How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of hosts! My soul longs, indeed it faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God...Happy are those who live in your house, ever singing your praise. Psalm 84:1-2, 4

At first, in the Gospel story from Mark 7, it appears Jesus is against washing hands before one eats.  Not so.  What Jesus was saying to the leaders of his day was sometimes we can place religious habits and rituals ahead of what is in a person's heart.

Is our life of faith only about trying to always do the right thing?  Or is it more than that?  Listen to Pastor Russ' sermon entitled "Creeds or Deeds?"
