Pastor Matt Hodge (Discipleship Pastor) - Matthew 19:1-12 (Genesis 2:18 & 21-24; Matthew 19:1-12; Ephesians 1:6-8; 5:22-33; I Corinthians 1:1-17; 6:11; 7:15)

 

In this lesson, we will be reminded of God’s ultimate plan for marriage and see how divorce is a deviation from that plan. By acknowledging divorce as a product of the sinfulness and brokenness of the world, we will ultimately see how the grace of God can take the brokenness in our lives, and do what we could never think possible!
