Matthew: The King and His Kingdom
Nov 17, 2024 | Matt McAlvey
The Two Shall Become One
The sermon addresses Jesus's teachings on marriage, divorce, remarriage, and singleness. Jesus defines marriage as a lifelong, exclusive union between one man and one woman, rooted in creation. While divorce is allowed in cases of marital unfaithfulness, it should not be sought lightly. Remarriage is permissible under specific circumstances, like infidelity or abandonment by an unbelieving spouse. For those who are single, either by choice or circumstance, Jesus upholds singleness and celibacy as honorable paths. The sermon calls believers to honor God in their relational choices, whether married or single, and assures them of Christ's faithfulness and forgiveness, offering hope for restoration and new beginnings.
