Marriage is one of those preaching topics that we just can't avoid. But it's not getting easier. People in our culture are confused about marriage. A culture of easy divorce has filled our churches with broken hearts. And it's tough to find that new sermon angle for yet another wedding.

Check out some of our fresh preaching resources on these important topics:

• Featured Sermon—"Divorce and the Seeds of the Resurrection" by Peter Scazzero
• Skills Article—"Preaching on Divorce: How can we give hope to lives impacted by broken marriages?" Peter Scazzero
• New Illustration—"Price of the Average American Wedding" and the $70 billion wedding industry business
• Holiday & Events—See the latest resources from our Weddings and Marriage page

P.S. A final challenge from Peter Scazzero's article: "Many people who get divorced would not have gotten divorced if we as pastors and leaders had equipped them with better preparation on how to be married. We frequently act as though healthy marriages just happen or they just don't."

Matt Woodley is the pastor of compassion ministries at Church of the Resurrection in Wheaton, Illinois.
