In Matthew 19:1–12, Jesus is tested with a loaded question about divorce—meant to trap Him in the cultural debates of the day. But instead of arguing loopholes, Jesus brings everyone back to the beginning: God’s intent for marriage, the sacredness of covenant faithfulness, and what it means to live with integrity when preference and discipleship collide. This message explores how Jesus reframes the conversation from “What am I allowed to do?” to “What is God forming me to become?”—and why marriage (and singleness) is ultimately about reflecting the faithfulness of God in a preference-driven world. Whether married or single, we’re invited into a deeper kind of fidelity: a life shaped by the gospel, not by cultural permission structures.
