A Heart That Sees Truth | Mark 7:1-8:21 | Derek Harm

In this sermon from Redemption Life Fellowship, we continue our series in the Gospel of Mark by walking through Mark 7:1–8:21 under the title “A Heart That Sees Truth.” Through Jesus’ confrontations with religious leaders, His gracious response to a desperate Gentile mother, His healing of a deaf man, and His feeding of four thousand, we see that our clarity about truth is deeply connected to the condition of our hearts. The message contrasts closed hearts that hide behind religious performance, curious hearts of “outsiders” who humbly receive grace, and confused hearts of disciples whom Jesus patiently questions and restores. Ultimately, listeners are invited to let Jesus expose, soften, and question their hearts so they can see Him more clearly as the promised Shepherd, light to the nations, and risen Truth who opens, satisfies, and clarifies the hearts of those who follow Him.
