The Spill Test!

In Mark 7, Jesus confronts the Pharisees and flips their entire understanding of sin upside down. The issue isn’t dirty hands — it’s a dirty heart. When life bumps you, what spills out reveals what was already inside. Anger, envy, lust, pride, bitterness — they don’t come from the outside world. They come from within. Jesus teaches that no amount of religious tradition or behavior modification can fix the human heart. Only surrender to Him can. This message challenges us to stop blaming the external and start examining the internal — and shows us how real transformation begins through repentance, dependence on Jesus, wise boundaries, and authentic community.
