The Marriage Myth (ft. Tammy Comer) | Gospel of Matthew
08/11/23 • 46 min
1 Listener
Is marriage a contract, or a covenant? Is the love that lasts a lifetime a fiery passion of desire, or something else? Is divorce a necessary evil to “be true to yourself,” or a rupture of a deep union? Jesus’ teaching on divorce is based in his vision of marriage, which is as radical today as it was nearly two thousand years ago.
Key Scripture Passage: Matthew 19v1-10
