Bible Answer: Hi, SAZ! I know what you're dealing with. Last year I had to teach about being single and saved, and I didn't know what to say. So, first, I asked God to give me what He wanted me to tell His people (He, only, knows what they need to hear). Then I fasted, and as I fasted, I wrote down what I had learned from God being single and saved. Then, I received my message (the same day I was going to speak) and many received it. I think what is most important is that you rely on God to give you want He wants you to preach. Use your own experiences as a young single Christian and don't worry about what you think they might want to hear. For Scripture, I would use 2 Corinthians 5:17, Romans 6:4, and Luke 1:37. I would back those up with the story of Rahab, the harlot who was saved, and her family (Joshua 2; 6:17,23-25; Hebrews 11:31) and the conversion of Saul (*to Paul, Acts 9). These are just what I would use, God may give you something totally different. I'm praying with you, WalkingTalkingBible |
