Marriage & Singleness in the Body of Christ

The Body of Christ is made up every tribe, language, and ethnicity. The Body of Christ is made up of those with little or much money. The Body of Christ consists of another mixed human reality: those who are married and those who are single. The 2021 Canadian census revealed that 44.3% of the population is married, 12.6% were in a common-law relationship, and 43.1% were single. Single adults are close to outnumbering married people in Canada. This week we’re going to search scripture for how Jesus’s vision for the church he is building is to be the household of God where marriage and singleness are both honoured, celebrated, seen realistically, and intended to point in one great and glorious direction.
