Divorce | Mark 10:2-16

Today we read a tricky passage from Mark that talks about divorce, which has been frequently weaponised in religious contexts.

The aim this morning is not to do that, and to make sure that you are feeling loved by God.

We unpack what relevance this passage could have in today's society where divorce is really normal. What can we learn from this passage?

Ultimately, God doesn't care about the rules. He just wants us to know that whatever we do he will love us. We can always return to God, he will always love us.

He knows that we make mistakes and that we struggle, but God says I love you and I will make you mine.

Mark 10:2-16

 

Prayers & Psalms

Each Sunday, prior to the sermon we have created a space for more voices from our community; One of our children read a Psalm from ‘Psalms for Young Children’ by Marie-Hélène Delval.

Followed by a prayer, shared by a member of our congregation, focused around what's happening in the world, our country and our community. We have included these on our Prayers Page for you to revisit and reflect on the words that they shared.
