Sermon 7.21.24

The Good News: Transformation!

Luke Stehr

Mark 7:1-23

"These people honor me with their lips bur their hearts are from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules." Jesus quotes Isaiah 29:13.

Jesus is calling you and me to have a transformed heart, not just clean hands.

Jesus isn't after our blind obedience to the traditions that the church has made; he's chasing after the transformation of our hearts so that we become like him.

Jesus is calling you to have a transformed heart, not just clean hands.

Mark 5:1-20 NIV

“People today are more likely to be controlled by a legion of cravings, captivations, and destructive impulses than by a legion of demons.” – David Garland

“[Legion] may express the man’s sense of being possessed by an aggregate of uncoordinated impulses and evil forces which have so impaired his ego… it is a pathetic admission of the loss of all sense of identity.” – William Lane

Digging for Discipleship

Mark 4:1-20

If you want to grow higher, dig deeper.

Digging for discipleship looks like pushing. It is pushing through rocky seasons of life that challenge our faith.

Digging for discipleship looks like listening. It is taking time to listen to Jesus and grasp who he really is.

Digging for discipleship looks like trading. It is trading worldly values for kingdom values.

Mark 4:18-19
