On Mark 7:1-30
Big Idea: We need to remember that Jesus died to give us a salvation that we did not deserve and use the Word of God to teach us of the mercy and love this displays so that our gratitude for this will aid us in growing in godliness and displaying this to those around us.
Outline:
• We need to listen to and understand the Word of God so that we can genuinely know God rather than relying on the traditions of others.
• All that is unclean to God comes from our hearts, so we need forgiveness by Jesus’ death and resurrection and the Spirit to work in us to make us godly.
• Even the leftovers from what Jesus provides for his people are more than enough to provide for all who have need so we should respond in faith, proclaiming the Gospel even among those we do not expect to respond.
