Sermon

The Church Is Meant for All People

How harshly Jesus seems to treat a gentile woman who turns to “the Son of David” for help!
Her repeated pleas are met with silence, exclusion, and insult. Nevertheless, faith in a loving, merciful
Savior still sees room for a “yes” in his harsh replies. Her “great faith” in Jesus is not disappointed but
strengthened. Her prayer is answered with the healing of her daughter.
