Jesus affirms - Matthes 15:15-21

3. OBEY - vv. 1 - 2

2) Quietly (1 Timothy 4:11-12)

3) By Participating

4) Conditionally (Acts 4:19-20) - our ultimate authority is God

4. PROCLAIM

Four ways we proclaim the Gospel:

1) Stand up for what is right (Proverbs 13:34)

2) Stay against what is wrong (Proverbs 29:2)
