Ed Rea
Packinghouse’s Sunday morning worship service from June 21, 2026.
In 1 Corinthians 7, Pastor Ed explains that Paul addresses questions about marriage, singleness, celibacy, divorce, and relationships with unbelieving spouses. Paul teaches that both marriage and singleness are gifts from God, and neither is spiritually superior to the other. For married couples, he emphasizes mutual love, affection, commitment, and selflessness, while encouraging reconciliation whenever possible. For those married to unbelievers, Paul encourages believers to remain faithful and trust that God can work through their witness. Pastor Ed closes by highlighting God's grace toward broken and imperfect people, reminding us through examples like the Samaritan woman that Jesus seeks out sinners, forgives completely, and offers new life to anyone who comes to Him in faith.
