“Marriage God's Way" (Mark 10:1-12)

What does it look like to follow Jesus in our closest relationships? In our passage this Sunday, the Pharisees test Jesus on His teaching about marriage. Indeed, marriage also tests our discipleship. Because it is so personal and costly, it can reveal whether we truly trust Jesus enough to follow Him completely. We’ll see how Jesus exposes the hardness of our hearts and points us back to God’s good design for marriage. He calls us to trust His wisdom over our own desires.

“Do Not Fear, Only Believe” (Mark 5:21-43)
