Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost

September 1, 2024 • Chaplain Matthew Dobyns • James 1:17–27, Psalm 15, Mark 7:1–8, Mark 7:14–15, Mark 7:21–23

Jesus protests against human customs being given the weight of divine law while the essence of God's law is ignored. True uncleanness comes not from external things but from the intentions of the human heart.
