My Citizens Marry For Life: Jesus on Divorce (Matthew 5:31-32) [Audio]

LifePoint Baptist Church Pastor Jarrod Stotmeister lpforme.com Sunday Evening Sermon Title: My Citizens Marry For Life Date: February 15, 2026 Passage: Matthew 5:31-32 In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus addresses divorce and remarriage. He challenges the casual approach to divorce permitted under Mosaic law, declaring that putting away a wife (except for fornication) causes adultery, and marrying a divorced person commits adultery. This teaching calls believers to lifelong commitment in marriage. Matthew 5:31-32 31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: 32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
