Divorce - God Hates It!
Matthew 19:1-9; Malachi 2:14-17
Dr. Nelson Walker

Malachi 2 (NKJV™)
14 Yet you say, "For what reason?" Because the LORD has been witness Between you and the wife of your youth, With whom you have dealt treacherously; Yet she is your companion And your wife by covenant.
15 But did He not make them one, Having a remnant of the Spirit? And why one? He seeks godly offspring. Therefore take heed to your spirit, And let none deal treacherously with the wife of his youth.
16 "For the LORD God of Israel says That He hates divorce, For it covers one's garment with violence," Says the LORD of hosts. "Therefore take heed to your spirit, That you do not deal treacherously."
17 You have wearied the LORD with your words; Yet you say, "In what way have we wearied Him?" In that you say, "Everyone who does evil Is good in the sight of the LORD, And He delights in them," Or, "Where is the God of justice?"
Matthew 19 (NKJV™)
1 Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these sayings, that He departed from Galilee and came to the region of Judea beyond the Jordan.
2 And great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them there.
3 The Pharisees also came to Him, testing Him, and saying to Him, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?"
4 And He answered and said to them, "Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning 'made them male and female,'
5 "and said, 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'?
6 "So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate."
7 They said to Him, "Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?"
8 He said to them, "Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.
9 "And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery."

Beyond the Summer of Love

Divorce is common occurrence in the United States, bringing pain into the lives of children and adults alike. Since God hates divorce, how should the church respond to the problem? Is there ever cause for a Christian to get divorced? This message will examine the difficulties caused by divorce, review the biblical allowances for divorce, and offer hope for those whose lives have been affected by it.

The 1960s promised us an explosion of love and brotherhood, but instead they delivered a nation in turmoil, confusion, and moral decline. In this series, Skip Heitzig and the Calvary pastors tell us about God's solution for damaged families, His guide for successful marriage, and how to restore a relationship that has been damaged by sin. This series will take you beyond the easy, simplistic slogans of man, and back toward the plan of our loving heavenly Father.

Single For Life?
Matthew 19:11-12;1 Corinthians 7:17-24
Brian Nixon
Info
Message Summary
The 1960's were one of the most epic of generations in Modern Times: Summer of Love, Man on the Moon, Vietnam, Music, Art, Politics. Yet what many people forget is that the 1960's were the flowering or the T.V game show. The Price is Right, I've Got a Secret (Steve Allen), Truth or Consequences (Bob Barker), Concentration (Hugh Downs), and of course, The Dating Game and The Match Game. The basic gist of most of these programs consisted of answering a question or making a guess at a question. Then usually at the end someone gets to go for the big prize, the "Million Dollar" question, if you will. We are going to play our own version of Match Game. I will show a picture of a famous person from history, you will shout out their name, and if you are really good, tell me what they did. And like most of the games, there will be the final, "Million Dollar" question at the end.

The A,B,C's of Dating
Song_of_Solomon 1:9-2:4
Nate Heitzig
Info
Message Summary
When a kindergartner heads off to school it is ideal that they have some basics down before entering the classroom. It is simply easier on everyone if the student can write their name, knows their ABCs, and can count to twenty. While a dating relationship is never simple, we can learn how to make it easier by applying basic biblical principles.

When a Man Loves a Woman
Genesis 2:4-25
Dave Row
Info
Message Summary
As the lyrics say, "When a man loves a woman, can't keep his mind on nothing else…she can do no wrong." But not long after the honeymoon, reality sets in. Marriage can be one of the most difficult human relationships, and applying the biblical principles of leaving, cleaving and weaving are vital to a healthy union.

Marriage is so dramatic!
Ephesians 5:22-33
Kevin Miller
Info
Message Summary
Though many couples struggle to survive, marriage doesn't have to be a soap opera. Surely there can be plenty of drama when two sinners attempt to love one another for a lifetime, but drama is not all bad. In the great stage of life, it's important that each person knows the role they are to play. Scripture clearly instructs us about how we are to play our parts so that the world can take a look at our marriages and grasp the relationship between Christ and the church.

Those in unequally yoked marriage often find themselves in a difficult situation. A marriage between a Christian and someone who does not yet know the Lord can bring anguish, discomfort and frustration. Is "missionary dating" okay? Why are these marriages prohibited by scripture? Is there hope for believers who feel trapped in unequally yoked marriages? These are issues addressed in this message, where we'll learn that unequally yoked marriages are "Kind of a Drag."

Strange Days Indeed
Jeremiah 3
Chip Lusko
Info
Message Summary
The church's view of divorce and re-marriage often reaches extremes and it's a topic that makes many believers uncomfortable. However, the Lord knows our need for both gracious healing and clear instruction.
