Message May 25 - The Corinthian Complex – Singleness (1 Corinthians 7)

Is singleness a curse to escape… or a gift to embrace? In this powerful teaching, we unpack 1 Corinthians 7 and discover that your relationship status is not your identity—it’s a pathway to deeper devotion and intimacy with God.

Pastor Chris shares how Paul’s words challenge cultural idols of romance, marriage, and the nuclear family, and instead hold up singleness as a beautiful, God-given calling for kingdom purpose. Whether you’re single, married, divorced, or widowed—this message speaks directly to your identity, calling, and spiritual mission.

We explore why singleness is:

• A gift, not a deficiency

• A calling, not a curse

• An opportunity, not a waiting room

• A vehicle for kingdom purpose, not isolation

You’ll be encouraged, challenged, and reminded that the most fulfilled, spiritually formed person in history—Jesus—was a single, celibate man.

🫶 “I pray you find what you’re looking for—but even more, I pray you find intimacy with the One who knows and loves you perfectly.”
