Aligned Hearts | Luke Edgerton | 11/9/2025

This sermon explores Paul's teaching in 1 Corinthians 7 regarding marriage, singleness, and celibacy, emphasizing that both legalism and licentiousness represent worldliness that compromises Christian faith. The core message challenges believers to align themselves with God's value system rather than cultural norms, particularly in the context of marriage and family life. The message emphasized that marriage is designed not primarily for happiness but for holiness, exposing pride and unforgiveness while forcing spiritual maturity. Single and celibate believers are affirmed as equally valuable in God's kingdom. The sermon emphasizes that worldly troubles in marriage—financial strain, intimacy issues, child-raising disagreements, and spiritual attacks—can only be resolved by aligning with Scripture rather than worldly values. Ultimately, God's grace empowers believers to fulfill whatever He commands, whether in marriage or singleness.
