Mark 7:1-23
I hope you have your bibles, open them up to Mark chapter 7. We're going through the book of Mark, verse by verse, chapter by chapter, and I don't know about you, but I'm learning a ton. I really am, I'm enjoying it. How many of you have been reading the gospel of Mark during the week, and just preparing your heart and mind?

These were the bigwigs, these were the big shots, these were the people leading the whole religion of the people of Israel. And so Jesus says to them, '''Well did Isaiah prophesy...''' that word ''well'' means ''precisely,'' or ''beautifully,'' or ''exactly.'' Now, at this point, they're probably thinking, ''What did Isaiah say about us? And then Jesus lowers the boom.
'''[Perfectly, beautifully precisely] did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: ''This people honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me, and in vain they worship Me.''''' (Mark 7:6-7a) Wh ...
