16. Singles 1 Corinthians 7:32 – Singles’ advantage in serving the Lord: not having to be concerned about a spouse Hospitality commands apply to singles as much as they do for couples - a required trait for leaders

17. Singles Singles can take on ministry that is more risky since there are less family responsibilities Living with other people demands greater servant leader responsibilities in the home

21. Husbands & Wives Love must act first - Romans 5:8 Love ( agaph / agape) is sacrificial, selfless - seeking the best interest of the other Love seeks purity and so protects itself and those loved from the moral filth of our society

22. Husbands & Wives All Christians are to be humble and seek the best interest of other believers - Philippians 2:3-4 Eph. 5:28-30: The husband is to cherish his wife as he does his own body Eph. 5:31-32: God established marriage so it is sacred and it is to reflect Christ and the church

27. Parents Do not fall into the trap of materialism and if you are in it get out now for the sake of your children Men: Man Up! And lead them by sacrificing your selfish desires for their best interests Women: Build up your home by being a godly helpmeet and mother who blesses her family (Prov. 14:1)

28. Extended Family 1 Timothy 5:8 We have responsibilities to care for our extended family Caution 1: The obligation is to meet actual needs, not their desires Caution 2: Be compassionate, but do not block God’s reproofs for their sin

29. Conclusion Jesus’ example of servant leadership is to be followed by every Christian Leadership, humility and sacrificial service for the interest of others begins in the home
