Come To The Lord With Authentic Worship

This sermon was very troublesome for me.
It was about Traditions!

The sermon came from Mark 7:1-8
Clean and Unclean
This is my paraphrase:
Jesus and some of his disciples were invited to eat with some Pharisees.
The Pharisees saw them eating with unwashed hands and it offended them.
The Pharisees only eat after ceremoniously washing their hands. They do this as a tradition to their elders. They asked Jesus why he & his disciples don't wash before eating?!? Jesus called them hypocrites! He told them that they had gone away from God's commands & held on to traditions of man.

I was thinking about all the traditions in our family, on both sides.
Do we have any traditions that make hypocrites out of us!?!

Bro. Darryl explained two kinds of Hypocrisy:
1) Right Words But Wrong Attitude
Looking okay on the outside but not okay on the inside.
2)They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.

We also looked at John 4:24
God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.

Worship
1) Must be Genuine
2) Must be Individual
3) Must be Realistic

And Matthew 22:37-39
37 "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself."
