other hand, radical wisdom provides insights into living when life takes surprising turns. Then there's stages of wisdom—pre-rational, rational, and post-rational—which offer unique insights into our many phases of development. And of course, in our Christian tradition, there's Christ, who is called, “The wisdom of God.” This sermon series will plumb the depths of wisdom's complexity, seeking light capable of holding us, grounding us, and inspiring us, no matter the circumstance or stage we find ourselves in.Pearl Church exists to express a sacred story and to extend a common table that animate life by love. A primary expression of our sacred story is the weekly sermon. If our sermons inspire you to ponder the sacred, to consider the mystery and love of God, and to live bountifully, would you consider supporting our work?

In a culture obsessed with self-definition, the search for identity often leaves us restless rather than secure. Scripture offers a better way: identity received, not achieved, rooted in being fully known and deeply loved by God. The Song of Songs reveals how love shapes who we are and who we are becoming in Christ. Watch this sermon as Jason Harris explores how a theology of identity frees us from self-invention and grounds us in God’s transforming love. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

Why did God put an erotic poem in the middle of my Bible?I grew up in church. Sat through thousands of sermons. And somehow never heard about the Song of Songs—one of the most beautiful, confusing, and ignored books in the Bible.It's a collection of erotic love poetry. And it's right there in your Bible, sandwiched between the Psalms and the prophets.So... why?Is it just ancient relationship advice? A guide to dating and marriage? Or is there something deeper going on—something that points us toward the greatest love story ever told?In this message, we explore:Why churches have historically avoided this book (and why that's a mistake)How celibate monks became obsessed with these love poemsWhy ancient rabbis sang the Song of Songs at PassoverWhat this book reveals about desire, intimacy, and being truly knownHow it all points to the CrossThis isn't just for people who are dating or married. It's for anyone who's ever longed to be loved, pursued, seen—and wondered if that ache means something.

The Liberating, Sacred, and Mutual Love of Jesus

Book of Song of Songs ~ Bible Study | 2026

DESCRIPTION: TNS 18, 1 (Tuesday, 20 January 2026) - the Author (s) of the Song of Songs (late 4th to early 2nd centuries BCE) - Love as Eros (Erotic)I am aware of no biblical book that has received the attention of so many of the greatest minds and mystics, Jewish and Christian, in history than this biblical book. “If all the [biblical] writings are holy,” Rabbi Akiva proclaimed in a discussion of the Song's canonicity, “the Song of Songs is holy of holies.” And the magnificent Spiritual Canticle of St. John of the Cross (1542-1591) is clearly a nod to this great biblical text. Robert Alter (born 1935), a Professor of Hebrew at the University of California at Berkeley and a renowned translator of the whole Old Testament puts it this way:"But even against that background, the Song of Songs stands out in its striking distinctiveness—a distinctiveness that deserves to be called wondrous. The delicate yet frank sensuality of this celebration of young love, without reference to God or covenant or Torah, has lost nothing of its immediate freshness over the centuries: these are among the most beautiful love poems that have come down to us from the whole ancient world."Welcome to The Night School.

Desire is often treated with suspicion or excess, but Scripture presents it as a good gift that reveals something essential about what it means to be human. In the Song of Songs, desire is shown as both divine and dangerous — meant to be cherished, yet requiring wisdom, patience, and proper direction. Ultimately, our deepest longings point beyond human love to a God who desires relationship with us more deeply than we imagine. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris explores how a theology of desire helps us understand our hearts, order our loves, and rest in the one who alone can truly satisfy. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.
