Man-made Religion

Mike Sullivan

Mark 7:1-23

Ritualistic, man-made rule following does nothing to improve our righteousness before God because it does not address our most pressing problem.  Our fallen, sinful nature must be addressed not by outward demonstrations but by an inward renewing of our heart that only Jesus can bring about.

Do You Want to Get Well?

James Rochford

John 5:1-24

The religious mentality and the victim mentality share the same traits of being judgmental, angry, bitter self-absorbed and ultimately harmful.  Do you want to keep blame-shifting or do you want to get well?
