Sermon Questions

- Are you surprised that the percentage of single people at First Free is so much lower than the percentage of single people in the US? Why or why not?

- Pastor Josh said we often view singleness as something to be endured, not something to be encouraged. Do you find yourself thinking singleness is “second-best” to marriage? How is that view promoted in the church?

- Does this sermon challenge or change your view of the dignity of Christian singleness? How is singleness “redeemed” by the coming of Christ?

- Singles, how can you glorify God with all the opportunities that come with your singleness? Married couples, how can you encourage the single people you know to help them do this?

- Do you think your small group is, or would feel like, a welcoming place to a single person?

- How should you think about, or how would you counsel a single person to think about, singleness in light of what Paul shares in 1 Corinthians 7?
