The Promise, the Enemy, the Savior: Marriage in Malachi

Part of the sermon series "The Return of the Prodigal Church," this episode studies Malachi’s teaching on marriage: God’s design for one-flesh covenant unity. The talk exposes two enemies of marriage—spiritual mismatching (marrying those who worship other gods) and the breaking of covenant through easy divorce—using biblical examples and pastoral warnings about how hearts can wander from God and one another. It points listeners to Jesus as the ultimate husband who forgives, heals, and restores marriages, and concludes with three practical steps for couples: be on guard, renew your covenant vows, and cultivate sexual, relational, and spiritual intimacy.   MAIN TEXT Malachi 2:10-16   SPEAKER David Varney, pastor Foundation Church Belfast   FOUNDATION CHURCH BELFAST Every Sunday 10:30am - 2d Knockwood Crescent, Belfast, BT5 6GE   ADVANCE MOVEMENT We are part of the Advance Movement of churches and the wider Newfrontiers family.   LISTEN TO MORE Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/foundation-church-belfast/id1599109887   Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/6uAXPfwFLdZGmKFlc0jRLX   Deezer https://link.deezer.com/s/30mr8UHtormGRTICQHHkP   Podbean https://foundationchurchbelfast.podbean.com/    Amazon Music https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/0d056dc4-313c-4ccf-9064-398b5c0a3b06   YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@foundationchurchbelfast
