The sermon “Are They The One?” by Vlad examines the biblical foundation for singleness and marriage, offering guidance on discerning a godly partner. It begins by acknowledging that singleness can be a calling, a result of circumstance, or a personal decision, all of which are affirmed in Scripture. Historically, the early church often elevated celibacy, but the Reformation restored marriage as a divine institution, emphasizing companionship, mutual support, and calling.

The message then outlines seven biblical principles for choosing a spouse:

1. Marry within the faith – Scripture emphasizes spiritual unity in marriage.
2. Seek God’s will in the right places – Pursue relationships in godly environments rather than compromising settings.
3. Pray with discernment – Avoid making decisions out of impatience or loneliness.
4. Observe character and values – Pay attention to how a person treats others, their influences, and their spiritual maturity.
5. Honor purity – Uphold biblical standards in relationships.
6. Involve family and community – Seek counsel from those who know you well.
7. Commit with wisdom – When God provides clarity, move forward in faith.

The sermon encourages believers to trust God’s timing and direction, emphasizing that marriage is a sacred covenant requiring prayerful discernment and alignment with biblical principles.
