Gritty Marriage
Isaac Balban - 10/13/2024
The sermon "Gritty Marriage" tackles the tough issue of divorce by looking at Jesus message in Matthew 5:31-32. The focus is on viewing marriage with the seriousness and respect God intended, especially as cultural norms have skewed this view, often resulting in painful separations that arent part of Gods plan. With divorce rates high even among Christians, the sermon encourages having a God-honoring grit in marriage, which is all about committing wholeheartedly and leaning on grace, humility, and sacrificial love. This kind of marriage mirrors Jesus relationship with the church, as Paul describes in Ephesians 5. No matter where you are in your relationshipwhether struggling, divorced, or contenttheres hope and rescue in Christ, who is always working to restore and redeem.
