    The heart of our problems are deeper than superficial behaviors. Before we can change, we need our hearts to be changed.

    Why do people treat each other so badly? Why do spouses break their wedding vows? Why do people act out in violence and hatred toward others? Why do racism and hate crimes still exist in our world? Why are people filled with greed? Why do we act with treachery and deception toward each other? The ...read more

    When we follow Jesus, he will lead us beyond our comfort zone with people, especially people we are not naturally drawn to.

    Note: This sermon was introduced with a scene from "Traveling Light" All of us have limits and boundaries that make us uncomfortable if we go beyond them. I was reminded of this back in November when my oldest son and I went to the Promise Keepers "Passage" event at the Anaheim Pond. At one point ...read more

    Jesus leaves Capernaum and travels north forty or fifty miles to the borders of Tyre and Sidon which is modern Lebanon. It is here that we see a woman coming to Jesus to ask help for her daughter. She asked Jesus to cast a demon out of her daughter.

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: Mamie Adams always went to a branch post office in her town because the postal employees there were friendly. She went there to buy stamps just before Christmas one year and the lines were particularly long. Someone pointed out that there was no need to wait in line ...read more

    If one word, innocently misspoken, can cost millions, think of how much damage malicious words can cause. They can ruin a person’s reputation and destroy the closest relationships

    It is one thing to clean your hands and quite another to clean your heart. The first you can do, but the latter only God can do; if we will only give him a chance!

    Text: Mark 7: 1-8, 14-15, 21-23 (NIV) 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.

    Woe to us if we allow anything to come between us and the Gospel!

    Mark 7:1-23 "Nothing but Jesus and the Cross" As the Pharisees and some of the teachers of the law watch the healing miracles of Jesus take place, they decide that they have to criticize Jesus openly in order to stop Him. Will their criticism be about the healing itself? No. Surrounded as they are ...read more

    How a Syrophoenician Woman’s faith overcomes barriers.

    Mark 7:24-37 Today I thought I’d take a challenging text and work with you on it. Now it may be perfectly clear to many of you, but I know for at least few it is not. It was one of the questions which came up in the adult Sunday School class last year, and today it is one of our lectionary ...read more

    What's Inside?

    based on 10 ratings
     | 7,183 views

    In a culture obsessed with diets it seems that everyone’s obsessed with what goes inside because it effects how we look on the outside. The Pharisees weren’t much different. But Jesus said it’s what’s on the inside that counts!

    What’s Inside? Mark 7:1-8; 14-23 Move 1 – Swallowed Penny Story - I’ll never forget it. I might have been eight years old when one day my parents told us to sit still while they ran into the store to grab something. The same guidelines always applied when we were told to remain in the van: we were ...read more

    A sermon on racial tolerance and love for all humankind.

    Mark 7:24-37 "There are No Foreigners in God’s Sight" We humans are a strange breed. Why on earth do we feel as if we have to discriminate between others based on where the others were born, or where they live, or what color their skin is, or if they are rich or poor, a Southerner or a Yankee, ...read more

     | 10,550 views

    The secret of God’s blessings is to lie low at the feet of Jesus and cry our for mercy! If all you ask for is crumbs off the table, how can God refuse?

    Friends if you listened carefully to the gospel story, it appears as though Jesus was not very inclined to heal the daughter of the Syro-Phoenician woman who came begging him for a miracle. It also seemed as though Jesus had enough and just wanted to get away because scripture tells us that he ...read more

    This is a message on bringing all your hurt and pain to Jesus; it was originally preached in preparation for Holy Communion.

    COME AND GO!--MARK 7:24-30 --by R. David Reynolds I do not know for certain who this Syrophoenician woman was, but somehow I picture her as a single parent with a real problem. Her encounter with Jesus is told here by Mark and by Matthew in Chapter fifteen of his Gospel. The fact that the ...read more
