1 Corinthians 7:1-16
Married or Single: Follow Jesus

 

Whether married, single, divorced, or widowed, every follower of Jesus is called to live out their sexuality in a way that reflects His character. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 7, Paul addresses specific concerns in the Corinthian church and builds a vision for sexual integrity rooted in how Jesus interpreted Scripture, taught about marriage, and treated people. Sexual intimacy within marriage is a gift, not something to be ashamed of, but it comes with real boundaries designed to protect and deepen that relationship. Singleness is not a lesser state. Paul describes it as a spiritual gift, and Jesus Himself never married, yet lived the fullest life ever lived. Whatever your relationship status, you are not stuck. You are called, and the Holy Spirit is available to you right now.
