Breaking Tradition (39:20) May 20, 2012) Brother Steve Macias, left, on Sunday, May 20, 2012 preached: "There are no directions from God that we should wash our hands before we eat. To most of us that is a tradition like when the Pharisees tried to prove Jesus wrong (Mark 7:1-20). Jesus called them out, turning on them and saying 'You have let go the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of man.' Are you following tradition more than the commands of God?"To hear more of his sermon, click on the play button below.
