Jesus' teachings concerning fasting, wine and wineskins, and helping people on the Sabbath, distinguish human teaching from God's agenda. Man-made traditions tend to be legalistic, exacting and ultimately unloving. God's agenda, seen through grace, is motivated by what's most loving and is flexible to get God's purposes moving forward. Human traditions often collide with how God desires us to live, as the focus becomes more on the method versus loving people. This teaching includes an interview asking people what they think about church traditions.
