What is good? We each have our own ideas of what’s good and what’s bad, and it’s often where these differences collide that we run into problems.

In this week’s sermon, we discover that true goodness isn’t about our actions or outward appearances. In Mark 7, Jesus teaches his disciples that goodness doesn’t come from what’s external but from what’s inside. It’s a matter of the heart. To cultivate goodness within us and in the world around us, we need to shift our focus from outward behaviors to the inner condition of our hearts. When we open up about our struggles and invite God to heal and transform us, His love becomes the source of goodness in our lives.
