CALVARY CHURCH WEEKLY NEWS |

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2021 |
|
This Sunday, in the series on Jesus’ Teaching on Marriage and Gender, we come to the difficult subject of divorce. I realize that this message may be particularly painful for those of you who have gone through divorce. But our commitment is to the truth of Holy Scripture, and to its pages we must turn when we think of divorce. We will listen to Jesus and note the difference in our secular society, where marriage is sometimes seen as just another disposable item. Next week, we will be thinking of the gay debate.
I am praying that although these subjects are weighty, the hope of the glorious Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ will shine. One of the marvelous things about the Gospel is that the Lord Jesus always meets us where we are rather than where we should be. And there is always more grace in our Lord Jesus than there is sin in us! So whatever your past, or whatever your present condition may be, I want to assure you of God’s love and His grace as we seek Him with all of our hearts.
