Upcoming series on Divorce & Remarriage

Add comment April 30th, 2008

The issue of divorce and remarriage is a “hot button” issue among Christians and has been a source of struggle and contention over the centuries. In our preaching series through the gospel of Mark we’re pausing in chapter ten to broaden and deepen our study as Jesus responds to a pointed and probing question by the Pharisees. Over the next few sessions we’ll be looking at the Biblical and historical data and presenting an informative, helpful and gracious approach to a touchy but very relevant subject. Tune in to the audio page starting May 4th, 2008.
