Pentecost 18B -- Marriage and Faithfulness -- Mark 10

Readings: Genesis 2:18-24 Mark 10:2-16 Marriage is a gift given by God to provide order in a constantly changing world.  In the midst of this change, we can indeed be faithful because first and foremost God is faithful to us.  This sermon is highly influenced by the essay "The Venture of Marriage" by Gilbert Meilaender, published in The Two Cities of God, ed. Braaten and Jenson, Eerdmans, 1997
