    Loveology – Single and Ready to Mingle

    Single and Ready to Mingle 3 Biblical Truths about Singleness and Dating: 1. Singleness isn’t a sickness.  1 Corinthians 7:7  //  I wish that all of you were as I am. But each of you has your own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that. 1 Corinthians 7:32  //  I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord’s affairs—how he can please the Lord. 33 But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world—how he can please his wife— 34 and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord’s affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world—how she can please her husband. 35 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. Singleness provides an opportunity for undivided devotion to the Lord. Famous Christians who were single: Amy Carmichael [1867 – 1951] Corrie ten Boom [1892 – 1983] C.S. Lewis [1898 – 1963] Dietrich Bonhoeffer [1906 – 1945] John Stott [1921 – 2011] Lottie Moon [1840 – 1912] While single, pray and pursue total devotion to the Lord. 2. Before you find the one, become the one. Genesis 2:15,18  //  The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. 18 The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” Before marriage Adam had: Communion with God Calling in his life Discipline of Character Marriage doesn’t change you; it magnifies who you already are. 3. The way you date either prepares you for marriage or practices for divorce.
 1 Corinthians 7:9  //  But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion. Don’t date someone based on their potential. Date them based on their patterns. While dating, pray and pursue the following: Future Spouse Boundaries Spiritual growth together Romans 12:12  //  “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, and faithful in prayer.”

    Loveology – Generous Love

    If our love for each other is meant to be a reflection of God’s love for us, the foundation should be generosity. John 3:16 (NLT)  //  For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. Mark 10:45  //  For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving. Proverbs 11:24-25  //  One person gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed. The higher they ranked in generosity towards each other, the happier they were. 5:1 The virtue of giving good things to your spouse freely and abundantly. You Before Me Generously not Transactionally Happy couples have a choice. 1 Corinthians 13:1-7  //  If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Find the most generous explanation for each other’s behavior and believe it. 1 Corinthians 13:6-7  //  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Option B: Delight in uncovering mistakes Thrive on speculation Assume the worst Embrace doubt Just try it for a week.

    Loveology – Covenant Love

    1 Corinthians 13:11  //  When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. What does love require of ME? CONTRACT: We PROTECT our rights and LIMIT our responsibilities. COVENANT: We GIVE UP our rights and PICK UP our responsibilities. Genesis 2:21-25  //  So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the place with flesh. Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.” For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh. The man and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame. RIGHTS WE GIVE UP 1. PRIORITY. 2. OWNERSHIP. 1 Corinthians 7:4  //  The wife’s body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the husband’s body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife. 3. PRIVACY. Ephesians 5:22-33  //  Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church— 30 for we are members of his body. 31 “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” 32 This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband. RESPONSIBILITIES WE PICK UP 1. LOVE unconditionally. 2. HONOR respectfully. 3. SUBMIT mutually. Ephesians 5:21  //  Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.

    Closer – Closer through Giving

    What would happen if I gave God one year? Money tells the story of our hearts. Money Talks Matthew 6:21  //  For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. If you’d like to change where your heart is, change where your money goes. Matthew 6:24  //  “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.” How can you know if your love for money competes with your love for God? You think your money belongs to you. Psalm 24:1  //  The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it. Giving is what you do with your leftovers. Stingy Stealing You think this sermon is stupid. Deuteronomy 14:23 TLB  //  The purpose of tithing is to teach you always to put God first in your lives. Me first living with a little giving Luke 12:16-21  //  And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. 17 He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’ 18 “Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. 19 And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”’ 20 “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’ 21 “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.” Consumption Assumption: The assumption that everything that comes my way is for my consumption. 5 Things You Can Do With Money: 1. Spend It 2. Repay Debt 3. Pay Taxes 4. Save It 5. Give It 5 Things You Can Do With Money: 1. Spend It - ME 2. Repay Debt - ME 3. Pay Taxes - ME 4. Save It - ME 5.

    Closer – Closer through Community

    Acts 2:42-47  //  They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. 44 All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45 They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. 46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. Authentic, Honest, Life-Changing Relationships. Backbone Ecclesiastes 4:8-12  //  There was a man all alone; he had neither son nor brother. There was no end to his toil, yet his eyes were not content with his wealth. “For whom am I toiling,” he asked, “and why am I depriving myself of enjoyment?”. . . Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. Soul Sick Types of Groups: Season of Life Support Financial Activity Prayer & Bible Studies Message Application Real life change happens in the context of relationships. Romans 12:5  //  Since we are all one body in Christ, we belong to each other, and each of us needs all the others. ARENA: I know and you know. Matthew 23:5, 7  //  “Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long.” “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean.”> MASK: I know but you don’t know. I’ll always stay as sick as my secrets. 2 Corinthians 4:2  //  We refuse to wear masks and play games. We don’t maneuver and manipulate behind the scenes. And we don’t twist God’s Word to suit ourselves. Rather, we keep everything we do and say out in the open, the whole truth on display, so that those who want to can see and judge for themselves in the presence of God. “Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, ‘What! You too? I thought I was the only one.’” - C.S. Lewis John 3:16-21  //  For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God. James 5:16  //  Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. BLIND SPOTS: I don’t know but you know. Proverbs 27:6  //  Faithful are the wounds of a friend, But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. Hebrews 3:12-13  //  See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. POTENTIAL: I don’t know and you don’t know. Proverbs 27:17  //  As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. Everybody needs to be needed and known. Social Prescribing Join a Group Lead a Group www.access.tv/groups

Proverbs 18:10  //  The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe. The Ark of the Covenant: Intercede for others. 1 Timothy 2:1-2  //  I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. Prayer should be our first response, not our last resort.

    Wonders of His Love – Prepare Him Room

    A: I’m moving! B: I’m going to a hotel! C: I’m burning this house down! D: Save the children! E: All of the above. Proverbs 4:23  //  Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Ephesians 4:26-27 (ESV)  //  Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil. Carry your anger as short a time as possible. Free flowing anger is detrimental for all relationships. Debt and Debtor Relationship Greed - I owe me Jealousy - God owes me Guilt - I owe you Anger - YOU OWE ME Ephesians 4:31-32 (NIV)  //  Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Getting rid of anger is more important than getting paid back. Identify who you are angry with. Decide what was taken from you. Cancel the debt. Forgiveness breaks the power of anger.
