Matthew 19 Singleness

“It Sucks!!!!!!”

“When I see my friends get married, engaged or enter a relationship. I ask God, Am I doing something wrong? I follow after you and I'm a good person! What about me, God? Have you forgotten me?"

“Disappointing”

“My season of singleness has been amazing...finally. Before I used to be bitter because of my singleness… until I allowed God to use this season to glorify him and lead me into ministry. I have freedom to do whatever I want for him.”

What does it mean to be single in the kingdom of God?

Eunuch

“If a woman is not married by the age of twenty, she is cursed by God.” - Rabbinic saying

“Any woman who doesn’t bear children is desecrating the image of God.” - Rabbinic saying

Resist the myth of romantic completeness

“You…Complete…Me”

"If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world." – C.S. Lewis

We create space for friendship and closeness

1 After this, Jesus traveled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with him, 2 and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out; 3 Joanna the wife of Chuza, the manager of Herod’s household; Susanna; and many others. These women were helping to support them out of their own means. Luke 8:1-3

Destination disease

“I will not wait until I get married for my life to start.”

“Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.” Matthew 6:34 (Message)
