Jesus Wants The Battered Rose

So glad that someone created a clip of this. It is my favorite Matt Chandler moment. From his message “A shepherd and his unregenerate sheep” at the 2009 Desiring God Conference for Pastors.

“The minister got up and said we would talk about sex. He took a red rose, smelled it, and threw it out in the crowd and told them to smell the rose. He then began one of the worst, most horrific handlings of what sex is and isn’t that I ever sat through.”
