Mark 7 - Have a Clean Soul

Understanding Tradition and Commandments | Mark 7 Explained

In this episode, I dive into Mark 7 to discuss the role of tradition in our commandments. We explore the scene where the Pharisees and scribes challenge Jesus over the washing of hands and contrast their rules with God's true commandments. I'll explain how Jesus uses this moment to teach about the inner purity of the heart versus external rituals. We also cover the story of a woman of great faith in Tyre and Sidon and a miraculous healing of a deaf and mute man. Join me as we slow roll through the Bible, one chapter at a time, and reflect on what truly makes us pure in the eyes of God.
