    based on 74 ratings
     | 9,825 views

    How did Jesus deal with "Traditon." How can we apply His teaching to our practices today?

    The Trouble with Tradition Mark 7:1–13 INTRODUCTION We obtain biblical authority from three ways: 1. Direct Command, 2. Divine Example and 3. Necessary Inference. When we come across anything for which we do not have a command, example or cannot infer proper action from clear biblical ...read more

    The Heart Of The Matter Series

    based on 27 ratings
     | 7,322 views

    Learn from the mistakes of the Pharisees: (1) Don’t be too caught up by the outward, it’s the heart that counts; (2) Don’t be too caught up by what man thinks; it’s what God thinks that counts.

    We are all creatures of habit. We do many things over and over again. • There is nothing wrong with that. There will surely be routines in life. • But the danger comes when we get so accustomed to them, that we no longer understand the reason why we are doing them. • If fact, we may have lost its ...read more

    Rules Or Reality Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jan 14, 2005
    based on 41 ratings
     | 9,166 views

    It’s much easier for us to follow rules than to allow the character of God to rule our behavior. Jesus challenges us to let go of law and let the Spirit guide.

    For an audio version of this and other Bible studies: Go to: www.LivingWatersWeb.com. When it comes to some things in life we like rules and laws – like the law of gravity: “In the ongoing battle between objects made of aluminum going hundreds of miles per hour and the ground going zero miles ...read more

    What does it mean to "honor God with your lips" and yet be far from him? This sermon explores the type of followers Jesus is calling us to become.

    Mark 7:1-23 “Does God want a Dirty Church?” 7:1 The Pharisees and some of the teachers of the law who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus and 2 saw some of his disciples eating food with hands that were "unclean," that is, unwashed. 3(The Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they ...read more

    If you want to keep your relationship with Christ fresh and vital, don't focus on tradition and clean hands; instead, focus on scripture and a clean heart.

    Alan Kraft, in his book, Good News for Those Trying Harder, shares a story about a time when his wife borrowed his car and heard a CD he had loaded in the sound system. The song touched her. When she asked him about it, he was able to recite the lyrics, but had never thought much about their ...read more

    God At The Market Place

    Contributed by Martin Ellgar on Nov 1, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,174 views

    A perspective on Mark 7: 1-23. When a trivial matter becomes a big issue more than likely we are following the ‘traditions of men’. Our focus therefore is on the wrong thing because we have forgotten God and do not have God’s love in our hearts.

    Mark 7: 1-23 God At The Market Place The closing of chapter 6 is also the introduction to chapter 7 and our Gospel text. In which Jesus and his disciples have crossed Lake Galilee to the land at Gennesaret on the north-western bank of the lake. Gennesaret was a small, but a very fertile plain rich ...read more

    Sometimes I feel more like a volunteer fire fighter than a pastor. We spend much of our time outing unnecessary fires created by gossip. Thank You Robert Mckenzie from "Good Shepherd Baptist Church" for the original messsag

    We used to have an award that we gave out each month at the VW dealer, where I worked as shop foreman. It was called the “Crybaby” award and it was a baby’s pacifier mounted on a piece of wood. We gave it to the technician that griped and complained the most, each month. ...read more

    HoHum: Isn't this a beautiful apple? The skin is so red and shiny. Just look how smooth it is. It has a beautiful shape and I don't see any spots that look like the bugs or worms have eaten into it. Yes, this is a really good apple.

    A Harsh Indictment Series

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Jul 30, 2014
     | 4,529 views

    Living for Christ means that we live FOR Him, in everything we do. Sitting in judgment of others, hoping to prove ourselves superior, is SINFUL, and is exactly what the Pharisees thought they could do to Jesus ... and He calls them on it.

    A Harsh Indictment Mark 7:1-7, Isaiah 29:13, Joshua 24:15 Introduction - Jesus is demonstrated in this book as a “servant” -- Key verse: Mark 10:45, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” ...read more

    The Danger Of Displacement Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,346 views

    Because we want others to approve of us, we feel a pressure to displace some of God’s commands with peer group rules or trends.

    The Danger of Displacement (Mark 7:1-13) 1. One of my favorite Jewish jokes (I have told before) is the following: 2. A Jewish congregation was arguing over whether one should stand or sit during the Shema Yisrael. Half of the congregation said one should sit, the other half insisted one should ...read more

    The Secret To Purity Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 23, 2015
     | 7,863 views

    We need to filter out those things that will affect our thinking and then we need to make sure we test our thoughts and motives against the highest demands of the Kingdom, that is, inner purity and godly love.

    A sermon on breaking through the pretense of Christian culture to remain relevant to the culture we are trying to reach with the gospel.

    INTRO: ƒ{ In this series I've been working hard to come against a modern day interpretation of Christianity ƒ{ IT IS NOT Christian Theology Theology = The study of God and the truthfulness of religion in general ƒ{ But it is Christian Mythology Mythology = a set of stories, traditions or ...read more

     | 12,506 views

    In Mark 7 Jesus confronts the Pharisees and Scribes who were hiding behind Man-made rules. What do you hide behind? Thankfully, God doesn’t hide from you.

    Mark 7:1-13 Anne and I were blessed to go on vacation a couple of weeks ago. We looked forward to it, but we were a little nervous about how Killian would do on the long flights. For a 7 month old baby, I think he did great. The last leg of the journey was a little much for him though and he ...read more
