Sermon Description

In this week's message, Pastor Austin reframed singleness by walking us through 1 Corinthians 7 and emphasizing the idea of moving it from a cultural burden to a biblical gift that allows for undivided devotion to God. Throughout the message you'll be challenged the church to shift your perspective, to recognize and support the unique opportunities that come with being single. Emphasizing contentment in Christ (Philippians 4:11-13), he highlighted that true fulfillment comes from a dedicated relationship with God, whether single or married, and that a life marked by devotion and service is a life truly set apart.

Series Overview

Corinth was a place marked by diversity, wealth, moral compromise, and intense cultural pressure—and into this context, Paul calls the believers to live differently.

"Set Apart" is a call to holiness and distinctiveness, both for the Corinthians and for us today. This sermon series on 1 Corinthians explores what it means to be a community and individuals who are set apart by God, not defined by the culture around us, but by the gospel we’ve received from Jesus Christ.
