In this thoughtful and theologically rich teaching on 1 Corinthians 7, Pastor Lucas Miles breaks down the Apostle Paul’s guidance on marriage, sexual intimacy, singleness, and celibacy. Far from being outdated or irrelevant, Paul’s words—when properly understood in their context—speak powerfully to the confusion surrounding modern relationships.

Pastor Lucas unpacks common misunderstandings around this chapter, offering clarity on God’s design for intimacy, the unique blessings of both marriage and singleness, and how believers should approach relational challenges in light of eternity. Whether you’re single, married, widowed, or somewhere in between, this episode provides a Christ-centered lens for navigating your season with purpose and peace.
