Marriages Ends because of Unclear Motives…. TAP IN!!

Main message: Marital breakdowns often come from unclear or unhealthy motives (the root), not just the visible sins (the fruit); Jesus models forgiveness and transformation, so believers can be thankful that God forgives and cleans up their pasts.

Key points:

• Many divorces result from unclear motives beneath the surface rather than only adultery, abuse, or abandonment.
• Adultery, abuse, and abandonment are symptoms (fruit) of deeper issues (root).
• The story of the woman caught in adultery (John 8) shows Jesus refusing to condemn and dealing with sin in a redemptive way.
• God isn't afraid to "get his hands dirty" — he forgives past mistakes and transforms people.
• Believers should praise God for the change and forgiveness in their lives.

Scriptures mentioned: John 8
