Mark pt. 9: Clean Hands

The story we read in Mark chapter 7 is one of religious rules trumping a real relationship with Jesus. The Pharisees pick an argument with Jesus over how to properly wash hands, and Jesus comes back with this statement: "You bind heavy burdens on people who can't carry them." Through this interaction we learn a truth that's still vital to the Church today: Religion washes hands, Jesus washes hearts. Are you choosing religious rules over a relationship with Jesus? Surrender to him today.

Mark

This fall we're diving into the gospel of Mark—taking a look at how Jesus's vision of discipleship is still applicable (and needed!) in our lives today. The idea of discipleship or mentorship isn't what it used to be. We falsely believe we have to do life all on our own with no help from those who are a few steps ahead of us. But that's just not true! God designed us to be discipled and to disciple, just look at his own 12 closest friends! This fall we'll walk through the book of Mark together, taking an honest look at how we can become better disciples, and in turn, disciple those in our circle of influence.
