Jesus on Divorce | Matthew

8/30/20
Jesus had many uncomfortable things to say in His Sermon on the Mount. Among the issues He covered was the topic of divorce. And as uncomfortable as the subject is, as followers of Jesus Christ we must have a Biblical understanding of marriage and divorce. In today’s teaching, Pastor Gary shares the two Biblical grounds for divorce and sensitively discusses the topic with grace and truth.

Dear Pastor Gary, please continue to enlighten the younger generation too on the importance of commitment and striving in a marriage. Please continue to expose the darts of the evil one and help people understand how he has been attacking marriages which began in the Garden of Eden and still goes on. Preach like you’ve never preached before on the importance of “Till Death Do Us Part”.

[@sherraleewoods3668]

I have avoided this numerous times. Time I faced my fears.

[@sglatitude]

Beautiful and edifying sermon as always. Simply the precious truth Word of God. Thank you for this sermon that one cannot undone what has happened in the past but move on with his or her life in Him, glorifying the LORD till He call all us home to be with Him 🙏🏼

[@victoriaduff3617]

Thank you Gary for your diligence in going through the bible verse by verse! Your faithfulness to God is admirable especially in a time when most pastors only preach salvation and choose to skip over such relevant but sometimes controversial topics!! God Bless

[@maureenhenderson301]

I have been married for 60 years and God is blessing our marriage more than I ever dreamed could happen without him this what I call a miracle never could’ve happened I am so very very thankful for his faithfulness he truly is the answer to every one who turns their life over to him daily but oh what a joy as we see the blessings over and over again when we obey and depend upon him for what he and only he can bless us with his grace and his love it’s worth it sheep clothes to him through all the challenges of marriage it is a blessing as you move on the best years we are experiencing have been these later years God is faithful trust him

[@maureenhenderson301]

Yea

🥰Amen 🙏

I’m more interested in remarriage when the original spouse is alive. It’s clear that divorce is okay for pornea, but remarriage is expressly prohibited when the original spouse is still alive according to the scriptures. Romans 7:3, Mark 10:11, Luke 16:18, etc. It’s a scary reality that so many churches are okay with their patrons living in adultery. We need to realize obedience to God surpasses any feeling of a “need” to be happy in this life. In fact, we should expect pain and misery on this side of eternity and we are to be so grateful when it isn’t so bad. Let’s be obedient to our Lord and Savior! God bless!❤

[@Jeremylee2]

I highly recommend premarital counseling for any couple before marriage.

[@mariegoodwin6170]

Love your teaching, many 😊

[@ghogomujenet7407]

Gary. Love your teachings. I have learnt so much especially the last Book of the Bible. Just discovered You. Wonder!! From West Africa:: Cameroon. May God continually engrace, strengthen, sustain, enable with wisdom and knowledge in Jesus name.

[@SuperGolden65]

My favourite God's message

[@ellenthwala8427]

Wow love your teaching. This thing about marriage is tough. Ellen Thwala Swaziland.

[@sisterolivia9874]

Blessed

[@deannaanzevino]

I got married never imagining I would ever get divorced. We both often said we didn’t believe in divorce. After like 6-7 years it went south, hard! Then he has 3-4 affairs that I know of! Gets someone else preg and then we divorced… never imagined it tho.

[@lisae764]

My kids and myself would be dead if I hadn't gotten us out. My current husband helped me stay safe in that horrible situation.

[@undercovermother5243]

Same with me. We made bad choices. I found Jesus after. I am twice divorced.

[@sglatitude]

25:45 what happen to when the one committed adultery remorseful, repent and ask forgiveness to the LORD and to the spouse but yet the spouse does not want to forgive? Question: 1. Does God forgive the one who committed adultery in above situation? 2. Does it mean the one who committed adultery will not have sin forgiven because the spouse does not forgive the offender?

[@sandranovakovich688]

The adulterer broke the=marriage covenant. God forgives when the one who sinned is truly sorrowful and repents. The spouse has every righty o not stay in the marriage. Forgiveness is not the same as reconciliation. The innocent spouse may need much time to get to forgiveness of the adulterer. There are consequences that need to be paid.

[@SachelleCambria]

God’s forgiveness has nothing to do with the fact that someone refuses to forgive you.

[@FeWolf]

Pretty clear, if you divorce and remarry you are committing adultery, this is repeated sin.

[@grant2149]

Excatly

[@SachelleCambria]

I don’t know why people find that hard to understand.

[@MegaGoodnite]

Isn't the part at 4.45 a contradiction? The divorced woman could also be so, because of her spouse being sexually immoral.

[@tiamor100]

I listened to your message thought it was great until I reach the end. The scriptures say if he marries another he committed adultery and also causes his second wife to commit adultery. Their relationship is an adulterous one. When does he stop committing adultery, when he asked God for forgiveness? Jesus said to the woman caught in adultery, “leave your life of sin and sin no more. Turning from the sin is God’s expectation. John was beheaded because he preached that It was wrong for Herod to have his brother wife. Thanks be to God that someone can hear God’s voice and repented of adultery by going back to his first wife, because God words are more important. A gay married family is not accepted in the church such marriage would have to be terminated, they can’t pray as you suggested for the adulterous couple and asked God for His continuous forgiveness on the marriage. Why must a adulterous marriage couple stay in the relationship and asked for God forgiveness when God said the adulterous will not enter into the Kingdom of God. At what point this relationship become unadulterated in God sight.

[@Soccer333bc]

I don't think that's right, especially in the example he gave in the video. 1 Corinthians 7:17-20 speaks about a person staying in the situation they were in when they were called. In this case, the man made bad decisions in ignorance and was a slave to the world, but he grew in faith and learned God's teachings. He shouldn't go backward to try to undo a past sin. He was called by God in his current marriage, so he should stay in his current marriage. Ask for forgiveness and continue to do God's will from that point on.

[@MLiving4Jesus]

What if your spouse is an abusive narcissist? Can you get a divorce since it is not physical abuse it is mental abuse?

[@philipbuckley759]

seperate, or even divorce, but the options are reconiclle, or remain unmarried...

[@sandranovakovich688]

May I suggest some excellent videos on marriage and abuse by Leslie Vernick a fantastic Christian counselor and also Lysa Terk’Hurst. Both are excellent in dividing the scriptures.

[@GraceandFaith9]

Yes!

[@SachelleCambria]

Are you planning on staying single?

[@philipbuckley759]

abandonment...here we go, again.....not under bondage, is not a akin to not being bound....the two standard errors of this topic....

[@jillanderson3037]

Please read Exodus 22:16. Fornication is when a woman marries a man who didn't take her virginity. Thank you!

[@KingDrixx]

Fornication means sexual intercourse between people not married to each other. Exodus 22:16-17 simply states that if a man entices an unmarried woman to [fornicate], then he should marry her to make it right and that if her father refuses to marry his daughter off to him, that the man should pay the the dowry rate that a virgin would typically go for as compensation. That does not mean however that fornication is defined as a woman marrying a man who didn't take her virginity.

[@SachelleCambria]

That’s what fornication means.

[@philipbuckley759]

you dont get any further, off base, than this....

[@Jem253]

Please explain

[@philipbuckley759]

adultery in not the issue, it is fornication....and there is an example....Joseph and Mary....

[@Jeremylee2]

Explain this position

[@sandranovakovich688]

I don’t think you have anything positive to contribute here.

[@Jem253]

Joseph and Mary is not an example.

[@ashleysmith8938]

I have heard this many times where they say that the fornication was before marriage and when you married and you found out, she was not a virgin because she did not bleed. Therefore, he had the right to divorce her. Yes, in that time Jews had a divorce for an engagement. As well, however, there’s also a word for virginity in the Greek, why then did Jesus not use that word instead used a word that covered sexual immorality in itself. This is a big question. I’ve asked myself over and over again.

[@SachelleCambria]

I don’t know what you’re trying to convey but adultery and fornication are both wrong.
