The King Arrives: And He Understands The Problem
Mark 7:1-23

Have you ever had a great solution that did not fix the situation, because the solution did not understand the real problem? You realize that your solution "missed the mark" or did not really "get to the root of the problem." We all experience the need for good medical diagnosis of our sickness before our doctor can administer the healing treatment. As it turns out, Jesus both correctly understands the root problem that plagues our life and is Himself the solution that we need.

The Heart of the Matter
Mark 7:1-23

We can do lots of things that look good and right on the outside while our hearts are in a completely different place.  Jesus' interactions with the religious leaders will highlight this point this week and we will be reminded that He has come to give us a new heart and in turn change our lives.

Hands, Heart, Hope
Mark 7:1-23

This Sunday, we continue our series titled, "Who's this Guy?" where we will be working our way chapter by chapter through the Gospel of Mark.  Each week, we will explore Mark's portrayal of Jesus as the Messiah King. This week, we consider Mark 7, where Jesus has another clash with the Pharisees and teachers of the law.  Jesus shifts the conversation from ritual impurity to the issue of the human heart.  We will explore how these Old Testament purity laws and traditions overlap with our modern world in order to remember that our only hope for our impure hearts is Jesus himself.   Join us as we continue to explore Mark's gospel.
