How do you handle conflict in marriage without allowing anger, offense, and bitterness to tear you apart?In this message from the Blessed Marriage series, Pastor Ryan Visconti teaches biblical principles for communication, conflict, forgiveness, and fighting for peace in your marriage. Healthy marriages aren't conflict-free. The difference is learning how to work through disagreements in a way that honors God and strengthens your relationship.From understanding the three levels of communication to uncovering the true source of conflict, dealing with offense, controlling anger, and choosing forgiveness, this message offers practical biblical wisdom for every married couple. You'll learn why communication problems are often deeper spiritual problems, how pride fuels conflict, when to overlook an offense and when to address it, and how to use your words to heal instead of hurt.Every marriage will experience miscommunication, disappointment, irritation, and hurt. But instead of fighting against your spouse, God can teach you to fight together for peace.

Is marriage just a legal contract, or is it something far more sacred? The Book of Malachi gives one of the clearest and most direct answers in all of Scripture, and its message is just as relevant today as it was thousands of years ago. God designed marriage from the very beginning as a covenant between one man and one woman for life. It is not simply a courthouse document. It is a sacred promise made before God, with God Himself as witness. Malachi 2:14 makes this unmistakably clear, reminding us that God has been a witness between a husband and the wife of his youth. In this message from Malachi chapter two, we explore what God actually says about marriage, faithfulness, divorce, and how to protect your relationship. Topics covered include: • What the Bible says about God's design for marriage • Why marriage is a covenant and not just a contract • What faithfulness in marriage really looks like • Why God hates divorce and what that means for us today • Common cultural excuses for divorce and why they fall short of Scripture • Practical steps to guard and strengthen your marriage • The connection between a healthy home and a healthy relationship with God Whether you are married, engaged, single, or somewhere in between, this message speaks directly to how God views the covenant of marriage and what He expects from those who enter into it. God does not hate divorced people. He loves people deeply. But He does hate divorce, and understanding the difference matters. His standard has not changed, and neither has His grace for those who are willing to take the covenant seriously. If you have been asking questions like: What does the Bible say about marriage? Does God really hate divorce? How do I protect my marriage? or What is a biblical marriage? this message is for you.

Today on Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, I'm addressing the divorcee community and I'm going straight to the Bible.Why does God say He hates divorce? What does Scripture actually teach about marriage, covenant, divorce, and the responsibilities of husbands and wives? And why have divorce rates become so incredibly high, particularly as wives increasingly initiate divorce over reasons that, from a biblical perspective, are trivial, selfish, or completely unbiblical?This is not a message designed to just shame people who have experienced divorce. It is a challenge to the culture that has normalized abandoning marriage whenever things become difficult, inconvenient, or uncomfortable. We need to be willing to distinguish between legitimate biblical grounds for divorce and the endless list of modern excuses we've created to justify walking away from a sacred covenant.And that's not all we're discussing.I'm also talking about Donald Trump's continued failures, the gap between political promises and political reality, and why Americans should be questioning the decisions being made in our name.Plus, we're talking about the Iran War and why I believe this conflict is unnecessary and why Americans should be asking whether another foreign war actually serves the interests of the United States.Marriage. Divorce. Biblical truth. Trump. Iran. War. Political accountability.I'm saying what I believe needs to be said, even when it isn't popular (as usual).--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app

What is marriage really meant to carry? In a culture where definitions shift and opinions collide, Pastor Jon reminds us that Biblical Marriage is not ours to redesign—it's God's creation, and because He created it, He alone defines it.In this message from our This We Believe series, Pastor Jon explores the biblical foundation of marriage through Jesus' words in Matthew 19 and Genesis 2. Marriage is more than companionship—it's a covenant, a union, and a picture of Christ's faithful love for His people. As Pastor Jon said, “Marriage carries covenant… sexual faithfulness… families and future generations.”He also spoke pastorally to every season of life—married, single, divorced, or healing—reminding us that “you don't need marriage to complete you. You need Jesus.” What we didn't receive doesn't have to determine what we get to build. With God's grace, our homes and relationships can become testimonies of redemption and hope.This message is part of This We Believe: Exploring the Essential Truths That Shape Our Faith and Who We Are, a series on the authority of Scripture, who God is, the person and work of Jesus, the power of the Holy Spirit, the purpose of the Church, and our mission in the world.NEXT STEPS:Whether you're exploring faith, growing in your relationship with Jesus, or looking for a church community, we'd love to help you take your next step.

In this message, Samuel Goulet unpacks the meaning and weight of covenant—first between God and His people, then within marriage and the church community. Drawing from both Old and New Testament language, he explains that covenant is not casual agreement but a sacred commitment initiated by God and fulfilled through Jesus. Samuel challenges listeners to let that covenant shape how they follow Christ, forgive others, love sacrificially, and build marriages marked by holiness, humility, prayer, and enduring commitment.

What does this have to do with marriage? More than you think. If we're praying for God's blessing while resisting His authority, we're building on the wrong foundation.

As the Apostle Paul encourages the Thessalonians Christians to pursue Holiness and Sanctification in their lives, he contrast that with living a life of sexual immorality which he identifies with pagan behavior. Why would he single out this one sin or struggle over all of the others as a danger to holiness? What does he mean by "sexual immorality" and what does that term mean in our modern context? In this message we examine why sexual sins are different from other sins and how the consequences of any sexual behavior outsides the bounds of Biblical Marriage not only effects our ability to "please God" and "honor God with our bodies" but can also have a lifelong destructive consequence on all of our personal relationships. We also examine how you can overcome sexual temptation and sin.
