In Matthew chapter 19, the Pharisees asked Jesus the question, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?" The topic of divorce and remarriage was the big debate at this time. In answer to their question, Jesus said that from the beginning, it was not so; it was not God's original plan. He went on to say that the Law of Moses made provision for divorce not because God desired it but "because of the hardness of your hearts." Divorce is a divine concession to man's sinful weakness, but it is not God's original plan. Let's join Pastor John right now as he explains further in the message Divorce and Remarriage…

In our study today, we hear about the topic of submission in marriage. Pastor John explains what submission is and is not.
