Episode Synopsis
Send us a textIt's always interesting to look at a section of Jesus' words that seem different than they are. Remember as you read these words and listen to the sermon, that Jesus is God, and knows all. So he knows what this woman believes, and sets her up perfectly to profess this faith in front of the disciples, and to be recorded for us! And what a show of faith she gives! She is not deterred, but persistent in her knowledge of him as her savior, and also in his ability to heal. God be with you today and always! If you're local, come on by!

My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.”23 Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”24 He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”25 The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said.26 He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”27 “Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”28 Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment.
