Today, we’ll be focusing on Matthew 5:31-37. We’ve titled this sermon: FAITHFULNESS IN THE KINGDOM because it addresses King Jesus' call to be faithful in keeping the marriage covenant and in our daily communication. In the gospel of Matthew 5:31-37, Jesus taught His disciples that true righteousness in the kingdom of heaven required a deeper faithfulness to the commitments they made than what was taught by the religious leaders of that day. As Kingdom citizens we are called to pursue faithfulness in all our commitments.
