About this episode

This episode discusses how a Gentile woman's humble faith teaches us about approaching Jesus with desperation and hope.

There's an entire industry in America dedicated to influencing powerful people. Lobbyists know the right time, the right gift, the right approach. So how do you approach the most powerful person in the universe? In Mark 7, a Gentile woman with a demon-possessed daughter does everything ""wrong""—wrong ethnicity, wrong gender, wrong timing, wrong credentials. Jesus calls her a dog. And her response becomes one of the most remarkable moments in the entire Gospel. This sermon is about how she got it when the disciples didn't, and what her humble, hopeful, unshakable faith teaches us about coming to Jesus with empty hands and a desperate heart.It's also Pentecost Sunday at BBCC—the day we celebrate the gospel going out to the nations, which is exactly where this story is pointing. Join us at 9:00am or 10:30am in Boynton Beach, FL, with coffee and bagels before and after.
