The Thirtieth | The Message | 02.09.18

Every story has a pivotal moment when everything changes. The story of history, the Bible and even Mark’s gospel features many such moments – but often is a selected few that really stand out and make a critical impression which changes everything. Jesus breaks into a world of religion, performance and pretence. He challenges the reasons and motives behind the status quo. Things that we used to help us so often end up hindering or hiding the original purpose. Church history, and our own personal histories, are dominated by the damaging impact of a religious mindset. Jesus came and stayed to change everything. Text: Mark 7:1-23
