This Sunday: The Privilege and Passion of Singles
Welcome to this week’s edition of Preparing for Sunday! Last week we heard Pastor Travis teaching through 1 Corinthians 7:10-24. Pastor Travis reminded us that God is more interested in changing our hearts than just our seemingly unchangeable circumstances, specifically in marriage.

This week Pastor Sean will be preaching through 1 Corinthians 7:25-40. Through our study in God’s Word, we will hear that “singleness and marriage are both gifts from God. The problem we face is that we so lust after the next thing or the next person to satisfy us- longing for someone else’s life or someone else’s toys- that we lose sight of the purpose of our life. We are designed for God- designed to find our identity, provision, and rest in him. In 1 Corinthians 7:25-40 Paul counsels that to live as a single person, you can live for Jesus with more single-minded devotion. So although marriage isn’t sinful and is even a gift, he wants to be clear that it will divide your mind and time from your allegiance to Christ. In light of your design he encourages you to remain as you are and go hard after Christ.” -Pastor Sean
