Summary

Today Rachel talks us on a line-by-line walk through the Canaanite woman's encounter with Jesus in Matthew 15. Through her desperation, persistence, and bold humility, the Canaanite woman reveals a truth the disciples hadn't yet grasped: that the mercy of Jesus is so abundant there is enough for everyone -- even the crumbs from his table are enough to heal. The sermon explores what honest, persistent prayer looks like and how this outsider's faith challenges us to pray boldly from a posture of worship.
