The Real Source Of Our Sin - 09/13/26

In Mark 7:14–23, Jesus teaches that sin and spiritual defilement do not come from food, unwashed hands, or outside circumstances, but from the human heart. While religious people may focus on outward appearances, traditions, and rule-keeping, Jesus looks beneath our behavior to the sinful desires and attitudes that produce our words and actions. This message challenges us to stop blaming others, examine what our reactions reveal, confess our sin, and depend on Christ to transform us from the inside out. Jesus did not come merely to improve our behavior; He came to cleanse us and give us new hearts.
