Description
<p><strong>Matthew 15: 21-28 (NASB)<br /></strong>Jesus went away from there, and withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon. And a Canaanite woman from that region came out and began to cry out, saying, ‘Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is severely demon-possessed.’ But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples came up and urged Him, saying, ‘Send her away, because she keeps shouting at us!’ But He answered and said, ‘I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.’ But she came and began to bow down before Him, saying, ‘Lord, help me!’ Yet He answered and said, ‘It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.’ And she said, ‘Yes, Lord; but please help, for even the dogs feed on the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.’ Then Jesus said to her, ‘O woman, your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you desire.’ And her daughter was healed at once.<br /><br /><strong>Mark 7: 24-30 (NASB)<br /></strong>Now Jesus got up and went from there to the region of Tyre. And when He had entered a house, He wanted no one to know about it; and yet He could not escape notice. But after hearing about Him, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit immediately came and fell at His feet. Now the woman was a Gentile, of Syrophoenician descent. And she repeatedly asked Him to cast the demon out of her daughter. And He was saying to her, ‘Let the children be satisfied first, for it is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.’ But she answered and said to Him, ‘Yes, Lord, but even the dogs under the table feed on the children’s crumbs.’ And He said to her, ‘Because of this answer, go; the demon has gone out of your daughter.’ And after going back to her home, she found the child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.<br /><br /><strong>Key Takeaways:</strong><ul><li><strong>Faith transcends boundaries.</strong></li><li><strong>Persistence in prayer</strong>.</li><li><strong>Humility before God</strong>.</li><li><strong>God’s mercy is inclusive</strong>.</li><li><strong>Small acts of faith yield great outcomes</strong>.</li></ul></p> <p><strong>Value 4 Value:</strong><br />This podcast operates under the Value 4 Value model.
