Matthew 5:31-32 – Jesus Teaches On Divorce
Divorce is one of those things that are not pleasant to talk about. But in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus teaches on the very topic. When he gave the words in Matthew 5:31-32 it was to a group of people who thought you could divorce for any reason. Jesus challenges that idea and instead establishes the importance, oneness, and permanence of marriage. In this sermon, Pastor Kyle discusses this idea and also goes over some of the biblical grounds…

As Christians, we should hate murder and strive for…
Matthew 5:17-20 – What Did Jesus Believe About The Bible?
