The Single-Parent Family - Acts 16; 2 Timothy 1 - Skip Heitzig

Some of the most struggling and lonely people in our congregation may be those who are single parents. They may be moms, dads, divorced, or never married.

This teaching is from our series Smart Home with Skip Heitzig from Calvary Church.

Love this! I wish every church has a single parent ministry. I’m a single mom of 4 beautiful girls
and it’s a challenge every day. Sometimes an extra help in the house of things I can’t do goes a long way..Thank God for family they are my biggest support..

We need more support for Single-parent homes. Often stereotyped. I wasn't a begger. I was a hard-working Registered Nurse . My ex husband's Mother, my married friends, and Leroy, a Seventh Day Adventist, married pastor and coworker were my "rocks!" We were so opposite. They were my immediate "Kansas network." My Grandmother and Sister were miles away in Georgia!, but would come a running if needed; parents deceased. My son's learned that we had to cooperate early on. We are very close now for all we've gone through. My church of five years, did not know how to relate to me. I try to be "that support" for others now. If I couldn't lean on Jesus, I would have crumbled.

Someday, in heaven, we will all be of one family living as brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus... oh, are we not supposed to live that way now? Whether single-parent or dual-parent families, we as a church body/family should be supporting all another regardless of how this un-Christian society/culture in America pits the single mother into an abyss devoid of support.
