    Faith Exceeds Obstacles

    Contributed by Carlos Kleber Maia on Apr 27, 2019
     | 4,757 views

    I want believers to have humble faith, to seek and accept God's plan for their lives, overcoming obstacles.

    FAITH EXCEEDS OBSTACLES Text: Mt 15: 21-28 Purpose: I want believers to have humble faith, to seek and accept God's plan for their lives, overcoming obstacles. Introduction Jesus went to the region of Tire and Sidon (Phenicia, part of Syria). It was a land of Gentiles, pagans, worshipers ...read more

    Throwing Yourself On The Mercy Of God

    Contributed by Peter Pilt on Apr 29, 2019
     | 25,672 views

    People in the bible often appealed to the Mercy of God or they threw themselves on the Mercy of God....Not something that we do so much these days....But we should. This is a sermon on God's Mercy.

    In Matthew there is a story of a woman who threw herself on the mercy of God Matthew 15:21-22 21 Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of ...read more

    Not Because Of Me...but Because Of You

    We must quit cheating ourselves and realize asking in faith removes all our self imposed limits and releases Gods limitless capabilities to work all things together for good, for those who Love Him!

    Not because me, but because of You Lord! Illus. From Guideposts, “Miracles of Healing” There was a woman and her son Mark that went shopping in a large department store one day. On their way down to the main floor her son hopped on the escalator. She then followed. Suddenly her son Mark screamed ...read more

    Even The Dogs Qualify

    I would like for you to think with on the subject, “Even the dogs qualify.” Think of a dog as the lease likely person, in the worst position, at the most inappropriate time, who discovers the power of faith. Faith in God is a qualifier that cannot be ignored.

    Subject: Even the Dogs Qualify Matthew 15:21-29 Introduction: The Scriptures refer to four seasons during Jesus’ earthly ministry where He sought solitude and rest. No matter how gifted or anointed we are, we all need rest. We all need places to be refreshed. The unusual story of our lesson occurs ...read more

    Compassion & Understanding Of The Lord Heals The Canaanite Woman’s Daughter

    Because we harbour differences, misunderstandings, resentments, and issues that we must sort out with the Lord, he may growl at us when we ask for a favour. But if our faith in God remains unshaken, the Lord will ensure that God will answer our cries for help.

    Today, I want to hear God speaking to us through the story of Jesus healing the Canaanite woman’s daughter, who was tormented by a demon. For many reasons, this is a unique and fascinating story. For starters, this story, which is placed in the region of Tyre and Sidon, is among the two stories ...read more

    The Healing Of The Syro-Phoenican Woman's Daughter

    Contributed by Revd. Martin Dale on Mar 8, 2025
     | 500 views

    The real lesson of the story of the healing of the Canaanite woman’s daughter is that we must approach Jesus with humility in our prayers.

    Faith In The Right Things

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Mar 16, 2025
     | 486 views

    This morning, a Canaanite Woman barges into the house Jesus is praying seeking his help. Jesus comments seem cold, but her acknowledgement of Jesus authority, and her need for Grace brings about a great lesson in where we stand before God.

    Good Morning. Today, we have a tough lesson, in that it seems to show us a Jesus who is not the approachable loving friend we sometimes can imagine, but standoffish, aloof, and cold; similar to the way he talks to Mary in Cana before He turns water into wine. As the cartoon on the bulletin cover ...read more

    One of the most difficult sermons a pastor has to preach is a “Mother’s Day” sermon.

    Why? For the same reason you spend a great deal of time searching through the Hallmark Cards trying to find the perfect card that will begin to convey how deeply you feel about your mother. If that is a strain on us consider the strain that puts on us preachers trying to preach a message ...read more

    Faith That Refuses To Give Up

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on May 8, 2025
     | 885 views

    Faith is not just belief—it is a persistent, humble, bold, and expectant attitude that refuses to give up. The Canaanite woman’s story shows that even when you're not qualified, faith can qualify you.

    FAITH THAT REFUSES TO GIVE UP By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Matthew 15:21-28 Supporting Texts: Hebrews 11:6, Mark 11:24, Luke 18:1–8, James 1:6, Romans 4:20–21 INTRODUCTION: There are seasons in life when everything seems to be working against us.

    Disregarding Tradition And Taboo (Matthew 15:1-39)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Aug 20, 2025
     | 186 views

    In this chapter, we read about the Lord Jesus’ encounter with the Pharisees yet again, and of His mercy to a Gentile woman whose daughter was possessed by a demon.

    Coming from Jerusalem, the Pharisees asked Jesus why His disciples did not perform the traditional ritual of washing one’s hands before eating. This ceremony had been established by the “elders” and had nothing to do with hygiene alone, but was instead an elaborate ritual that involved not only ...read more

    Jesus celebrates bold, persistent faith from unexpected people and expands grace beyond boundaries, bringing healing into homes that feel far away.

    INTRODUCTION Some people seem to come to Jesus from the “right” backgrounds. Grew up in church. Know the songs. Understand the language. Fit neatly into the system. Then there are others. The ones who never quite know when to stand up or sit down. The ones who aren’t sure if they belong. The ...read more

    The mighty hand of the Lord delivers and redeems, raises, promotes, and exalts the humble, dashes one's enemies, and puts a new song in the victor’s mouth. It makes people great and strong, and gives wealth and honor.
