Sex Blends Spirits

April 7, 2025

Sex outside of marriage and pornography is applauded today, and portrayed as perfectly acceptable.  And many are seeking fulfillment in that realm, just as the man we’ll hear about today on Study the Word.  But what you may not realize is, when you have sex with someone there’s a blending of spirits that occurs.  That’s why God has designed it for the marriage relationship alone.  Pastor Thom Keller’s message today is based in Ecclesiastes two.

If you’re a believer in Christ I’m sure you’ve given some thought to what our arrival in heaven will be like!  Maybe like myself you’ve had some loved ones enter into heaven recently.  We’re talking about that glorious day when we arrive in heaven, today on Study the Word, as pastor Thom Keller returns to First Corinthians.  We’ll be in chapter three today.

We again open our Bibles to the book of Ecclesiastics, chapter two. This chapter can be capsulated this way: The futility of pleasure and possession, and true satisfaction is found in a relationship with Christ.

We’ve got a great study lined up for you today in the first and second chapters of Ecclesiastics.  King Solomon found out the hard way that the material and sensual pleasures he pursued were really worthless. That’s a great lesson for us in this materialistic, pleasure seeking world we live in.

Maybe today you’re down and discouraged not knowing where to turn?  We’ll hear of one man’s struggle to find the meaning and purpose in life and draw inspiration and wisdom from it today on Study the Word.  His conclusion is the same we should arrive at, and that is apart from God life is empty and frustrating.  But the good news is if we’ll trust in Christ and live for the glory of God we can find what we’re missing.

M. aterial possessions have nothing to do with eternal happiness. If you’re looking for a perfect example of this truth, you need look no further than King Solomon. He had everything a man could want materially - and yet he reached a time in his life when he felt completely empty.  Maybe that’s the station in life you’re at today? The book of Ecclesiastics is the outpouring of those feelings from the heart of Solomon.

Today we embark on a new series in the book of Ecclesiastics. This book is attributed to King Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived. As wise as he was, we can see in the twelve chapters of this book that he also made some foolish choices.

We’re just getting our topical study of First Corinthians underway.  I’m sure you have unsaved friends and family members as I do.  And we desperately want to see them saved!  As we get started pastor Thom gives us some pointers that can help in our witnessing endeavors.  We’re in First Corinthians chapter one today.

The book of Ezra records how the people of God committed offenses on many levels. And yet what God does nationally through the intercession of His people - He can do personally - in your situation.

As we continue our look at the Old Testament book of Ezra we will find wisdom for our most important relationships.

We’re in the Old Testament book of Ezra. We pick up in chapter nine with the reading of the Bible and the response of the people who truly heard it. It’s an exciting reminder of the power of God’s Word.

About Study the Word

Study the Word is a radio ministry of Calvary Chapel Lebanon, Pennsylvania. It features the teaching ministry of pastor Thom Keller.  As we go verse by verse through the Scriptures, our hearts desire is to encourage you to not only Study the Word, but seek to follow God and obey His Word.

About Pastor Thom Keller

Thom began teaching an inner-city Bible study in 1995. That love of teaching God’s word eventually led to the formation of Calvary Chapel Lebanon in October, 2001, with about 50 people meeting in an old hardware store. Our church ministry and philosophy centers on teaching God’s word chapter by chapter, verse by verse.

Prior to pastoring, Thom was president and general manager of Keller Brothers Ford, a third-generation family business that began in 1921.  After 8 years of bi-vocational ministry, in 2009, Thom sold the business and became a full-time pastor.

Thom and his wife, Sue, live near Schaefferstown. Thom and Sue enjoy snow skiing, mountain biking and motorcycle rides.  Thom has often said that he loves performing weddings because he loves being married!

Ted, pictured above is Sue’s brother who has lived with Thom and Sue since 2001.

“It has been an absolute joy to see the changes God is bringing about in the lives of individuals, marriages and families at Calvary Chapel. God’s word does not return void!”

Currently we have worship services Sunday morning at 8:00 AM, 9:30 AM and 11:00 AM at our church located at 740 Willow St.  Please introduce yourself when you stop by!
