What do you value?  What do you think is important?  As you look at those two questions, I invite you to read Matthew 28:16-20. These are the familiar words of the Great Commission that Jesus gives to his Disciples.  Most important in these, I want you to pay attention to two verses.

Matthew 28:18-19

Start by reading James 1:17-27 and Mark 7:1-8, 14-15, 21-23

One of my favorite TV characters from when I was growing up was from this little show called Sesame Street.  I’m one of those kids that grew in the Sesame Street era, and a lot of lessons I was being taught were reinforced by what I saw there.

On that TV show there was one of my favorite characters, and that was Oscar the Grouch.
