Scripting the Flip - Sermon On The Mount - Divorce

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Sermon on the Mount series.

Matthew 5:31-32 says, "It was also said, 'Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce'. But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery."

While the circumstances around divorce and adultery are very personal, we want to bring a message of grace, truth, and the hope of the gospel. We hope you're encouraged by the words of Jesus, even if you're personally challenged by this topic.

Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on February 9, 2025, at 9:30am. You can find us online at nwhills.com.
