What truly makes us unclean before God? Is it what we eat, drink, watch, or listen to? Or is there something deeper at work? In this eye-opening exploration in Mark chapter 7, we uncover Jesus' revolutionary teaching about what actually defiles a person.
"From within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts..." With these words, Jesus locates the true source of our sin problem. Our challenge isn't managing external temptations but addressing our internal desires. This teaching cuts straight through both legalism (setting up rules to prevent sin) and license (letting ourselves sin freely). The solution isn't more rules or fewer rules—it's transformed hearts.
What might change in our lives if we stopped focusing on external behaviors and instead sought heart transformation? How would our relationships, churches, and communities look different if we approached Jesus with the persistent humility of the Syrophoenician woman? Listen now and discover the liberating truth that what we need isn't more rules but new hearts.
