    Have you ever felt like a spiritual hypocrite? Good news… Jesus understands… and he came not to condemn us… but to call us out… from outward religion to real life and relationship with God.

    Breakthrough Spirituality Brad Bailey – February 25, 2007 (Much of the ‘commentary’ notes used in prep for this message are from or adapted from Don Williams, KingdomRain website study on Gospel of Mark Such commentary was never read but merely serves as ideas that were drawn on and ...read more

    What is a true Christ follower?

    A few years ago I was driving to the Adirondack Mountains where I would spend a week in the Whitney Wilderness area. My canoe was on top of the car, my backpack and other equipment was in the back and I was set for the long trip to upper state New York. Driving that far is a little boring so I ...read more

    Whitewashed Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,654 views

    Christians can't settle for lives whitewashed on the outside--looking good. Our lives need to be inwardly transformed.

    Mark 7:1-8, 14-15, 21-23 “Whitewashed” INTRODUCTION Most of us spend a fair amount of time making ourselves look good on the outside. Here, in Arizona, we may not be into suits and ties for men, or business attire for women. We may not live the credo, “dress for ...read more

    Timeless teaching from Jesus as to the true nature and source of sin.

    THE INS AND OUTS OF ‘RELIGIOUS’ PURITY. Mark 7:1-23. Every branch of society has its own traditions: some good, some bad, and some inconsequential. It doesn’t matter whether it is the pomp and ceremony of monarchy, or the ritual ‘pardon’ of a turkey at Thanksgiving. Some traditions are ...read more

    Telos

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jul 9, 2018
     | 3,434 views

    Of all the sins listed in our Gospel today, the telos in that list is extremely off-course from God.

    22B People put their entire moral analysis on intention only; e.g. If my intention is good, I can do it. But actually, “telos” is the word in the Bible that orients ourselves toward God. Telos means “purpose, intent, goal.” E.g. Bulimia is acting against the telos of eating. A couple good ...read more

    Jesús está diciendo que no son las cosas externas sino las internas, las que tienen que ver con la disposición del corazón. las que pueden o santificarnos o llevarnos al pecado.

    22B Marcos 7:3 nos habla hoy de los fariseos y judíos que no comían sin lavarse antes las manos, y purificar los vasos, las jarras y las ollas. Hay un dicho, "la limpieza va del lado de la piedad. La razón por la que los discípulos no se lavaban las manos en ese episodio de nuestro ...read more

     | 14,955 views

    I fear too often we major on the minor things and neglect the greater aspects of our faith and service unto the Lord. Jesus confronted the hypocrisy and neglect of the Pharisees. This passage reveals similarities to the modern church.

    Clean Hands and Defiled Hearts Mark 7: 1-23 It has been a while since we’ve heard from the scribes and Pharisees, but they were a continual nuisance to the Lord as He ministered among the people. It appears they followed Jesus as often as they could, seeking any means to accuse Him and discredit ...read more

    There are things we must let go of in order for God to work in and through us. Here are some great examples we can learn from, and instructions that we can follow.

    It is recorded in Exodus 2:1-2, “During this time a man from the tribe of Levi married a woman of his own tribe, and she bore him a son. When she saw what a fine baby he was, she hid him for three months.” (GNB) There are three things we note in the above mentioned verses; firstly there was a ...read more

    Critically Important Contrasts Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jul 17, 2023
     | 2,208 views

    In this section of the Gospel of Mark, Mark presents some critically important contrasts between Jesus and the Scribes and Pharisees as Jesus clarifies the difference between truth and tradition, and between inward and outward righteousness.

    Introduction: A. Many years ago, the Washington Post carried a story about a man who was working on his farm in Wisconsin, when suddenly something dropped out of the sky into a field near him. 1. The object was blue, frozen, and mysterious. 2. Excitedly, the man chopped off a huge chunk, put it in ...read more

    We have been forgiven in Christ for the sins that we have committed and confessed. But the underlying condition out of which these sins arise - what’s to be done about that?

    “Out, damned spot!” may be one of the most widely recognized lines Shakespeare ever wrote. I wonder why? In a more innocent age it might have been for the forbidden thrill of saying “damn.” But of course that doesn’t apply any more, does it. It’s one of the milder epithets available. If that’s the ...read more

    Wrong About Religion

    based on 1 rating
     | 504 views

    If we focus on our tenets to the exclusion of focusing on the will of the Lord, we are in danger of drifting into Pharisaical Religion. If we allow this to happen, we will displease the Lord and oppose Him.

    “When the Pharisees gathered to him, with some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem, they saw that some of his disciples ate with hands that were defiled, that is, unwashed. (For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands properly, holding to the tradition of the ...read more

    The Jesus Of The Word Of God Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Mar 17, 2025
     | 269 views

    Try as we might, we can't make Jesus into just anything we want Him to be. If we would meet, follow and worship the real Jesus, we must understand that He is the Jesus of the Bible, the Living Word of God, for to believe anything else will result in wasted worship.

    “You don’t get your own personal Jesus!” In spite of what a recent “He gets us” television ad says, that’s the emphatic title of a little booklet written by popular east-coast Baptist Pastor J. D. Grear. He confesses that he first said it, actually yelled it in the middle of a television ...read more
