    "A Light That Shatters The Darkness”

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Aug 17, 2023
     | 1,423 views

    I don’t think I have ever seen a stained glass window of Jesus laughing. Did He laugh when Jonah landed on the beach smelling like whale breath? When the wedding party tasted the best wine ever, did He smile? In his discussion with a Canaanite woman is He smiling through the words?

    In Jesus Holy Name August 20, 2023 Text: Matthew 15:28/Isaiah 9:1b-2 Pentecost XV - Redeemer “A Light That Shatters the Darkness” I have seen many beautiful stained glass windows displaying various aspects of the life of Jesus. But I don’t think I have ever seen a stained glass ...read more

    Have Great Faith In Jesus!

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Aug 21, 2023
     | 1,569 views

    Instead of telling us what faith is...the Bible shows! For our sermon together let’s focus our attention on the faith of one Canaanite woman as an example of “great faith.”

    “Faith is….” How would you finish that phrase? You might quote the classic Bible passage that defines faith. Hebrews 11:1 says, “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” Or perhaps you would come up with a string of synonyms for faith. You might say, ...read more

    Faith demonstrated in the margins of life.

    A CRUMB FROM THE TABLE. Matthew 15:21-28. In the earlier part of the chapter, Jesus had disputed with some Scribes and Pharisees about ritual and tradition; and had taught those who would hear that defilement does not come from without, but from within. It is also true to say that FAITH flows ...read more

    Twentieth Sunday In Ordinary Time- Clever Dogs

     | 1,211 views

    The woman understood the testing or riddle or allegorical challenge of Jesus.

    Jesus puts Jews and gentiles under the same roof, and the first to get there is the Canaanite woman from our Gospel today. In fact, you could say that the day the gospel went to the dogs was the day it came to us. In Catholic Christianity, the word dog is used positively in mottos, by saints, ...read more

    Our outer life has its source in what is going on inside us.

    WHAT FLOWS FROM WITHIN. Matthew 15:10-28. I). The War Against Sin. Matthew 15:10-20. MATTHEW 15:10-11. Jesus turned away from the Pharisees and summoned the crowd to Himself. “Hear and understand,” He taught.

    The Mystery Of (Un)answered Prayer

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on Aug 23, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,169 views

    Two stories from Mark 7 illustrate the mystery of answered prayer: God adapts his glorious plan to the requests of ordinary people, even when granting the requests is greater than people can imagine.

    THE MYSTERY OF (UN)ANSWERED PRAYER—Mark 7:24-37 Many people have had the experience of praying—passionately, even desperately—and not receiving the answer they were seeking. That can be confusing, even troubling, and we naturally ask, “Why?” Was God not listening? Is he not able to do what we ask? ...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

    The Faith-Defier Series

     | 191 views

    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

    Faith That Refuses To Give Up

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on May 8, 2025
     | 915 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
     | 212 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

    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.

    Questions: Why is Jesus going to Gentile Sidon? To connect Himself to Elijah? Is the miracle about "Faith? Why does Jesus "spit" and "sigh" in order to work a miracle...when only His words were enough for the woman from Sidon?

    Have you ever felt like the Lord wasn’t listening? I know I have. I’ve had times when it felt like my prayer just bounced off the ceiling and came down upon my head again. I think it’s one of those things that everyone experiences from time to time.
