One Reason Singles Need This Series
If you are currently single you might think that some of the sermons in our upcoming Sex, Singleness, & Marriage series are not for you. We agree with Tim Keller that, actually, a biblical understanding of marriage is exactly what you need now, and not just because most of you will someday get married:
"The answer is that single people cannot live their lives well as singles without a balanced, informed view of marriage. If they do not have that, they will either over-desire or under-desire marriage, and either of those ways of thinking will distort their lives."
