This course explores the biblical and theological understanding of singleness in the Christian life. Students will examine their calling and roles according to Scripture, as well as the challenges singles face in the 21st century, including personal struggles, social dynamics, and spiritual growth. Through biblical perspectives, theological reflections, and contemporary issues, students will gain insights into how singleness can be a fulfilling part of the Christian journey. Ultimately, students will leave with practical tools to navigate singleness and be equipped to serve effectively among singles.

First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Saviour. For kingship belongs to the Lord, and he rules over the nations. (1 Timothy 2:1-3; Psalm 22:28, ESV)
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his inheritance. Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honour the emperor. God opposes the proud but shows favour to the humble.” (Psalm 33:12; 1 Peter 2:17; James 4:6b, NIV).
“And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” (Matthew 24:14, ESV)
Happy 55th National Day, Singapore!
