Life after Divorce (6 of 6)
Series: Love, Marriage, and a Baby Carriage

Matthew 19:3-12
This is our last message in our series on Love, Marriage and a Baby Carriage.

Your pulse may be a little bit faster. You may feel a little sense of uneasiness because it is a very, very emotional subject.
It is also a controversial subject. Churches disagree about it. Preachers disagree about it. Individuals disagree about it.
