Jesus' Teaching on Divorce & Remarriage
In this series, we consider Christ’s teaching from the Sermon on the Mount, and we come face-to-face with one of the most difficult and widely debated subjects in all of Scripture: divorce and remarriage. When we consider this issue as Christians, how are we supposed to think about it? How should we respond? We have to start by asking the most fundamental question of all: What does God’s Word actually teach? Here in Matthew 5, Jesus confronts a deeply distorted view of divorce and brings us back to the absolute beauty of marriage. Join Tom Pennington as we consider together Jesus' Teaching on Divorce & Remarriage.
Jesus' Teaching on Divorce & Remarriage - Part 2
As we build on what we learned last time, we need to take a step back into Deuteronomy chapter 24 to understand what the Old Testament actually says about this subject. Far from presenting divorce as God’s ideal or giving people a broad permission slip to end their vows, Deuteronomy 24 was written to address a specific circumstance and to set strict limits.
