This message explores the incredible and counterintuitive benefits an exclusive marriage covenant gives.

Genesis 2:24

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother,

and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

Matthew 19

When Jesus had finished saying these things,

he left Galilee and went down to the region of Judea east of the Jordan River.

Large crowds followed him there, and he healed their sick.

Some Pharisees came and tried to trap him with this question:

“Should a man be allowed to divorce his wife for just any reason?”

“Haven’t you read the Scriptures?” Jesus replied.

“They record that from the beginning

‘God made them male and female.’”

And he said, “‘This explains why a man leaves

his father and mother and is joined to his wife,

and the two are united into one.’

Since they are no longer two but one,

let no one split apart what God has joined together.”

Ephesians 5: 21, 22 & 25

John 2:24

But Jesus did not trust them, because he knew how all people think.

Matthew 6:30

If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?

Luke 7:39

If this man [Jesus] were a prophet, he would know who is touching him and what kind of woman she is—that she is a sinner.

Do you see this woman?

John 1:38

The two disciples heard what he said they left John, and they followed Jesus. When Jesus turned and saw them following, he asked, “What are you looking for?”

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak...
