In today's message, we delved into the poignant imagery of Song of Solomon 8:5, which asks, "Who is this coming up from the wilderness leaning on her beloved?" This verse beautifully portrays the journey of someone who has been prepared and shaped in the wilderness, finding strength and support in their beloved.

As we explore Song of Solomon 8:6-7, we encounter a profound love that yearns for more of God. It's a love that desires to be continually close to Him, to seek His presence with fervor. And in this pursuit, we discover that God directs His gaze upon those who earnestly seek Him.

Our first love for God is one that ignites within us a desire for more of Him. It's a longing to be wherever He is, to dwell in His presence continually. And as we journey with Him, we're reminded that He alone sustains us, empowering us to pursue Him with all that we have.

So let us not grow weary in our pursuit of God. Let us continue to press forward, leaning on our beloved, knowing that He is the source of our strength and the fulfillment of our deepest desires.

In this message, we'll explore Song of Solomon's depiction of God's pursuit of us and His call for us to actively seek Him. Chapter 7's imagery of "beautiful feet in sandals" signifies readiness and urgency in pursuing God. We'll delve into the significance of this pursuit, highlighting the importance of recognizing our dependence on God and maintaining hope for what lies ahead. Join us as we reflect on our own pursuit of God, seeking to deepen our relationship with the One who relentlessly pursues us. How are your fee beautiful before the Lord?

Our Song of Solomon series continues as Pastor Shane examines Jesus’ pursuit of us through the actions of chapter 6. We are given three possible prices for his love — convenient, challenging, and costly — and encouraged to match His character and the way He loves us.

This message delves into Song of Solomon 5:8, where the speaker declares being "lovesick." This verse marks a shift from mere contemplation to active pursuit of God. It challenges us to consider the cost of seeking Him and whether we're truly present when He is near. We'll discuss the need to set aside pride and embrace undignified desperation in our pursuit of God, recognizing that true encounter requires letting go of self-focus. Let's explore what it means to run to the Lord with sincere praise, ready to encounter Him in our deepest moments of need.

How will we respond to Jesus’ love? How will others react when they see our response? Pastor Shane continues the Song of Solomon series, explaining that the bride’s aloof reception of her love foreshadows our response to him. We’re encouraged to realize when we’ve wronged the One who loves us and pursue Him no matter how strange it may appear to those around us.

We have a Bridegroom who wants to be found, who can be found, and who shows us how to find Him.
