Summary

The average divorce rates for Americans are 42 percent for first marriages, 60 percent for second marriages, and 73 percent for third marriages. Since this affects so many people (the couple, the children, the extended family and friends, etc.), it is important to understand God’s view of divorce. What does the Bible say about this subject? And what does it mean for those who have been divorced? Is there forgiveness, healing, and life after divorce? Join Pastor Gary as he teaches through a challenging passage and sensitive subject in today’s study entitled, “God’s View of Divorce.”

1 Corinthians chapter 7 if you have your Bibles we started into chapter 7 last week if you're new to

0:07.2

Cornerstone I just go straight through the Bible cover to cover we're here in the book of first

0:11.4

Corinthians chapter 7 where Paul deals with the subjects of singleness marriage sex and divorce

0:19.3

last week we talked about singleness, marriage, and sex,

0:23.2

and today we are talking about the challenging passage of 1st Corinthians 7

1:06.1

And I say that it is a sensitive subject because I will endeavor to be sensitive to those of you who have

been personally impacted and not too many of us haven't in some extended way by the sin of divorce.

1:20.4

Divorce is a very painful and sometimes messy thing that happens in families. And may I say that it is not just limited to the husband and wife who get divorced.

in the marriage. Now, I will tell you personally, when I was 13 years of age, my parents separated,

1:55.4

and a few years later, they got divorced. So I am well acquainted with how painful divorce can be in families.

2:04.1

And partly that's the reason why I will be sensitive in this subject, because I have seen

2:09.9

how it has affected my own family growing up.

2:14.1

Not only does it affect children, but sometimes it can affect the parents of the spouses who are divorcing,
