Jesus on Objectification and Oppression | Gospel of Matthew

When Jesus recounts the Laws from the Torah, he doesn’t simply address the behavior, he gets to the heart of sin. John Mark explores Jesus's commandments surrounding lust and divorce and highlights how God's heart is for us to honor one another as brothers and sisters in our we see and interact with one another. He concluded by challenging us to repent for the ways that we have dishonored one another and to step forward into Jesus's plan for human flourishing.Key Scripture Passage: Matthew 5v27-32 Resources from this teaching: Divorce and Remarriage in the Church, David Instone-BrewerThis podcast and its episodes are paid for by The Circle, our community of monthly givers.
