In this session from the "Singles Weekender," Pastor Peter Mordh shares a compelling message on how to passionately and purposefully follow Jesus in your season of singleness. Using the life of Moses from Exodus 2, he provides practical principles for discerning God's will in your relationships. He argues that finding purpose in life isn't something we find, but something we step into by following God's plan. Through a memorable, personal story about dating his wife—and a miraculous fly in her drink—he reveals that God's sovereignty is greater than our stupidity. This sermon will teach you how to trust God to guide you, stay true to your convictions, and avoid "spiritualizing" your own preferences in your search for a godly spouse.
