Join us for a thought-provoking exploration of traditions, expectations, and the question of who Jesus is to you. Today, we delve into the book of Mark, uncovering the tension between long-held customs and genuine faith. Discover how Jesus challenges the religious leaders of his time by prioritizing God’s commandments over human traditions. Witness the powerful encounters with a Gentile woman and a man with a speech impediment, illustrating that faith and willingness to follow Jesus supersede status or background. Reflect on what we might hold too tightly in our lives and what it means to truly submit to Jesus’ transformative plan. Through engaging stories and real-life applications, we are encouraged to examine our hearts, embrace humility, and prioritize God’s will above all else. How do we respond to Jesus’ call in our own lives today?
