Last Sunday we started our new series entitled ‘My Pleasure’.  It is five sessions exploring serious pleasure!

We kicked off with ‘Pleasure; the fullest and the longest’.  Psalm 16v11 says “You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures for evermore.” (ESV) 

No-one or nothing else can make a better claim to pleasure and joy than that.  You can not get fuller than full or longer than evermore.  The invitation to trust in and follow God is an invitation to pleasure - pure, unadulterated, incomparable, inexpressible pleasure!

The next three talks will be considering three specific pleasures.  Starting this Sunday 11th May with ‘Sex in another position’.  Then on the 8th June ‘Happy hour; drinks are on me’ and then ‘A sure bet’ on the 22nd June.  The plan then is to finish the series off with ‘His Pleasure’ a look at what God himself takes pleasure in, on the 13th July. 

We normally work through a book of the Bible, recently finishing a look at Colossians and will be starting a series looking at the book of Luke alongside ‘My pleasure’.  However, I wanted to spend some time specifically looking at the subject of pleasure as it is something which is often misunderstood but something we could all do with a lot more of!
