Divorce on SermonAudio

This sermon explores the Apostle Paul's call to disciplined Christian service, using the metaphor of an athletic race to illustrate the necessity of self-control and purposeful living. The central message emphasizes that believers must surrender legitimate rights and restrain bodily appetites not for salvation, but to effectively advance the gospel and secure an eternal, incorruptible reward. The text distinguishes between mere activity and effective ministry, warning against the danger of becoming a 'castaway' by failing to live under the very truth one preaches. Through references to Hebrews and Philippians, the exposition highlights the importance of laying aside spiritual weights and sins to run with patience and precision. The sermon concludes with a practical framework for evaluating personal liberties, urging believers to live with open hands in surrendered obedience to Christ's will.

Divorce. Blessing the children. The rich man turns away.

Jesus taught that marriage is a God-joined union of one man and one woman for life that nobody should separate, divorce is permitted in the case of sexual immorality and some believers are called to singleness for the sake of God's kingdom.
