Love is not a Checklist: Mark 7:1-23

"Love God first, love others second. But love them both with all your heart. ❤️

In today's sermon, we explored how Jesus challenged the religious traditions of His day that had become more important than God's actual commands. He reminds us that it's not about following a checklist of rituals, but about the condition of our hearts.

Key takeaways:
• Traditions can be good, but they should never supersede God's Word
• It's not what goes into us, but what comes out of us that truly matters
• Love God with everything you have, then love others as yourself
• Share the truth of the Gospel with compassion, not compromise

Remember, we're called to make disciples, not just make people comfortable. The Gospel may offend, but it also saves. Let's love God, love others, and share His truth boldly yet humbly.

Join us next Sunday as we continue our journey through the Gospel of Mark!
