A Celebration of Singleness  | Building Thriving Families | Week 3

July 16, 2023 | Derek | 1 Corinthians 7  

 

Family = a multi-generational team on mission.  

Big Idea: Singleness is a gift from God – use it well.  


3 Spiritual Pitfalls of Singleness 

 

  1. Sexual Temptation.   
  2. Loneliness.  
  3. Selfishness. 


Why would God give you a desire that he doesn’t meet immediately?  

  • To learn self-control.  
  • To learn the sufficiency of God’s grace.  


2 Spiritual Benefits of Singleness 


  1. Freedom from the obligation of family. (7:26-28; 32-34)  
  2. Freedom to serve God with undivided devotion. (7:32-35).  

 

A quick word to the church  

 

  • Beware of Family-olatry
  • Receive more singles into your family
