The Book of Mark - Part 7, A Religious Spirit

Travis Gibson - May 31, 2026

Can you be active in church but still miss the heart of God? In this message from Mark 3, Jesus confronts a religious spirit that values rules over people and appearances over transformation. Through the healing of a man with a shriveled hand, we discover how Jesus sees beyond labels, exposes hidden pain, and invites us into a faith that changes us from the inside out.
