This series helps students see that relationships aren’t random. They’re one of God’s greatest tools for shaping our character and growing our faith. This series will challenge students to pursue singleness, friendship, dating, and romance in ways that honor God and point others to Him.

  • "SINGLE, DATING, FRIENDSHIP, AND ROMANCE" IS PART OF YM360’S SERMON SERIES LINE OF RESOURCES AND IS IDEAL FOR:

    • Any large group setting
    • Mid-week youth service
    • "Master teacher” format 

    "SINGLE, DATING, FRIENDSHIP, AND ROMANCE" COVERS THE FOLLOWING PURPOSES AND PASSAGES:

    • Session 1: Single (1 Corinthians 7:32-35) | Singleness can feel complicated for students, be it in feeling overlooked or viewing singleness as a curse. Some might be asking the silent question: “What’s wrong with me?” This session will challenge that mindset and show students that singleness isn’t a problem to fix — it’s a purpose to embrace.  

    • Session 2: Friendship (Proverbs 13:20; Proverbs 27:17) | Friendships play a huge role in a student’s life. When friendships are going great, life feels great. When friendships get messy, everything can feel heavy. God’s word offers timeless wisdom to help us build and keep healthy friendships that honor Him and strengthen us.

    • Session 3: Dating (Genesis 1:26-27; 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5) | Here’s the truth—it feels good to be liked and wanted! The struggle comes when students sacrifice conviction and wisdom to feel liked and wanted. In this session, students will learn that healthy dating starts with being whole in Christ first.

    • Session 4: Romance (Proverbs 5:1-18) | In a world that treats romance like an impulse or reality game show, students are often left confused about what romance really means. This session invites students to see romance through a different lens - not as something driven by feelings or fueled by pressure, but as a way to reflect God’s heart toward someone. Students will see that godly romance involves sacred freedoms that are worth cherishing as we cherish others through them.
