Tell Me More About... Singleness | Tell Me More About... | Aaron Pennington - Lead Pastor

Pastor Aaron Pennington kicks off our new series, Tell Me More About…, with a message on singleness, dating, marriage, and what it means to be complete in Christ. In 1 Corinthians 7, the Apostle Paul refers to singleness as a gift. For many, that may not be the first word that comes to mind. But in this message, Pastor Aaron challenges us to rethink singleness, not as a waiting room for marriage, but as a season where God can shape identity, security, purpose, and devotion. Whether you’re single, dating, engaged, married, or walking with someone who is, this message offers biblical wisdom for relationships, boundaries, identity, and doing things God’s way. Pastor Aaron reminds us that marriage is good, but it is not God. Only Christ can complete us, and when we understand who we are and whose we are, every relationship in our life is healthier because of it.
