Nudge 3 - The Gift of Taste - The Spice of Life - Song of Solomon 4:9-16

January 22, 2012

Langdon Palmer

The Song of Songs has some awfully sensual langauge in it. Spicy Language. In fact spices are mentioned over 40 times across 16 books of the Old and New Testament. Jesus himself enjoys giving sensual experiences to people. What is going on here? Is there a whole side of the bible we have been missing? What about the Cross? It turns out that after the Cross, one of the primary images of the scriptures is the Table. Come join us as we learn how to live in the space between the Cross and the Table - as people able to delight in physical senses because we first delight in the giver of all good gifts!
