Examining the traditions we hold. Reflecting on Matthew 15, where Jesus questions the Pharisees' adherence to man-made rules over God's commands, this message invites us to consider how our traditions might be barriers to truly connecting with God and others.

Let's break down the "fences" that keep us from experiencing and sharing God’s love fully, reminding us that traditions should never be elevated above the essence of our faith. As followers of Christ, we are called to break down barriers, welcome others, and reveal the true, inclusive nature of God's love.
