Singleness.
Dating.
Marriage.
Parenting.
Churches should teach on all of these topics.
But, these topics will not speak to everyone in the same way. For some, they will not be in that life-stage.
The worst case scenario is that those outside of the advertised demographic will skip church on a week that doesn’t directly apply to them.
But, this exodus can be avoided by a simple expectation...
You will be told how this applies to you, no matter what life-stage you are in.
You will be told, upfront, that you can and will learn things from the sermon that you can pass onto others.
You will expect that the gospel principles shared will still apply to your circumstances.
In short, you will be told that listening to a sermon outside of your direct experience will still matter for you.
