Sex, Lies, and Marriage
by Sermon Recap on July 7th, 2025
In Deuteronomy 22:13-30, we're challenged to consider the sacred nature of marriage and sexual purity. The passage reveals God's high standards for His people, emphasizing the seriousness of adultery and sexual immorality. We're reminded that marriage isn't just a human institution, but a divine reflection of God's covenant with His people. This perspective invites us to see our relationships through a spiritual lens, recognizing that how we honor our marriages directly impacts our relationship with God. The harsh consequences described in the Old Testament law highlight just how seriously God takes these matters. While we no longer stone adulterers, we're called to take sexual purity and marital faithfulness just as seriously in our modern context. This message encourages us to examine our own lives, relationships, and cultural attitudes towards sex and marriage, challenging us to align more closely with God's design and purpose.  Read More
