Mark 10:1-16
Jesus Messiah (pt. 6: Marriage and Divorce)

In this series, we will examine the middle section of the gospel according to Mark (Mark 8:22-10:52), which focuses on the developing understanding of the followers of Jesus as his influence expands throughout the region.

In this sixth message, we dive deep into Jesus' conversation with the Pharisees about divorce. This passage has been weaponized against many who have experienced separation, divorce and remarriage. Yet, Jesus doesn't condemn these experiences of pain and brokenness. Rather, he encouarges us to extend empathy and kindness to others, especially when they are hurting, elevating women and children to full inclusion and belovedness.
