Marriage in the Kingdom

Metrocrest Presbyterian Church

In this passage, Jesus addresses fundamental questions about marriage, divorce, and God's original design for the marriage covenant. When confronted by the Pharisees about divorce, Jesus points back to God's creation plan, emphasizing the permanent and sacred nature of the marriage bond. The sermon explores Christ's authoritative teaching on marriage as a divine institution, its implications for believers in God's kingdom, and how this understanding shapes our view of marriage in an increasingly secular world. We'll also examine how this teaching connects to Jesus' subsequent blessing of the children, highlighting the importance of family in God's kingdom purposes.
