Responding to Current Cultural Circumstances
Mark 10:1-12
1. Back to the Bible
2. Back to the Beginning
3. Back to the Basics
Welcome to Lee Park!
As we continue our series on Christian responses, we deal with the issue of cultural debates and antagonistic challenges to people of faith. How we respond when baited into an argument says a lot about the maturity of our faith and trust in God’s Word. I trust you will enjoy your time with us today at Lee Park!
For His Glory! - Pastor Chris
Setting out from there, Jesus *went to the region of Judea and beyond the Jordan; crowds *gathered to Him again, and, as He was accustomed, He once more began to teach them.
2 And some Pharisees came up to Jesus, testing Him, and began questioning Him whether it was lawful for a man to [a]divorce his wife. 3 And He answered and said to them, “What did Moses command you?” 4 They said, “Moses permitted a man to write a [b]certificate of divorce and [c]send his wife away.” 5 But Jesus said to them, “[d]Because of your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment. 6 But from the beginning of creation, God created them male and female. 7 For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother[e], 8 and the two shall become one flesh; so they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9 Therefore, what God has joined together, no person is to separate.”
10 And in the house the disciples again began questioning Him about this. 11 And He *said to them, “Whoever [f]divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her; 12 and if she herself [g]divorces her husband and marries another man, she is committing adultery.”
