In this sermon, the speaker begins by discussing the importance of understanding that the Bible is not about the individual but about Jesus Christ and God’s redemption of mankind. They emphasize the need to apply scripture appropriately and not add ourselves to it. The sermon then explores various groups of people mentioned in 1 Corinthians 7:17-40, starting with the concept of contentment and not desiring more from God. The passage is clarified to emphasize that external rituals like circumcision hold no ultimate significance, but obedience to God’s commandments is essential. The sermon also touches on the importance of abiding in one’s calling, the role of servants and slaves, and the choice between being married or remaining single. The speaker challenges common interpretations, such as the misunderstanding of the phrase “husband of one wife” as referring to divorce and remarriage. They conclude by stating that remarrying is not a sin according to God’s Word and encouraging the audience to prioritize serving the Lord in whatever role they find themselves in.
