The sermon explores the deep, intimate relationship between Christ and believers, using the Song of Songs as a metaphor. The speaker emphasises that Christianity is not merely about doctrines or duties, but rather a loving relationship with Jesus. He shares personal experiences of powerful prayer meetings and encourages listeners to find their unique calling in partnership with Christ. The key message is that true Christian life involves actively seeking and responding to Jesus' presence, leading to a joyful, purposeful walk with Him.
"Tonight we can look at a place where there actually is a snippet of the same material that was said by Jesus up the mountain, recorded in Matthew... And what it is about is discipleship, because it's about the calling of his disciples. In particular, to appoint twelve of those that he'd called to be apostles. And so what we're actually looking at here is Jesus seeking to call people into ministry involvements. To be an apostle was a specialty of serving Christ."
