Singleness (Part 4) - Ryan Fullerton

About this sermon

How do I think about singleness? It's a very fair question because many people are single. And God sometimes has people in singleness for extended period of times or repeated times through divorce or widowhood. And so it is a very fair question. How do I think biblically about being a single person? Read & MP3: http://illbehonest.com/Singleness-Part-4-Ryan-Fullerton Biblical Manhood and Womanhood: "Singleness" 1 Corinthians 7:1-9 1. Some have a gift for singleness. ("gift of self-control") 2. Some don't have the gift of self-control, but they're still single. ("gift of suffering") 3. Principles for moving from singleness to marriage: a. Before you are concerned about who you should marry, you should be concerned about who you are. b. Know what you are looking for. c. Know what you are getting into. d. Seek a spouse in a community of brothers and sisters. e. Seek a spouse in the context of authority with the guidance of wise people. f. Seek a spouse with an eye to compatibility (e.g. only Christians, theological agreement, mutual attraction) g. Seeking must happen in the context of purity. Ryan Fullerton | https://immanuelky.org
