Malcolm Cunningham, February 14, 2016Part of the The Book of Matthew series, preached at a Sunday Morning service
In the last 200 years, people have increasingly avoided the word, "adultery", and 8 months ago the SA con-court ruled it is no longer a criminal offence. But the King of Heaven is greatly concerned about it in Matthew 5.

Matthew 5:27–32 (Listen)
27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ 28 But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell.
31 “It was also said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ 32 But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
