Today I want to discuss the single family. This would include the single people, maybe divorced people that have chosen to remain single, maybe those who have lost a spouse or those with children who have now spouse at this time. As we continue to think about TV programs that have these type of families we can list many. One day at a time, Andy Griffin, Family Affair, Courtship of Eddies Father’s, My Two Dad’s, and many others. I want us to look into scripture today to see what the Bible has to say about this life and what promises you can hold to today.
- You who are not in this circumstance ( Quick being Pushy)
- Don’t be always trying to hook them up?

i. Jeremiah 29:11 – For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
- For the singles, share your heart.

I know you have always been concerned for me, but you didn’t have the chance to help me. 11 Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. 12 I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. 13 For I can do everything through Christ,[c] who gives me strength. - God is all you Need
a. Philippians 4:19 And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. - Surround yourselves with good people, not evil people. Those not to be with:
Proverbs 6:17-19
Here are six things God hates,
and one more that he loathes with a passion:
eyes that are arrogant,
a tongue that lies,
hands that murder the innocent,
a heart that hatches evil plots,
feet that race down a wicked track,
a mouth that lies under oath,
a troublemaker in the family.
