Sex, Singleness, and Marriage | 1 Corinthians 7 by Christ Covenant

This week, we continue our series on 1 Corinthians. Join us as we learn that marriage is a great reminder that our bodies do not belong to us, and that singular devotion to the Lord is beautiful and honorable.

Jon Buck's Sermon on 1 Corinthians 7:17-24, from June 22, 2025.

Whether married or single, we often see singleness as a less-than proposition. Kylen Perry continues our Year of the Word series and reminds us that while being married or single comes with different challenges and benefits, we all long for the same things: relational connection, fulfillment, and purpose.

Rather than exploring specific questions, we process our own thoughts and questions from the three main points of the sermon: Marriage is a worldly pursuitMarriage is a divided devotion Marriage is a practical decision

Corinthians

While this passage may seem like a commercial against marriage, it is really a call to be fully devoted to Jesus whether we are single or married. How can we fight to make our pursuit of Jesus our priority, no matter our season of life?

Divorce and Remarriage | Ephesians 5:22-33 | 6-8-25

Today, we continue our series "For His Glory" by looking at singleness. Scripture teaches that we can glorify God in powerful ways in singleness that are different than those who are married. Join us!

Marriage is a God-given gift that serves as a reflection of Christ's unending and sacrificial love for us. However, sin has tainted this gift, creating certain situations that may lead to exceptions to marriage. In all of the highs and lows of human relationship, we can be reminded of one eternal truth: We belong to Christ, no matter where we are in life. 

The conversation around marriage and divorce is difficult to navigate. We begin to scratch the surface of this with some questions like:Why is divorce so prevalent today? What is the difference between separation and divorce? When could separation be an option? What are some of the exceptions for marriage? 

Big Idea: Every relationship grows stronger in better soil.1 Corinthians 7:25-40I. Beware- relationships are messy1 Corinthians 7:25-28Now about virgins: I have no command from the Lord, but I do give an opinion as one who by the Lord's mercy is faithful. Because of the present distress, I think that it is good for a man to remain as he is. Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be released. Are you released from a wife? Do not seek a wife. However, if you do get married, you have not sinned, and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But such people will have trouble in this life, and I am trying to spare you.II. Be careful how much time you invest in human relationships1 Corinthians 7:29-31This is what I mean, brothers and sisters: The time is limited, so from now on those who have wives should be as though they had none, those who weep as though they did not weep, those who rejoice as though they did not rejoice, those who buy as though they didn't own anything, and those who use the world as though they did not make full use of it. For this world in its current form is passing away.III. Be focused on your relationship to Christ1 Corinthians 7:32-35I want you to be without concerns. The unmarried man is concerned about the things of the Lord—how he may please the Lord. But the married man is concerned about the things of the world—how he may please his wife—and his interests are divided. The unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But the married woman is concerned about the things of the world—how she may please her husband. I am saying this for your own benefit, not to put a restraint on you, but to promote what is proper and so that you may be devoted to the Lord without distraction.IV. Be happily married1 Corinthians 7:36-40If any man thinks he is acting improperly toward the virgin he is engaged to, if she is getting beyond the usual age for marriage, and he feels he should marry—he can do what he wants. He is not sinning; they can get married. But he who stands firm in his heart (who is under no compulsion, but has control over his own will) and has decided in his heart to keep her as his fiancée, will do well. So, then, he who marries his fiancée does well, but he who does not marry will do better. A wife is bound as long as her husband is living. But if her husband dies, she is free to be married to anyone she wants—only in the Lord. But she is happier if she remains as she is, in my opinion. And I think that I also have the Spirit of God.Next Steps: Believe: I want to start my relationship with Jesus today.Become: I will put my relationship with Christ first this week. Be Sent: I will help someone start a relationship with Christ.Discussion Questions: What do you look for in a spouse or closest friendship?Do deep relationships come easily for you?  Explain your answer. Are your single friends happier than your married friends? Have you set some boundaries to protect your relationships from affecting your walk with Jesus? How quickly do you work through relationship problems? What patterns would make you walk away from a relationship?Surrender all your relationships to the Holy Spirit this week. 

Marriage is a God-given gift that serves as a reflection of Christ's unending and sacrificial love for us. However, sin has tainted this gift, creating certain situations that may lead to exceptions to marriage. In all of the highs and lows of human relationship, we can be reminded of one eternal truth: We belong to Christ, no matter where we are in life. 

We tackle the beginning of 1 Corinthians 7 with not one, but two married couples (and Betty)! No matter what stage of life you find yourself in, the truths of this passage hold a lot of relevance, and it is vital to have these conversations. Some questions we cover are: How can we view singleness as a gift? If you are single and don't want to be, how do you embrace this season?Why does the church tend to avoid conversations around intimacy and sex?   What is some of the baggage people can bring into marriage that can make physical intimacy challenging?

Big Idea: Growing your relationship with Jesus will also grow every other relationship.  - Part 21 Corinthians 7:10-241. Marriage is a covenant from God.1 Corinthians 7:10-13To the married I give this command-not I, but the Lord-a wife is not to leave her husband. But if she does leave, she must remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband-and a husband is not to divorce his wife. But I (not the Lord) say to the rest: If any brother has an unbelieving wife and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. Also, if any woman has an unbelieving husband and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce her husband.2. It reflects Christ and the Church. 1 Corinthians 7:14-16For the unbelieving husband is made holy by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy by the husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is they are holy. But if the unbeliever leaves, let him leave. A brother or a sister is not bound in such cases. God has called you to live in peace. Wife, for all you know, you might save your husband. Husband, for all you know, you might save your wife.3. Live for God where you are right now. 1 Corinthians 7:17-20Let each one live his life in the situation the Lord assigned when God called him. This is what I command in all the churches. Was anyone already circumcised when he was called? He should not undo his circumcision. Was anyone called while uncircumcised? He should not get circumcised. Circumcision does not matter and uncircumcision does not matter. Keeping God's commands is what matters. Let each of you remain in the situation in which he was called.4. Allow God into your situation1 Corinthians 7:21-24Were you called while a slave? Don't let it concern you. But if you can become free, by all means take the opportunity. For he who is called by the Lord as a slave is the Lord's freedman. Likewise he who is called as a free man is Christ's slave. You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of people. Brothers and sisters, each person is to remain with God in the situation in which he was called.Next Steps: Believe: I need God to restore my relationship this week.Become: I will seek God in my relationship today. Be Sent: I will set the example as a spouse, single, divorced, or widowed this week. Discussion Questions:1.    Do you feel God intends for everyone or most people to get married? Why or why not?2.    How would you deal with being in an unequally yoked marriage?3.    What are your thoughts on divorce?4.    In what ways can believers direct their current marital or single life for the glory of God?5.    Do you judge people who are single between 25-50, and wonder why they haven't gotten married and have kids?6.    How does Paul's teaching on marriage challenge or affirm your personal views?7.    How can the church better support both single and married individuals?8.    Pray for people in whatever status (married or single) they are in this week.

Scripture Reading from 1 Corinthians 7 :25-35 (0:00)Sermon by Charles Anderson (2:15)

Paul turns his attention to another topic brought to him by the church in Corinth - essentially, Is it good to abstain from sex?In answering that question, Paul focuses upon the gift and purpose of physical intimacy within a marriage. In doing so, he also touches upon singleness.

Big Idea: Growing your relationship with Jesus will also grow every other relationship. 1 Corinthians 7:1-9I. Sex can't take the place of Jesus 1 Corinthians 7:1-2Now in response to the matters you wrote about: “It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.” But because sexual immorality is so common, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman should have sexual relations with her own husband.II. A spouse can't replace Jesus1 Corinthians 7:3-5A husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise a wife to her husband. A wife does not have the right over her own body, but her husband does. In the same way, a husband does not have the right over his own body, but his wife does. Do not deprive one another—except when you agree for a time, to devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again; otherwise, Satan may tempt you because of your lack of self-control.III. Singleness is a gift from Jesus1 Corinthians 7:6-7I say this as a concession, not as a command. I wish that all people were as I am. But each has his own gift from God, one person has this gift, another has that.IV. Self-control is only possible through Jesus 1 Corinthians 7:8-9I say to the unmarried and to widows: It is good for them if they remain as I am. But if they do not have self-control, they should marry, since it is better to marry than to burn with desire.Next Steps: Believe: I surrender my life to Jesus today.Become: I surrender my relationships to Jesus today.Be Sent: I will help someone develop a relationship with Jesus this week. Discussion Questions: What is your most important relationship right now?  Why? Do your most important relationships always come easily? Has Jesus ever radically changed one of your relationships? If so, explain.Do you view single people as missing something in their lives? If singleness is a gift from God, can marriage also be a gift from God?Where do you need relationship self-control today?Surrender control of all your relationships to the Holy Spirit this week

Jon Buck's Sermon on 1 Corinthians 7:6-9, from May 18, 2025.

Paul continues to write to the church in Corinth concerning sexual ethics, and in today's reading, he writes specifically about situations concerning marriage. In general, men and women are to give themselves to each other, for in marriage one's body is not one's own. If someone is married to an unbeliever, Paul commends that such a person should stay married because he or she may be able to save their spouse through their faithful, daily witness. Paul goes on to tell individuals in the church to be content to live life in whatever situation the Lord assigned when God called them. Finally, Paul spend an extended amount of time discussing matters of singleness and divorce. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org
