What Is More Important, Tradition or Truth? 09-06-26

In Mark 7:1–13, Jesus confronts the Pharisees for elevating human traditions above God’s Word. Their concern with ceremonial washing exposed a religion focused on outward appearances while their hearts remained far from God. Through the example of Corban, Jesus reveals how religious practices can even become excuses for disobeying clear biblical commands. This sermon challenges believers to examine every tradition, preference, and spiritual practice under the authority of Scripture, reject religious hypocrisy, and pursue worship that flows from a heart of genuine love and obedience to God.
