Song Of Songs | Christ & The Church
Shared on: Jul 17, 2023
Historically, Christians have differed as to how to interpret the Song of Songs. Is it a historical book about how a man and a woman should love one another, or, is it an allegory of the love relationship between Christ and his Bride, the Church? In this sermon collection you will find a mix of both views, especially in the sermons that have been selected. However you choose to preach this book, or a chapter of this book, the purpose of preaching must always be considered--to convict and convert sinners, and to build up the saints of God in hope and comfort. Redemptive preaching must be our focus. This sermon collection will help you to that end.
