    This sermon addresses how Jesus ministered to the Canaanite woman when others, including Jesus’ own disciples, would have just brushed her off.

    JESUS AND THE CANAANITE WOMAN Text: Matthew 15:10-28 It seems that Jesus was indifferent toward this Canaanite woman who was in need of His help. Matthew 15:24 could give one that perception on the surface: "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel" (Matthew 15:24 RSV). ...read more
