The call: Let God change how you think of marriage and sex and singleness

Study/Discussion Questions

1. How has the view of marriage and sex changed from Paul’s day and today? How is the same?
2. In what ways should the Christians’ view of marriage and sex be different?
3. What are some of the negative connotations applied to single life?
4. Our culture elevates the pursuit of romance and happiness and links it to self-worth. Where does our true happiness and self-worth come from?
5. How does right thinking on happiness and self-worth affect how…
A)  We relate to those who are single?
B)  Single people think of themselves?
6. How can the church support and value those who are single? (Going contrary to our culture)
7. In what ways could playing matchmaker make things harder for someone who is single?
8. What are some things we should consider when we decide if God has Called us to be married of single?
