Matthew 15:21–28 ESV 21 And Jesus went away from there and withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And behold, a Canaanite woman from that region came out and was crying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is severely oppressed by a demon.” 23 But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came and begged him, saying, “Send her away, for she is crying out after us.” 24 He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” 25 But she came and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, help me.” 26 And he answered, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.” 27 She said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.” 28 Then Jesus answered her, “O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed instantly.What is Faith?Hebrews 11:1–3 ESV 1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 2 For by it the people of old received their commendation. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.Faith is anchored in a future hope.Romans 8:24–25 ESV 24 For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.My future is is not predetermined++By my past failures++By my present weaknessMy future is linked to faith anchored in hopeFaith is++Assurance++ConvictionFaith gets God’s attentionMark 2:5 ESV 5 And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”By Faith++Came a good report++Others recieved their commendation++We understand the power of God’s wordWhere does faith come from?Mark 11:22 ESV 22 And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God.We are challenged++To believe differently++To confess beyond++To live a life of faithMark 11:23–24 ESV 23 Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.Faith is God’s Mercy on DisplayMatthew 15:22 ESV 22 And behold, a Canaanite woman from that region came out and was crying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is severely oppressed by a demon.”The Woman++Came to Jesus++Cried out “Have mercy on me”++Did not have a personal issue++Was overcome with her life.Family issues are painfulThe Pain of Life++Is not just the problem of the lost++Is a human conditionIt doesn’t matter how anointed you are, when something happens to your child you not only want help for the child.
