    Seek a genuine heart relationship with God, and not the superficial religion of the Pharisees.

    Nullification – Mark 7:1-23 This morning, I’d like to invite you to look into chapter seven of Mark’s gospel with me, and to consider what God may want to say to you from this portion of his word.

    Everybody has spiritual enemies. If you say you do not have, then you must have dropped from heaven because Jesus Himself had and they hated Him and did not hide it. They would have killed Him before His time if not that He had a ministry to fulfil.
