Chris Honess, Lead Pastor

Singleness is a calling …

For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others—and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”

Matthew 19:12

… Or a First-Class status.

I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but that you may live in a right way in undivided devotion to the Lord.

1 Corinthians 7:35

So then, he who marries the virgin does right, but he who does not marry her does better.

1 Corinthians 7:38

Owning First-Class Singleness:

A. Relocate your security.

At this they wept aloud again. Then Orpah kissed her mother-in-law goodbye, but Ruth clung to her.

Ruth 1:14

B. Receive healing and get out of debt.

“Don’t call me Naomi,” she told them. “Call me Mara, because the Almighty has made my life very bitter.

Ruth 1:20

C. Live for a purpose.

Boaz replied, “I’ve been told all about what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband—how you left your father and mother and your homeland and came to live with a people you did not know before.

Ruth 2:11

To the Non-Singles: Recognize, honor and befriend single people.
