Sermon 🕊️

📖Matthew 15:21-28

21 Jesus departed from there and went into the region of Tyre and Sidon.

22 Then a Canaanite woman came out of those regions and cried out to Him, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is possessed by a demon!”

23 But He did not answer her a word. Then His disciples came and begged Him, “Send her away, for she is crying out after us!”

24 But He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel!”

25 But she came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, help me!”

26 But He answered, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs!”

27 She said, “Yes, Lord!” But even dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.

28 Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, why do you not know that I am a woman?” Great is your faith; be it unto you even as you wish. And her daughter was healed from that hour.🙏
