This sermon explored a strange encounter between Jesus and a Canaanite woman. A demon oppressed the daughter of the Canaanite woman. The woman approaches Jesus and pleads for his help. In a surprising turn of events, Jesus seems to ignore her and then insult her for being a Gentile. We explore the tension of walking through the silence of God while looking to Jesus, who himself walked through the silence of God on the cross. This Canaanite woman stands as a picture of genuine Christian faith in the gospel.
