Tradition, Defilement, Miracles

Summary

Elder Dan Sammons preaches on the dangers of elevating human traditions above the commandments of God, using Mark 7 to illustrate how the Pharisees prioritized ritual cleanliness over true spiritual purity. He emphasizes that defilement comes from within the heart, not external practices, and warns against vain worship based on human traditions rather than God's Word. The sermon also highlights the importance of approaching Jesus with humility and encourages believers to verify teachings against Scripture with Berean skepticism.
