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.
