Jesus Heals a Gentile Woman’s Demon-Possessed Daughter

1
00:00:07,280 –> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: We gather here today with open hearts and mind to grow in faith and truth.

2
00:00:16,040 –> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: In every word we find the pages of the word alive and full of grace, inspiring faith with him as we seek his face by.

3
00:00:30,160 –> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 1: Bible bites, Bible bites, in starting faith one bite at a time with every verse we

4
00:00:45,320 –> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 1: Find our way to live our lives in his light and shine.

5
00:00:52,520 –> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 2: Welcome to Bible Bible, where we try to inspire faith.

6
00:00:57,040 –> 00:00:58,559
Speaker 2: one bite at a time.

7
00:00:58,559 –> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 2: I’m your host, Randy Black.

8
00:01:01,920 –> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 2: In both the Gospels of Matthew and Mark, we encounter a remarkable story where Jesus is approached by a Gentile woman.

9
00:01:12,040 –> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 2: She pleads for her demon-possessed daughter to be healed.

10
00:01:16,520 –> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 2: Initially, Jesus seems to reject her

11
00:01:20,420 –> 00:01:27,140
Speaker 2: But her persistence and faith lead us to a miraculous healing

12
00:01:28,420 –> 00:01:42,900
Speaker 2: This account in these scriptures illustrates the the absolutely transformative power of faith and the inclusiveness of God’s mercy, extending beyond cultural and ethnic barriers.

13
00:01:43,900 –> 00:01:50,940
Speaker 2: As we do on each episode, before we dive into our study of the scripture, let’s open up with a word of prayer

14
00:01:52,579 –> 00:02:02,659
Speaker 2: Heavenly Father, we thank you for your unending love and mercy that knows absolutely no boundaries

15
00:02:03,020 –> 00:02:13,500
Speaker 2: Open our hearts to learn from the lessons in these scriptures, the lessons of faith, humility, and persistence

16
00:02:15,040 –> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: Help us to trust in your timing and to seek you boldly, knowing that your love is for all people.

17
00:02:27,020 –> 00:02:34,220
Speaker 2: May your Holy Spirit guide our understanding of these scriptures today in our study.

18
00:02:34,220 –> 00:02:39,099
Speaker 2: It is in the name of your Son, our Savior Jesus, that we pray.

19
00:02:39,099 –> 00:02:40,060
Speaker 2: Amen.

20
00:02:49,160 –> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 3: Matthew 15, verses 21 through 28.

21
00:02:53,080 –> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 3: Jesus went away from there and withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon.

22
00:02:58,000 –> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 3: And a Canaanite woman from that region came out and began to cry out, saying, Have mercy on me, Lord, son of David, my daughter is severely demon-possessed.

23
00:03:07,600 –> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 3: But he did not answer her a word.

24
00:03:09,920 –> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 3: And his disciples came up and urged him, saying,

25
00:03:13,080 –> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 3: Send her away, because she keeps shouting at us.

26
00:03:16,520 –> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 3: But he answered and said, I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

27
00:03:22,200 –> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 3: But she came and began to bow down before him, saying, Lord, help me.

28
00:03:27,000 –> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 3: Yet he answered and said, It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.

29
00:03:32,840 –> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 3: And she said, Yes, Lord, but please help, for even the dogs feed on the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.

30
00:03:40,460 –> 00:03:44,140
Speaker 3: Then Jesus said to her, O woman, your faith is great.

31
00:03:44,140 –> 00:03:46,620
Speaker 3: It shall be done for you as you desire.

32
00:03:46,620 –> 00:03:48,940
Speaker 3: And her daughter was healed at once

33
00:03:53,980 –> 00:03:57,099
Speaker 3: Mark chapter seven verses twenty four through thirty

34
00:03:57,640 –> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 3: Now Jesus got up and went from there to the region of Tyre, and when he had entered a house he wanted no one to know about it, and yet he could not escape notice.

35
00:04:05,600 –> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 3: But after hearing about him a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit immediately came and fell at his feet.

36
00:04:11,680 –> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 3: Now the woman was a Gentile of Syrophenician descent, and she repeatedly asked him to cast the demon out of her daughter, and he was saying to her, let the children

37
00:04:26,200 –> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 3: But she answered and said to him, Yes, Lord, but even the dogs under the table feed on the children’s crumbs.

38
00:04:32,840 –> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 3: And he said to her, Because of this answer, go.

39
00:04:35,760 –> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 3: the demon has gone out of your daughter.

40
00:04:37,760 –> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 3: And after going back to her home, she found the child lying on the bed and the demon gone.

41
00:04:45,520 –> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 2: These parallel accounts highlight Jesus’ encounter.

42
00:04:50,460 –> 00:04:57,659
Speaker 2: with a gentile woman, a Syrophoenician in Mark’s gospel, and a Canaanite in Matthew’s.

43
00:04:57,659 –> 00:04:58,539
Speaker 2: Initially

44
00:04:59,220 –> 00:05:08,340
Speaker 2: Jesus seems reluctant to engage with her as he tells her that his mission is directed toward the lost sheep of Israel

45
00:05:09,140 –> 00:05:20,260
Speaker 2: This response reflects the Jewish understanding at the time that the Messiah’s ministry was primarily to the people of Israel.

46
00:05:21,960 –> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 2: The woman’s persistence stands out strongly in this narrative.

47
00:05:27,320 –> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 2: Despite what could have been seen as rejection,

48
00:05:31,220 –> 00:05:38,500
Speaker 2: She humbly acknowledges her place and uses Jesus’ own words to express faith.

49
00:05:38,500 –> 00:05:40,660
Speaker 2: Her response in both accounts

50
00:05:41,220 –> 00:05:50,180
Speaker 2: Even the dogs under the table feed on the children’s crumbs demonstrates remarkable humility

51
00:05:50,680 –> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 2: an amazing trust in Jesus’ power and his mercy.

52
00:05:57,480 –> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 2: Jesus’ initial response might seem harsh.

53
00:06:01,120 –> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 2: But it opens the door for a profound teaching moment.

54
00:06:06,000 –> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 2: The woman’s faith surpasses cultural and ethnic boundaries

55
00:06:11,139 –> 00:06:20,580
Speaker 2: Her persistence is not just about the desperation inside of her, but it’s about belief that even a small portion

56
00:06:21,120 –> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 2: Of Jesus’ power is enough to bring deliverance to her daughter.

57
00:06:27,919 –> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 2: Both of these accounts emphasize Jesus’ recognition of her faith

58
00:06:33,820 –> 00:06:41,100
Speaker 2: He declares her faith great in Matthew’s version, and responds to her persistence by healing her daughter.

59
00:06:41,100 –> 00:06:45,020
Speaker 2: This story teaches us that Jesus’ compassion

60
00:06:45,539 –> 00:06:49,220
Speaker 2: is not limited by human boundaries.

61
00:06:49,220 –> 00:06:55,699
Speaker 2: And that faith, regardless of origin, is honored by God

62
00:06:56,940 –> 00:07:05,500
Speaker 2: The narrative from these scriptures also foreshadows the inclusion of the Gentiles in God’s redemptive plan.

63
00:07:05,820 –> 00:07:14,060
Speaker 2: What began as a mission to Israel expands into a global message of salvation.

64
00:07:14,060 –> 00:07:16,380
Speaker 2: This healing points to a future

65
00:07:17,460 –> 00:07:25,620
Speaker 2: Where God’s mercy is extended to all who seek Him, regardless of the background.

66
00:07:27,240 –> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 2: We have five key takeaways as usual from these scriptures.

67
00:07:31,720 –> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 2: Our first is that faith transcends boundaries

68
00:07:36,840 –> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 2: The Gentile woman’s faith broke through cultural and religious barriers, demonstrating that faith is not confined to any particular group

69
00:07:47,740 –> 00:07:58,700
Speaker 2: Jesus initially emphasized his mission to Israel, but the woman’s belief proved that God’s power is accessible to all who trust him.

70
00:07:58,740 –> 00:08:02,820
Speaker 2: regardless of nationality or background.

71
00:08:02,820 –> 00:08:09,700
Speaker 2: This reminds us that God’s blessings are not limited by human-made divisions.

72
00:08:09,840 –> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 2: Like race, status, social norms.

73
00:08:14,320 –> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 2: Faith is about the heart’s posture before God, not outward identity or heritage

74
00:08:21,840 –> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 2: Her story encourages us to view others through the lens of faith, welcoming all into the family of God.

75
00:08:33,480 –> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 2: Our second key takeaway here is that is about persistence in prayer.

76
00:08:41,159 –> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 2: The woman did not retreat after Jesus’ initial silence or his seemingly, you know, dismissive response.

77
00:08:49,320 –> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 2: Instead, she pressed on, showing that sometimes God’s silence is not a rejection, but a call to a deeper faith

78
00:09:02,340 –> 00:09:11,780
Speaker 2: Persistence in prayer requires trust that God hears us even when answers are delayed.

79
00:09:11,780 –> 00:09:15,220
Speaker 2: This lesson encourages us to persevere

80
00:09:16,140 –> 00:09:24,220
Speaker 2: Especially when we don’t see immediate results, knowing that God’s timing is perfect.

81
00:09:25,140 –> 00:09:32,180
Speaker 2: Persistent faith allows us to experience the fullness of God’s plan.

82
00:09:32,180 –> 00:09:36,420
Speaker 2: It reveals blessings we might otherwise miss

83
00:09:37,940 –> 00:09:44,180
Speaker 2: Our third takeaway is that we must show humility before God.

84
00:09:44,180 –> 00:09:52,100
Speaker 2: The woman approached Jesus with humility, acknowledging that she was undeserving of special treatment.

85
00:09:51,920 –> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 2: Yet she still trusted in his mercy.

86
00:09:55,440 –> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 2: Her response, even the dogs feed on the crumbs, was not a complaint

87
00:10:02,520 –> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 2: But a humble appeal to God’s kindness.

88
00:10:07,240 –> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 2: Humility in prayer aligns our hearts with God’s will.

89
00:10:11,900 –> 00:10:18,860
Speaker 2: recognizing our need for him while trusting in his goodness.

90
00:10:18,860 –> 00:10:21,260
Speaker 2: This story from the scripture teaches us

91
00:10:21,740 –> 00:10:30,780
Speaker 2: That God honors those who come before him with humble hearts, willing to receive whatever he offers.

92
00:10:31,020 –> 00:10:39,660
Speaker 2: Humility draws us closer to God, making us receptive to His grace and blessings.

93
00:10:42,080 –> 00:10:46,399
Speaker 2: Our fourth takeaway is that God’s mercy is inclusive.

94
00:10:48,240 –> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 2: Jesus’ response to the woman’s faith highlights the expansive nature of God’s mercy

95
00:10:55,040 –> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 2: Showing that his compassion extends beyond Israel to the Gentiles.

96
00:11:01,440 –> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 2: This encounter foreshadows the global mission of the gospel.

97
00:11:05,940 –> 00:11:12,500
Speaker 2: Revealing that salvation is available to all people, not just a select group.

98
00:11:12,500 –> 00:11:19,220
Speaker 2: God’s mercy is is not earned by status or ethnicity or personal achievements

99
00:11:19,720 –> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 2: but is given freely to those who seek Him in faith.

100
00:11:25,080 –> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 2: This challenges us to reflect on how we view others, and to resist creating boundaries that God does not.

101
00:11:34,540 –> 00:11:44,220
Speaker 2: We are called to embrace all people with the same love and mercy that Jesus demonstrated in these passages

102
00:11:45,860 –> 00:11:53,540
Speaker 2: And our last takeaway is looks at small acts of faith can yield great outcomes.

103
00:11:54,640 –> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 2: This woman’s belief that even a crumb of Jesus’ power could heal her daughter reveals that great faith is not always about grand gestures.

104
00:12:08,020 –> 00:12:17,300
Speaker 2: Sometimes it is the smallest, most desperate expressions of faith that open the door for God’s intervention

105
00:12:17,720 –> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 2: It teaches us that God responds not to the size of our faith, but to its authenticity.

106
00:12:26,440 –> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 2: Even when our faith feels weak or incomplete, God can still do miraculous things through it

107
00:12:35,540 –> 00:12:46,260
Speaker 2: The story in these scriptures encourages us to take small steps of faith, trusting that God can use them for his greater purpose.

108
00:12:48,580 –> 00:12:57,700
Speaker 2: The faith of the Gentile woman challenges us to examine our own persistence and humility in approaching God.

109
00:12:57,820 –> 00:13:02,860
Speaker 2: Do we give up when we encounter delays or silence?

110
00:13:02,860 –> 00:13:06,220
Speaker 2: Or do we continue to trust in God’s timing

111
00:13:07,140 –> 00:13:15,140
Speaker 2: This story in the scripture encourages us to keep seeking, even when the answer is not immediate

112
00:13:16,340 –> 00:13:22,980
Speaker 2: Her humility serves as a perfect model for us.

113
00:13:22,980 –> 00:13:25,540
Speaker 2: She did not argue her worthiness

114
00:13:25,920 –> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 2: She placed her hope in the mercy of Jesus.

115
00:13:30,880 –> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 2: In our lives, humility in prayer and dependence on God are

116
00:13:40,340 –> 00:13:46,500
Speaker 2: Extremely essential qualities that allow us to experience His grace

117
00:13:48,460 –> 00:13:57,500
Speaker 2: The woman’s interaction with Jesus also pushes us to reflect on how it is that we treat others who are different from us.

118
00:13:57,500 –> 00:14:01,580
Speaker 2: Are we placing boundaries where God intends inclusion?

119
00:14:02,340 –> 00:14:10,260
Speaker 2: The lesson in these scriptures reminds us that faith is not restricted by race or status or nationality.

120
00:14:10,940 –> 00:14:17,339
Speaker 2: God’s love and power are available to anyone who seeks him sincerely.

121
00:14:19,240 –> 00:14:25,079
Speaker 2: This encounter also speaks to the heart of intercession.

122
00:14:25,079 –> 00:14:29,079
Speaker 2: The woman did not come to Jesus for herself.

123
00:14:29,279 –> 00:14:31,519
Speaker 2: Before her daughter.

124
00:14:31,519 –> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 2: How often do we bring others’ needs to God with the same passion and persistence?

125
00:14:41,980 –> 00:14:47,339
Speaker 2: That this woman demonstrated for us.

126
00:14:47,339 –> 00:14:55,980
Speaker 2: Intercessory prayer can be one of the most powerful expressions of love and of faith.

127
00:14:57,540 –> 00:15:08,420
Speaker 2: And lastly, we are reminded that even small, seemingly insignificant acts of faith can lead to profound change

128
00:15:10,160 –> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 2: We don’t always need grand gestures of belief.

129
00:15:14,400 –> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 2: Sometimes the smallest step in God’s direction is enough for Him to work wonders in our own lives.

130
00:15:25,000 –> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 2: Let’s now close out our study of these scriptures with a prayer.

131
00:15:31,000 –> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 2: Father in heaven.

132
00:15:32,920 –> 00:15:38,759
Speaker 2: Thank you for teaching us through the faith of this Gentile woman.

133
00:15:38,759 –> 00:15:47,399
Speaker 2: Help us to be persistent in seeking you, even when the answers are delayed or unexpected.

134
00:15:47,360 –> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 2: Give us hearts full of humility and hands ready to intercede for others

135
00:15:56,760 –> 00:16:03,399
Speaker 2: May we embrace your inclusive love and extend it to those around us.

136
00:16:03,399 –> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 2: Strengthen our faith

137
00:16:05,520 –> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 2: even in the small things, so that your power can be revealed in our lives.

138
00:16:13,520 –> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 2: In the name of your Son, our Savior Jesus, we pray.

139
00:16:17,360 –> 00:16:18,000

00:17:04,600 –> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 2: And in the value for value model, we see that in three different forms: in the form of time, talent, or treasure.

150
00:17:13,419 –> 00:17:20,299
Speaker 2: Time is as simple as listening each week as a new episode comes out.

151
00:17:20,299 –> 00:17:25,419
Speaker 2: It can be as simple as sharing an episode with someone you know.

152
00:17:25,360 –> 00:17:29,039
Speaker 2: To tell them, hey, this is a great episode of Bible Bites.

153
00:17:29,039 –> 00:17:31,519
Speaker 2: I really think you should listen to it.

154
00:17:31,519 –> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 2: Talent would be offering to assist us in some way with the talent that you have

155
00:17:36,640 –> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 2: It could be to help us create cover art for each episode.

156
00:17:41,040 –> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 2: It could be to help write an episode or present a topic or an idea from scripture.

157
00:17:46,640 –> 00:17:48,400
Speaker 2: to use to create an episode.

158
00:17:48,400 –> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 2: It could be to even step up and offer to record and be a part of the show.

159
00:17:53,200 –> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 2: And lastly, in treasure, treasure by its very name.

160
00:17:56,919 –> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 2: suggests something that is of very very strong value.

161
00:18:01,559 –> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 2: And in this case it refers to something of value in the form of currency.

162
00:18:06,740 –> 00:18:12,179
Speaker 2: You can listen to the show in a modern podcast app and stream Satoshis to the show.

163
00:18:12,179 –> 00:18:14,419

164
00:18:14,740 –> 00:18:15,780
Speaker 2: pieces of Bitcoin.

165
00:18:15,780 –> 00:18:22,100
