A Learning and Teaching Experience  Click here Click title to view sermon Reading: Matthew 15: 21–28

Listen Between the Lines  Click here Click title to view sermon Reading: Matthew 15: 21–28
Summary: The gospel story today may be difficult to hear. It appears at first sight that Jesus is insensitive and even prejudiced. However, if we keep faith as the woman in the story did and listen between the lines, we might hear something about a world that tends to divide itself in ways that God never intended. This woman who never went to church has something important to show the people who do.

Us and Them  Click here Click title to view sermon Reading: Matthew 15: 21–28
Summary:  In Jesus’ encounter with a certain Canaanite woman, there is more than meets the eye. Jesus does the woman the honor of debating her, raising her to his own social level. Her plucky determination is an example to the disciples (and to us) that we are all equal in God’s eyes.

What a Coincidence?/ What? A Coincidence?  Click here Click title to view sermon Reading: Matthew 15: 10–28
Summary: When seeming random events come together for our good, we should not be too quick to label them as fate, luck, good fortune or coincidence. Try one of these words instead: providence, synchronicity, grace, serendipity or the German word, zufall. What they communicate is that God is likely behind the action, so that goodness and mercy may follow us.
