  some

  scholars

  who

  Jerusalem,

  gathered

  around

  him.
• 1:12
  They

  noticed

  that

  some

  of

  his

  Jews

  in

  general
• 1:21
  in

  with

  an

  especially

  vigorous

  scrubbing

  they

  had

  just

  come

  from
• 1:32
  the

  market,
• 1:32
  to

  say
• 1:33
  nothing
• 1:33
  of

  the

  scourings
• 1:34
  they'd

  The

  Pharisees
• 1:39
  and

  religion
• 1:40
  scholars
• 1:40
  asked,

  why
• 1:41
  do
• 1:41
  your
• 1:41
  disciples
• 1:42
  brush
• 1:43
  off
• 1:43
  the
• 1:43
  rules,
• 1:44
  showing
• 1:44
  up
• 1:44
  at
• 1:44
  meals
• 1:45
  without
• 1:45
  washing
• 1:45
  their
• 1:45
  hands?
• 1:47
  And
• 1:47
  Jesus
• 1:47
  answered,
• 1:48
  isaiah
• 1:49
  was
• 1:49
  right
• 1:49
  about
• 1:50
  frauds
• 1:50
  like
• 1:50
  you
• 1:50
  hit
• 1:51
  the
• 1:51
  bullseye.
• 1:51
  In
• 1:52
  fact,
• 1:52
  these
• 1:53
  people
• 1:53
  make
• 1:53
  a
• 1:54
  big
• 1:54
  show
• 1:55
  of
• 1:55
  saying
• 1:55
  the
• 1:55
  right
• 1:56
  thing,
• 1:56
  but
• 1:56
  their
• 1:56
  heart
• 1:57
  isn't
• 1:57
  in
• 1:57
  it.
• 1:58
  They
• 1:59
  act
• 1:59
  like
• 1:59
  they're
• 1:59
  worshiping
• 2:00
  me,
• 2:00
  but
• 2:00
  they
• 2:00
  don't
• 2:01
  mean
• 2:01
  it.
• 2:01
  They,
• 2:02
  excuse
• 2:03
  me,
• 2:03
  as
• 2:03
  a
• 2:03
  cover
• 2:04
  for
• 2:05
  teaching
• 2:05
  whatever
• 2:05
  suits
• 2:06
  their
• 2:06
  fancy,
• 2:07
  ditching
• 2:07
  God's
• 2:08
  command
• 2:09
  and
• 2:09
  taking
• 2:09
  up
• 2:10
  the

  latest

  fads.
• 2:13
  Well,
• 2:13
  my
• 2:13
  good
• 2:14
  people,
• 2:14
  my
• 2:14
  friends,
• 2:15
  thanks
• 2:15
  for
• 2:16
  being
• 2:16
  with
• 2:16
  me
• 2:16
  on
• 2:16
  this
• 2:17
  passage
• 2:17
  of
• 2:17
  scripture
• 2:18
  as
• 2:18
  we
• 2:18
  come
• 2:18
  together
• 2:18
  here
• 2:19
  on

  Daily

  Bible

  Refresh.
• 2:20
  Our
• 2:20
  reading
• 2:21
  is
• 2:21
  From
• 2:21
  Gospel
• 2:22
  Mark
• 2:23
  7:1:8
• 2:24
  from
• 2:24
  the
• 2:24
  Message.
• 2:25
  And
• 2:25
  the
• 2:25
  Pharisees
• 2:26
  here
• 2:26
  kind
• 2:26
  of
• 2:26
  confront
• 2:27
  Jesus
• 2:27
  and
• 2:27
  his
• 2:28
  disciples
• 2:29
  because
• 2:29
  they
• 2:29
  weren't
• 2:29
  following
• 2:29
  the
• 2:30
  ritual
• 2:30
  hand
• 2:31
  washing
• 2:32
  of
• 2:32
  the
• 2:32
  day.
• 2:33
  And
• 2:33
  Jesus
• 2:34
  answers
• 2:34
  with
• 2:35
  a
• 2:35
  quote.
• 2:35
  He
• 2:36
  quotes
• 2:36
  Isaiah,
• 2:38
  these
• 2:38
  people
• 2:38
  make
• 2:38
  a
• 2:39
  big
• 2:39
  show,
• 2:39
  but
• 2:39
  their
• 2:39
  heart
• 2:40
  isn't
• 2:40
  in
• 2:40
  it.
• 2:41
  And
• 2:41
  that's
• 2:41
  the
• 2:41
  key
• 2:42
  of
• 2:42
  what
• 2:42
  we're
• 2:42
  gonna
• 2:43
  talk
• 2:43
  about
• 2:43
  today.
• 2:44
  He's
• 2:44
  pushing
• 2:44
  us
• 2:45
  to
• 2:45
  ask
• 2:45
  what
• 2:46
  matters
• 2:46
  more,
• 2:47
  performing
• 2:47
  religion
• 2:48
  or
• 2:49
  practicing
• 2:49
  love?
• 2:50
  So
• 2:50
  let's
• 2:50
  get
• 2:50
  into
• 2:51
  some
• 2:51
  points
• 2:51
  to
• 2:51
  ponder
• 2:52
  from
• 2:52
  the
• 2:52
  progressive
• 2:53
  point
• 2:53
  of
• 2:54
  view.
• 2:54
  The
• 2:55
  first
• 2:55
  is
• 2:56
  that
• 2:56
  Jesus
• 2:56
  centers
• 2:57
  the
• 2:57
  heart
• 2:58
  over
• 2:59
  performances.
• 3:00
  See,
• 3:01
  Mark
• 3:01
  7
• 3:02
  isn't
• 3:02
  really
• 3:02
  about
• 3:02
  hygiene,
• 3:03
  it's
• 3:03
  hygiene
• 3:04
  is
• 3:04
  necessary.
• 3:04
  In
• 3:04
  fact,
• 3:05
  the
• 3:06
  Judaic
• 3:07
  laws
• 3:07
  regarding
• 3:07
  hand
• 3:07
  washing
• 3:08
  were
• 3:09
  a
• 3:09
  very
• 3:09
  important
• 3:09
  process
• 3:10
  of
• 3:11
  cleanness,
• 3:12
  of
• 3:12
  cleanliness
• 3:12
  and
• 3:13
  hygiene
• 3:13
  in
• 3:13
  their
• 3:14
  day
• 3:14
  for
• 3:15
  health
• 3:15
  reasons,
• 3:15
  among
• 3:16
  many
• 3:16
  others.
• 3:17
  But
• 3:18
  this
• 3:18
  Here
• 3:18
  in
• 3:19
  Mark
• 3:19
  7
• 3:19
  isn't
• 3:20
  about
• 3:20
  hygiene,
• 3:20
  it's
• 3:20
  about
• 3:21
  hierarchy.
• 3:23
  Ritual
• 3:23
  can
• 3:23
  be
• 3:24
  beautiful,
• 3:24
  but
• 3:24
  when
• 3:24
  the
• 3:25
  rules
• 3:26
  become
• 3:26
  gatekeepers,
• 3:27
  they
• 3:28
  keep
• 3:28
  people
• 3:28
  out.
• 3:29
  And
• 3:29
  Jesus
• 3:30
  names
• 3:30
  it.
• 3:31
  He
• 3:31
  says,
• 3:31
  you're
• 3:32
  ditching
• 3:32
  God's
• 3:33
  command
• 3:33
  to
• 3:34
  take
• 3:34
  up
• 3:34
  the
• 3:34
  latest
• 3:35
  fads.
• 3:36
  Now
• 3:36
  progressive
• 3:37
  faith
• 3:37
  puts
• 3:37
  compassion
• 3:38
  and
• 3:38
  justice
• 3:39
  at
• 3:39
  the
• 3:40
  core.
• 3:40
  We
• 3:41
  measure
• 3:41
  our
• 3:41
  faith
• 3:42
  not
• 3:42
  by
• 3:42
  perfect
• 3:43
  rituals,
• 3:44
  but
• 3:44
  by
• 3:44
  whether
• 3:44
  the
• 3:45
  hungry
• 3:45
  are
• 3:45
  fed,
• 3:46
  the
• 3:46
  sick
• 3:47
  are
• 3:47
  cared
• 3:47
  for,
• 3:47
  the
• 3:48
  marginalized
• 3:48
  are
• 3:48
  welcomed,
• 3:49
  and
• 3:50
  truth
• 3:50
  is
• 3:50
  practiced
• 3:51
  with
• 3:51
  mercy.
• 3:52
  If
• 3:52
  tradition
• 3:53
  harms
• 3:54
  people
• 3:54
  or
• 3:54
  hides
• 3:54
  power,
• 3:55
  it's
• 3:55
  time
• 3:56
  to
• 3:56
  re
• 3:56
  examine
• 3:56
  it.
• 3:58
  Second
• 3:59
  point
• 3:59
  to
• 3:59
  ponder
• 4:01
  Tradition
• 4:01
  is
• 4:01
  a
• 4:02
  tool,
• 4:03
  not
• 4:04
  the
• 4:04
  target.
• 4:05
  Jesus
• 4:06
  doesn't
• 4:06
  hate
• 4:07
  tradition,
• 4:08
  far
• 4:08
  from
• 4:09
  it.
• 4:09
  He
• 4:09
  hates
• 4:10
  when
• 4:10
  tradition
• 4:11
  eclipses
• 4:12
  love
• 4:15
  commands
• 4:15
  aim
• 4:15
  at
• 4:16
  dignity
• 4:16
  and
• 4:16
  neighbors
• 4:17
  care.
• 4:18
  When
• 4:18
  our
• 4:18
  practices
• 4:19
  elevate
• 4:20
  image
• 4:20
  over
• 4:21
  integrity,
• 4:22
  we
• 4:22
  lose
• 4:22
  the
• 4:22
  plot.
• 4:24
  In
• 4:24
  real
• 4:24
  life,
• 4:25
  churches
• 4:25
  can
• 4:25
  cling
• 4:26
  to
• 4:26
  how
• 4:26
  we've
• 4:27
  always
• 4:27
  done
• 4:27
  it
• 4:28
  while
• 4:28
  ignoring
• 4:29
  issues
• 4:30
  of
• 4:30
  accessibility,
• 4:32
  equity
• 4:33
  or
• 4:33
  inclusion.
• 4:34
  The
• 4:35
  wisdom
• 4:35
  of
• 4:35
  this
• 4:35
  passage
• 4:36
  asks,
• 4:37
  does
• 4:37
  this
• 4:38
  habit
• 4:39
  help
• 4:39
  us

  love?
• 4:42
  If
• 4:42
  the
• 4:42
  answer
• 4:42
  is
• 4:43
  no,
• 4:43
  Jesus
• 4:44
  invites
• 4:45
  us
• 4:45
  to
• 4:45
  reform,
• 4:46
  relook,
• 4:47
  reframe,
• 4:49
  so
• 4:49
  that
• 4:49
  the
• 4:49
  command
• 4:49
  to
• 4:50
  love
• 4:50
  God
• 4:50
  and
• 4:50
  neighbor
• 4:51
  isn't
• 4:51
  replaced
• 4:53
  by

  performance
• 4:54
  purity.
• 4:56
  A
• 4:57
  third

  to
• 4:57
  ponder
• 4:59
  Hypocrisy
• 5:00
  wounds,
• 5:01
  authenticity
• 5:02
  heals.
• 5:03
  Isaiah's
• 5:04
  critique
• 5:04
  stings
• 5:05
  because
• 5:06
  performative
• 5:06
  religion
• 5:07
  looks
• 5:08
  holy
• 5:08
  while
• 5:08
  leaving
• 5:09
  people
• 5:09
  harmed.
• 5:11
  Authentic
• 5:11
  faith
• 5:12
  is
• 5:12
  consistent,
• 5:13
  gentle,
• 5:14
  truthful,
• 5:15
  merciful.
• 5:17
  In

  my

  cancer
• 5:19
  impacted

  people
• 5:20
  podcast
• 5:21
  community,
• 5:21
  the
• 5:22
  holiest
• 5:22
  moments
• 5:22
  aren't
• 5:23
  always
• 5:23
  eloquent.
• 5:25
  They're
• 5:25
  practical.
• 5:27
  Have
• 5:27
  you
• 5:28
  visited
• 5:28
  someone?
• 5:29
  Have
• 5:29
  you
• 5:29
  given
• 5:29
  somebody
• 5:30
  a
• 5:30
  ride
• 5:30
  to
• 5:30
  treatment?
• 5:32
  Some

  meals
• 5:33
  been

  delivered?
• 5:34
  Have
• 5:34
  you
• 5:35
  laughed
• 5:35
  with
• 5:35
  somebody
• 5:36
  on
• 5:36
  a
• 5:36
  hard
• 5:36
  day?
• 5:37
  That's
• 5:38
  what
• 5:38
  it
• 5:38
  looks
• 5:38
  like
• 5:39
  when
• 5:39
  your
• 5:39
  heart
• 5:39
  is
• 5:40
  in
• 5:40
  it.
• 5:41
  Jesus
• 5:41
  is
• 5:42
  not
• 5:42
  anti
• 5:42
  awash.
• 5:44
  He's
• 5:44
  pro
• 5:45
  love.
• 5:46
  The
• 5:46
  question
• 5:46
  is
• 5:47
  whether
• 5:47
  our
• 5:47
  practices
• 5:48
  serve
• 5:48
  people
• 5:49
  or
• 5:49
  serve
• 5:50
  our

  image.
• 5:52
  Here's
• 5:52
  an
• 5:53
  action
• 5:53
  step
• 5:53
  for
• 5:53
  this
• 5:53
  week.
• 5:55
  A
• 5:55
  heart
• 5:56
  first
• 5:57
  swap
• 5:59
  that
• 5:59
  is
• 5:59
  identify
• 6:00
  one
• 6:00
  religious
• 6:01
  or
• 6:02
  maybe
• 6:02
  a
• 6:02
  personal
• 6:02
  tradition
• 6:04
  that
• 6:04
  prioritizes
• 6:05
  appearance
• 6:06
  over
• 6:06
  compassion.
• 6:08
  Strict
• 6:09
  etiquette
• 6:09
  that
• 6:09
  excludes
• 6:10
  purity,
• 6:11
  talk
• 6:11
  that
• 6:11
  shames
• 6:12
  policies
• 6:13
  that
• 6:13
  make
• 6:13
  access
• 6:14
  harder
• 6:15
  and
• 6:15
  swap
• 6:16
  it
• 6:16
  for
• 6:16
  a
• 6:16
  concrete
• 6:17
  act
• 6:17
  of
• 6:17
  mercy.
• 6:19
  Invite
• 6:20
  someone
• 6:20
  who's
• 6:20
  been
• 6:21
  sidelined
• 6:21
  in
• 6:22
  some
• 6:22
  way
• 6:22
  or
• 6:22
  other.
• 6:22
  Make
• 6:22
  space
• 6:23
  for
• 6:23
  them
• 6:23
  in
• 6:23
  your
• 6:23
  life.
• 6:25
  Deliver

  Keep

  and

  repeatable.
• 6:42
  Let

  love,
• 6:43
  not
• 6:44
  optics
• 6:46
  set
• 6:46
  the

  standard.
• 6:48
  We're

  going

  God

  heart,

  we

  confess
• 7:07
  how

  easy
• 7:08
  it

  is

  to

  polish

  the

  outside
• 7:09
  and

  Teach
