Greetings everyone, and may mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you. We will be in Mark 7 today. How many of us follow traditions? I would say most of us do in some capacity. Our church has a set structure of worship. 2 songs, announcements, greeting, more songs, preaching, and dismissal. We do things a certain way not because it’s in the Bible, but because it simplifies things. But when we take these traditions and preach them as commands from God, that’s a problem. We can disagree on how things are done, but if God didn’t say it, it’s wrong to say that He did. Our priorities and focus have shifted to things that aren’t relevant to the Gospel. Follow Jesus’ examples, and do the things that bring people to Jesus instead of things that push people away.

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28 19-20
