What does Jesus teach about marriage and divorce? In the first message of this series, we examine Mark 10 and discover how Jesus moves the conversation from finding a way out of marriage to understanding God’s purpose for it.

Marriage is a sacred covenant established by God. As Jesus answers the Pharisees, He points us back to the authority of Scripture, exposes the danger of hardened hearts, and reminds us of God’s design from the beginning.

In this message, we explore:

• Marriage as a covenant before God.

• Why Moses permitted divorce and what Jesus says about hardness of heart.

• How pride, selfishness, and unforgiveness damage relationships.

• The importance of repentance, faithfulness, and genuine change.

• Approaching broken marriages with biblical truth and compassion.

Whether you are married, have experienced divorce, or want to better understand Scripture, this message invites you to examine your heart and trust God’s good design. We also recognize the seriousness of abuse and the need for safety for those facing harm.

God’s truth calls us to repentance, and His grace offers hope for the wounded.
