Matthew : Season 7 - Week 4
Speakers: Jay (SA) + Corinna (SH)
Passage: Matthew 15:21-28
Blurb: In one of the strangest and disturbing texts in the Gospels, a Gentile woman asks Jesus to heal her daughter and Jesus responds by essentially calling her a "dog."

Could it be that what seems on the surface like an act of bigotry is actually a revolutionary expansion of God's kingdom boundaries? In this teaching, we'll dive into one of the challenging stories of Jesus and encounter a bold new vision for what it means to belong.
