    Faith Moves Beyond Limitations (Even The Dogs Qualify) Series

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Feb 16, 2023
     | 4,032 views

    The lesson gives every believer the assurance that Faith in God will work for any one regardless of race, creed or color. This Gentile woman was an outsider, considered no more than a puppy or a house pet, yet her faith made this miracle possible. Faith moves beyond limitations.

    Sermon: Faith Moves Beyond Limitations (Even the Dogs Qualify) Scripture: Matthew 15:21-28 “Then Jesus left Galilee and went north to the region of Tyre and Sidon. 22 A Gentile woman who lived there came to him, pleading, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David!

    "A Light That Shatters The Darkness”

    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
     | 1,566 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

    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

    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

    Faith That Refuses To Give Up

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on May 8, 2025
     | 901 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.

    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?

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

     | 203 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

    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.

    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
