Pastor Marc Sharp continues with Part 21 of the current series that is an epic journey through the New Testament Gospel of Mark, verse by verse. The book of Mark was most likely the first one written, and is generally attributed to John Mark, a close associate of Peter, and also of Paul and Barnabas. The Gospel of Mark is all about Jesus and the good news (Gospel) of the kingdom of God. Who was Jesus really, and why exactly did he come? Last week we wrapped up Mark 6 with the disciples witnessing Jesus walk on water, and how they failed to recognize the son of God. In this message, we begin chapter 7, where Jesus and the disciples have crossed the sea and all the people in the surrounding area have spread the news and gathered to them. Among those gathered are some of the Pharisees, who question the disciples' eating practices. But is correct tradition really the way to gain good standing before God?
