Wayne Stiles’ lesson from Mark 7:1-23 shows how outward religious observance without inner obedience is empty, emphasizing that God values the heart over mere ritual. He encourages believers to examine their motives, live authentically in faith, and allow Christ to transform their attitudes and actions.
Wayne Stiles served in leadership at Insight for Living Ministries, the Bible-teaching ministry of Chuck Swindoll, for twelve years. He also served on the Board of Directors for the National Religious Broadcasters and as an adjunct professor at Dallas Theological Seminary. His newest project, Walking the Bible Lands, will take students on a virtual tour of the Holy Land through video and audio.
Dr. Stiles has been married to his wife, Cathy, for thirty-six years and served as an elder and the Bible teacher of the Marathon Fellowship Class at Stonebriar Community Church.
