     | 26,669 views

    Today we see how the faith of a Canaanite woman found expression in the apparent rejection of her by Christ.

    Introductory Considerations 1. The scene before us seems very wrong. The reactions and words of Jesus are not what I would have expected them to be.

     | 7,889 views

    As we continue in series on the fruit of the Spirit, we consider fruit of goodness.
