The word "single" certainly seems to be parallel with the word "alone."

Whether you're single as a young person, whether you've never married as an older person but still want to be, whether you've lost a spouse to death, separation, or divorce, or whether you look at your singleness as a lifetime calling––being single can certainly leave a hole in your life that you constantly want filled.

How can a single person view their aloneness, their feeling of lack, their place in the church and God's Kingdom, their desire for wholeness and completion that seems to come only from marriage and romantic relationships? Is there anything they can do to remedy these problems for however long they're single?

This message attempts to answer these questions, both for the single person, but also for the church who is called to love, value, and support single people in their desire for purpose and relationship.
