Message summary & scripture references
One of our Church for Entrepreneurs’ members asked me to address a question in his marriage. He is considering divorcing his wife and is wondering if there are a time and season for divorce. In today’s message, I share his story and provide an answer to his question.
Matthew 19:10-11 MSG
[10] Jesus’ disciples objected, “If those are the terms of marriage, we’re stuck. Why get married?”
[11] But Jesus said, “Not everyone is mature enough to live a married life. It requires a certain aptitude and grace. Marriage isn’t for everyone. Some, from birth seemingly, never give marriage a thought. Others never get asked-or accepted. And some decide not to get married for kingdom reasons. But if you’re capable of growing into the largeness of marriage, do it.”
Matthew 19:5-6 KJV
[5] And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
[6] Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
Matthew 7:24-27 KJV
[24] Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
[25] And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
[26] And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
[27] And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
Genesis 3:12 KJV
[12] And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
Genesis 4:1 KJV
[1] And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord .
1 Peter 3:7 KJV
[7] Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
1 Corinthians 7:3-5 KJV
[3] Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
[4] The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
[5] Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
