Hi sweet ladies! You are listening to Bold is… a women’s ministry podcast with the goal of helping you learn the Bible verse-by-verse. This season we are working our way through the Gospel of Mark. I’m sure you’ve noticed, but it’s been a minute since our last podcast. Our team as shrunk over the past few months, but The Bold Movement has grown. We are now ministering to 30,000 women worldwide in 77 countries. God is moving in powerful and mighty ways, and I believe He is teaching us to trust Him more. So, with that being said, I think we are back on track to get everything out to you all! One more thing before we get into Mark, I want to let you know that everything we make is 100% free. If you believe in what we are doing and would like to consider helping support our ministry, would you pray about joining us as a sponsor? We would love for you to subscribe to our patreon which is a community of folks just like you with plans ranging from $1/month to $25/month. Your monetary donation gives you access to discounts on our merchandise, additional resources on our website, and early access to all of our content. With your support, you are ensuring that we can effectively deliver daily content to help women better understand their Bible which in turn creates disciples who impact the kingdom in greater ways. If you cannot afford to help, we ask that you send us some love by praying for our ministry! Okay, friend -- are you ready to study Mark 7?! INTRO If you are new here, welcome to the podcast! Our goal is to walk you through Scripture verse by verse, so we will read a section of the passage and then try to break it down for you. Just an FYI, it is easy to take Scripture out of context, so make sure when studying you read before this section and after to ensure you are reading it within the correct frame that the original author intended. Ladies, let’s get started. I am going to be reading from the (ESV) English Standard Version. This is the Word of God and is profitable for you: 1 Now when the Pharisees gathered to him, with some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem, 2 they saw that some of his disciples ate with hands that were defiled, that is, unwashed. 3 (For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands properly, holding to the tradition of the elders, 4 and when they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other traditions that they observe, such as the washing of cups and pots and copper vessels and dining couches.) 5 And the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with defiled hands?” 6 And he said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, “ ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; 7 in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ 8 You leave the commandment of God and hold to the tradition of men.” 9 And he said to them, “You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to establish your tradition! 10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.’ 11 But you say, ‘If a man tells his father or his mother, “Whatever you would have gained from me is Corban” ’ (that is, given to God)— 12 then you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother, 13 thus making void the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And many such things you do.”
