SINGLED OUT<br />

We live in a culture focused on couples.<br />

Chances are, if you’ve been a single<br />

adult you’ve faced your share of<br />

well-meaning questions (“Would you<br />

like to meet my nephew? He’s just wonderful”),<br />

advice (“You’ve just got to put<br />

yourself out there!”), and “encouragement”<br />

(“Are you being too picky?”). It’s<br />

assumed that you’re in a relationship,<br />

and if you’re not, that you desperately<br />

want to be and<br />

just can’t be happy<br />

without a significant<br />

other.<br />

However, one is<br />

a whole number.<br />

Paul was single,<br />

Jesus was single, and it’s okay if you<br />

are, too. In fact, whether you’ve never<br />

married, you’re divorced, or you’re<br />

widowed, God can use this life stage<br />

to do great things in you and through<br />

you. This week we’ll learn more about<br />

how to live life to the full as a single<br />

adult, and how the rest of us can be an<br />

encouragement to the singles in our<br />

church.<br />

ONE IS A WHOLE NUMBER.<br />
