What matters more—God’s Word or human tradition? In Matthew 15, Jesus confronts the Pharisees for elevating man-made rules above God’s commands, exposing how traditions can actually lead people away from truth. Pastor Paul unpacks why it’s not what goes into our mouths that defiles us, but what comes out of our hearts. You’ll see how faith perseveres through silence and testing, as in the story of the Canaanite woman, and how Jesus reveals His deep compassion by healing, providing, and representing us before the Father with mercy.
