Questions for Jesus | What About Divorce?
About this series:
In each of the gospels we find Jesus asking questions of his disciples, the crowds and his opponents. And we also find Jesus being asked questions - by his disciples, the crowds and his opponents. Here, we will take 10 questions people asked of Jesus, the first from Luke’s gospel to set up the series and then the rest from Matthew’s gospel.
As well as working through the specific passages, we will aim to encourage people to consider what questions they would like to ask Jesus. The hope is that by looking at Matthew’s gospel in this way, we will see more clearly who Jesus is, be inspired to follow him and learn to be honest about our own questions as we grow to become more like him.
About this talk:
As cultural views on marriage today continue to shift, we remain firmly grounded in Scripture. In Matthew 19, we look to Jesus' response to the Pharisees for guidance. We approach these sensitive matters with grace, discernment, and a deep commitment to truth—offering pastoral care and thoughtful, case-by-case wisdom in complex situations.

The question of God’s gift of forgiveness becomes an opportunity to explain who he is, what he came to do and why he would want a relationship with us.
The answer to this question depends on the evidence Jesus has provided for being our Saviour - the evidence of his birth, life, death, resurrection, miracles and so on.
The last, the least and the lost are on God’s heart and are the focus of his mission.
As cultural views on marriage today continue to shift, we remain firmly grounded in what Scripture says.
This is the ultimate question because our answer to it defines our understanding of God’s revelation and sacrifice for us.
We all have questions for Jesus. Financial pressures arise, illness strikes, a relationship breaks down and we wonder, “Lord, don’t you care?”
