Jesus Addresses The Topic Of Marriage, Divorce, And Remarriage Series

Some Pharisees came and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”

Have you heard the dreaded stat that 50% of marriages today end in divorce? Yeah, that isn’t actually true. It was a myth. It came from a projection that if the divorce rate continued to raise by 2% each year, that it could reach that level. But it never actually did. It’s probably closer to 30 to ...read more

Praying When I Am Stressed Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Sep 9, 2024

David speaks to God before he speaks to the people who are causing the problem. So many times, we reverse this. If we have a problem with someone, we talk to them first and only talk to God as a last resort.
