“Our God is in heaven and he does whatever pleases him. Their idols are silver and gold made by human hands; they have mouths but cannot speak, eyes but cannot see, ears but cannot hear, noses but cannot smell, hands but cannot feel, they cannot walk, they cannot utter a sound.”
A Bible study on Mark 7 that emphasizes God’s wisdom as the defining guide for human vocation as image-bearers. The sermon contrasts God’s life-giving wisdom with human traditions and idolatry, using Jesus’ confrontation with the Pharisees and the healing of a deaf-and-mute man as illustrations. Key application: seek and esteem God’s wisdom through Scripture, prayer, and Christ so we order the world to reflect heaven.
