What does Jesus really say about divorce? In this sermon Jeff Piepho unpacks Mark 10:1-12 and shows that while our culture often oversells divorce as the answer, Jesus points to the hardness of our hearts as the real problem. Marriage is not just a human contract—it’s a covenant where God Himself joins people together. To tear it apart is to undo what God has united.
This message explores what the Bible teaches about divorce, remarriage, and the seriousness of entering into marriage in the first place. We’ll look at Jesus’ words, Paul’s instructions in 1 Corinthians 7, and how different interpretations of Scripture have shaped the Church’s view on this difficult issue.
The challenge: instead of running from a hard marriage, trust that God can use it to grow you into Christlikeness. Work toward reconciliation with patience, wise counsel, and prayer. And if you’re not yet married, enter it with caution, commitment, and the conviction that it’s meant to last a lifetime.
