Sermons About Single
One Picture is Worth 1,000 Words
Whether "never-married", divorced, widowed or otherwise "single-again", over 40% of the North America adult population is single. When the church teaches and emphasizes the critical role of the "family", we often forget to talk to this huge population who are not currently married. While the Bible upholds the sanctity of marriage and promotes a healthy family life as the key unit of society, it also has much encouragement to individuals who are not married. The unique contribution that a single person can give for the glory of God makes it a life worth celebrating and exploiting. Rather than seeing singleness as "2nd best", can we celebrate the gifts and opportunities God gives to those who are doing life "solo?" Key Passage: 1 Corinthians 7:32

Gospel-Centered Singleness
Gospel-Centered Singleness Singles are often times categorized in the church -- "not yet married." This makes them seem "incomplete" or "second class" at times. In the first message of the Gospel-Centered Home series, we take an in-depth look at gospel-centered singleness. The gospel calls singles to embrace their current state of singleness as a gift from God in order to maximize their effectiveness for the gospel. What does this mean biblically? Practically? What are the obstacles? What are the solutions?

This new series "Picture Perfect?" will focus on family matters - with topics that affect us all.

And when it’s bad ... well, you know! The most important relationship we’ll ever have is with Christ at the centre of our lives. Personal wholeness is the key to all relationships. We need to ï¬nd healing in Christ in order for us to have healthy relationships with others.

A Time to Run
There's something in all of us that wants to walk closer to the line as possible. By setting morale margins, we protect ourselves from experiencing the consequences of sin. Because sexual sin has the greatest consequences, we should always ask ourselves, "Am I fleeing from or flirting with the line?"

Spirituality and Singleness
single… …the word carries many different connotations. For some it means freedom, while for others it is the source of great pain. Whatever the word may mean to us, St. Paul encourages us to look at this word from a different perspective. For many of us the question is not whether we should be single, but “are we so attached to our idea of how things should be that we lose perspective of what God may want for us?†So, if we want to be married, what if God wants us single? If we want to be single, what if God wants us married? In this spiritual talk Lee talks with a group of singles and begins to unpack some of these ideas God has on what it means to be…single.

One: The Loneliest Number
Love is defined a million ways. It is unique to go back to the beginning of anything. It is there we can rediscover the essence of the intended purpose. What does it look like to get God's definition of love? How does He define it? What would it mean to embrace God's intent for love? We will examine purity as the byproduct of loving God's way. We will see that God desire for us is bigger than abstinence. It's purity. Are we going to be willing to accept purity in our relationships?
