This sermon explores Mark 7 and Paul’s call to "confess with your mouth and believe in your heart," showing how human sin leaves us spiritually deaf, mute, and unable to save ourselves.

Using the healing of the deaf and mute man as a picture of our need, it explains how Christ—through his body, word, baptism, and supper—does for us what we cannot do, gives faith, and credits his righteousness so we are justified.
