Clinging as a Sinner in Need of Mercy, Matthew 15:21-28

Grace Anglican Church Gastonia, NC

In the story of the Canaanite woman from Matthew 15, we see Jesus testing both his disciples and the woman regarding faith in what the Messiah has come to do. How does the woman respond to Jesus and how does Jesus respond to the woman? What does this tell us about the resilience of faith and our need to cling to Jesus? Father Jeremiah walks through this story and helps us to see how we can look more like the Canaanite woman.
