The Heart of the Matter
Mark 7:1-23 points us to a really hard reality—namely, that it is entirely possible to have all of the outward trappings of religion, to have others commend you for your spiritual example, and for your life to be going well, and yet still lack a genuine love for God and desire to do His will. Like the religious leaders of Jesus’ day, we too are quite capable of hypocrisy and of going through the motions of religion externally, while being completely blind to our condition, prioritizing the wrong things, and being out of step with God internally.
How can we avoid falling into this dangerous trap? Join us for this week’s message from the Gospel of Mark.

This Week's Message: "Freedom from Evil" by Pastor Dan Stockum
Demon possession. Not something that the Western world talks about very often outside of horror films. But what if the many other cultures who recognize the existence of such evil have picked up on something that we have missed? What would we need to know about it? How would we recognize it? And how could we get free? This week, we study the longest passage in Scripture describing a demon possession and the liberation that Jesus brings.
