In this episode, Pastor Chad continues our journey through Matthew and tackles one of the most sensitive and important topics in our culture: marriage, divorce, singleness, and celibacy.

Starting with Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:31–32 and Matthew 19, we look at:

• God’s original design for marriage: one man, one woman, for life
• Why the real issue is first: “Is Jesus Lord?”
• The cultural debate in Jesus’ day and how He cuts through it by going back to creation
• The three A’s as biblical grounds for divorce: adultery, abuse, and abandonment
• A kingdom vision for singleness and celibacy that reflects the life of Jesus and the writings of Paul
• The hope of the gospel for those who carry deep pain, betrayal, or regret

This episode is for you whether you’re married, single, divorced, or walking through sexual brokenness. Jesus is not indifferent to your story. He is the faithful Bridegroom who knows betrayal, who understands covenant, and who comes to heal, restore, and rewrite broken chapters with His mercy.
