It’s easy to focus on looking “clean” on the outside while hiding the mess within.
In Mark 7, the religious leaders had perfected their outward rituals, but Jesus challenged them to look deeper. He reminded them—and us—that God isn’t looking for polished performances or appearances. He looks at the heart.
True freedom doesn’t come from pretending we have it all together. It comes when we stop masking our mess and bring it honestly to the One who can heal and transform us.
Join us this Sunday for “Unmasking Our Mess,” part of our Jesus Meets Our Mess sermon series.
Come as you are. There’s no need to pretend.
Everyone is welcome!
