Love & Marriage - January 31, 2016

This sermon was recorded on Sunday, January 31, 2016 and delivered by Tyler Tankersley, pastor of First Baptist Church of Cape Girardeau.

The scripture referenced in this sermon is from the Book of Matthew, chapter 5, verses 27 through 32.

(27) “You have heard the commandment that says, ‘You must not commit adultery.’ (28) But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. (29) So if your eye—even your good eye—causes you to lust, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. (30) And if your hand—even your stronger hand—causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. (31) “You have heard the law that says, ‘A man can divorce his wife by merely giving her a written notice of divorce.’ (32) But I say that a man who divorces his wife, unless she has been unfaithful, causes her to commit adultery. And anyone who marries a divorced woman also commits adultery.

In "Love & Marriage" Tyler addresses "The Sermon on the Mount" as it pertains to relationships, sexuality, marriages, and divorce with two key questions.

First, what do relationships look like in the Kingdom of God and in God's dream for the world?
