City on a Hill: Marriage

Pastor Jayson Workman

Matthew 5:31–32; 19:1–9

 

Introduction:

Commitment flows out of a marriage when Christ is the cornerstone.

1. The concern is not moral conformity. (vv. 19:1–3)
2. The commitment is a covenant. (vv. 19:4–6)

Quote: “These words are often said in a perfunctory way, but they speak to the deep spiritual reality of marriage: it is something God has done. To think of it as anything less is to diminish it.” —Matt Chandler, Mingling of Souls

3. The cornerstone is Christ.

            Continue to pursue Christ.

            Continue to pursue your spouse’s heart.

            Continue to confess.

Quote: “Every failure in your life, every shortcoming, every stumble, every bloody knee, every broken nose is redeemed by Christ and used by the Holy Spirit to help shape, mold, and serve what’s behind you.” —Matt Chandler
