Divorce & Our Word

Nov 1, 2026  •  Steve Miller

This message explores Jesus' teachings on marriage and promises from the Sermon on the Mount, addressing the common human tendency to seek loopholes and justifications in commitments. It delves into the sacredness of vows, the sanctity of marriage as a divine covenant, and the importance of living with integrity in our words and actions.


We examine the societal debates surrounding divorce in Jesus' time and His counter-cultural perspective that upholds the dignity of both individuals and the institution of marriage. The teaching also tackles the weight of our words, emphasizing that true faithfulness means our 'yes' is 'yes' and our 'no' is 'no,' reflecting God's own unwavering commitment to us. Ultimately, this message calls us to a deeper understanding of commitment, forgiveness, and the power of the gospel to transform our relationships and lives.
