    Beggar(S)

    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,294 views

    When Martin Luther died, they found a piece of paper in his pocket that read: "This is true. We are beggars." He is right. Before God, we are beggars, like the Canaanite woman.

    There is something about a sibling that can bring out the worst in us. We might not mind losing, but when it is to a brother or sister, then it’s an entirely different story. We might become more competitive than we normally are. Our patience can seem to be even less with them. They also seem ...read more

    Mother Of The Year - A Canaanite Woman

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on May 17, 2018
     | 10,845 views

    In this passage we see a gentile woman from a pagan land showing the humility and faith that is honored by the Lord. And at the same time we see Jesus closest disciples showing dishonor to the same woman. May we read and learn from this great passage.

    If you would, please stand as we say together our memory Scripture for this quarter: Romans 12:4-5 “Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.” ...read more

    If we put Jesus first in our lives then in any crisis we can turn to God for comfort and peace and say all is well.

    Is it Well? Apr 29, 2012 Intro: Crisis has a distilling effect. In the midst of one, or many, all the routine, boring, petty things of life get hastily shoved to the side and the focus becomes intense. What do we have to do right now? What is important in this moment? What will happen in the ...read more

    This sermon talks about buildning stronger relationships with your Father (Heavenly) and your Family.

    How to Build Stronger Relationships TEXT: Luke 15:11-32 “Then He said: ‘A certain man had two sons. And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me.’ So he divided to them his livelihood.

    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. If I were only able to share one story from His ministry with an unbeliever, surely this is not the one that I would chose, for the impression they ...read more

    God calls us all. Our problem is not knowing what we are called to do, it is having the courage to do it.

    It Takes Courage to Dance 2 Timothy 1:17 A calling from God comes to us all. It is our vocation, the reason we take up space on this crowded planet. We recognize that our calling may not be our career. Nevertheless we long to be used to make a difference. My experience leads me to believe that the ...read more

    When seeking assistance or help, don’t give up on GOD, and don’t give into the World!

    21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. 23 But he answered her not a word.

    Our work as God’s people will not be complete, and our covenant with God not fully realized, until blessing has come to all the earth.

    “Blessed to Be a Blessing” - Genesis 12:1-4a The first book of the Bible might well be titled, "Genesis, or the Book of Divine Disappointment." God creates Adam and Eve and gives them everything they could possibly want, except for permission to eat the fruit of one tree. Adam and Eve ...read more

    Our un-named Syrophoencian woman (Although called “Justa” by Constitine as early as the end of the 2nd century) had a lot going on. She was a woman, Gentile, desperate because her daughter was demon possessed.Scripture tells us she “cried out.”

    Healing 8 A 21 Jesus went away from there, and withdrew into the district of Tyre and Sidon.22 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 cruelly demon-possessed."23 But He did not answer her a word.

    The Blessing Of Life

    The death of a child is not a waste for he is a blessing from the Lord, a reward from him (This is the message I preached in a funeral service for a young boy who died of a lingering sickness).

    Honestly, I find it hard to speak in a funeral service. I am aware that words are not enough to fully comfort the family. I’m at a loss for words because I have kids also. I find the task harder because tonight we are holding a funeral service for an 8-year-old boy, Justyn [Name changed to protect ...read more

    Funeral message for Thelma Harper Brown, who exhibited extraordinary patience during a long decline.

    What must it feel like to spend every day waiting? Just waiting. Not going anywhere, not keeping appointments, not concerned about a schedule, but just waiting. Waiting through interminable days and dark nights; waiting to be fed, to be turned, to be spoken to. What must it feel like just to ...read more
