Having addressed the root problem of authority, Jesus does not address where defilement and impurity come from. Like authority, this is a matter of the heart.

26: Matters of the Heart
Merlin Miller continues the Gospel of Mark series with this 26th message titled Matters of the Heart and taken from Mark 7:1-13.

23: Who is Jesus?
Merlin Miller continues the Gospel of Mark series, with this 23rd sermon taken from Mark 6:14-29 and entitled Who is Jesus? Mark seems to interrupt his own story of the sending out of the apostles by recounting how the death of John the Baptist had come about. But from the text we see that everyone, all the way up to the "king", was asking the question "who is Jesus?"
22: Sent Out
Merlin Miller continues the Gospel of Mark series, with this 22nd sermon taken from Mark 6:6-13 and entitled Sent Out. Jesus faced rejection, but it did not cause him to walk away, instead we see him not only continue his own ministry, but he also sent out his disciples on their own missions of proclamation and demonstrations of God's power. The central question here revolves around authority.
21: Jesus Rejected
Merlin Miller continues the Gospel of Mark series, with this 21st sermon taken from Mark 6:1-6 and entitled Jesus Rejected. Despite Jesus' demonstration of his great power, when he comes to his own hometown, he is rejected by them. Rather than stand in accusation against those who rejected Jesus, we should examine how their rejection illuminates the humanity, and tendency to reject Jesus, that is present in all of us.
20: Power Over Death
Merlin Miller returns to the Gospel of Mark series, with this 20th sermon taken from Mark 5:35-43 and entitled Power over death. Jesus has demonstrated his power over the wind and the waves, over demons and spiritual powers, and now demonstrates his power over sickness and even death. This is part 2 of 2 as Mark relates 2 intertwined stories of healing.
Created in His Image
Realizing that man was created in His image, we as believers should feel obligated to reflect God to others. God chose us to reflect Him, represent Him, and have a relationship with Him so that we can show the world the value of having a personal relationship with God the Father through Jesus, God the Son. Our purpose in life is to Glorify God and enjoy Him forever. This instills value and worth to every living person that is alive on God's created earth.
