Sermon Overview

Scripture Passage: Matthew 5:31-32; 7:24

We are living in a time of national tragedy, rooted in homes built on throw-away marriages. The American way has created a vicious cycle: divorce produces broken children, and broken children produce broken homes.

Marriage is made in Heaven and is to be worked out here on Earth. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus tells us how important a foundation for the family is.

Matthew 7:24 says, “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock…”

First, we must remember God’s designed plan for marriage.

Marriage is a divine institution made by God to meet the deepest needs of humankind. Second to our relationship with God, it is our highest priority. When we commit to another in marriage, we leave our mother and father and unite with our spouse, becoming one flesh—physically, psychologically, and spiritually.

Together, as husband and wife, we are to raise children to the best of our abilities, so they can be independent followers of Christ.

Adrian Rogers says, “Your job (as a parent) is to work yourself out of a job. A parent is successful when children no longer need them. But you don’t work yourself out of a relationship.”

We also see God’s desire for permanent marriages.

God has said in His Word He hates divorce; He has permitted divorce for the specific occasion of adultery, but He doesn’t command it. Instead, we are commanded to love continually.

Adrian Rogers says, “It is not love that sustains your marriage; it is your marriage that sustains your love.” We must vow to attack the problems rather than one another and steer a broken marriage in the right direction.

Finally, this passage shares that God has declared a pardon for failed marriages.

If you’ve experienced divorce and remarriage, there’s no going backward—but this is not an unpardonable sin. God’s forgiveness is always available; we need only ask for it.

We must be sure, going forward, that we are seeking to honor Him in our relationships, dedicating the home to Him, and making sure He is the foundation of the family we’ve created.

Apply it to your life

Is Jesus Christ the foundation of your family? Are you committed to steering your marriage in the right direction? Change what you can change, accept what you cannot change, and commit your marriage to God.
