Mark 7:24-30
24) From there he arose, and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. He entered into a house, and wanted no one to know it, but he couldn‘t escape detection.
25) For a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet.
26) Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.
27) But Jesus said to her, "Let the children be filled first, for it is not appropriate to take the children‘s bread and throw it to the dogs."
28) But she answered him, "Yes, Lord. For even the dogs under the table eat the children‘s crumbs."
29) He said to her, "For this saying, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter."
30) She went away to her house, and found the child laying on the bed, with the demon gone out.

Hi, this is on the game on the Internet about the known mark everything I need to know I learned from the Lazar number one, don't miss the boat number to remember that we are all in the same boat number three plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark. Number four statement when you're sixty years old. Someone may ask you to do something really big number five don't listen to critics just get on with the job that needs to be done. Number six. Build your future on higher ground.

Remember that the ark was built by amateurs in the Titanic by professionals and number eleven, no matter the storm. When you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting as nothing to do with my sermon, but I thought I'd put that out there on this morning real estate about our belief and and I entitled to believe, partly because we there we did that spoke on his somewhat last week, I wanted out. Did the original encourage Amber last week we finished up memory on their own with somebody about these note cards, their noteworthy sermons your meeting tomorrow at half into trouble two three four five whatever does the money of you, so they gave it, it did you need to encourage them by incurring someone loosely hi guys, I did drive it is that I will anyone else need okay while I happen by our number two God. God has great things in store for you. I believe that you make that application number three. What do you have the dog will get honor from accomplishing in your life that you figured out. I regularly read as they were based in part I, so we talked about believe that our faith and belief means to accept this true now sometimes when the Joomla! bit about this in Sunday's of that sometimes we will say while you you believe it's true, but that doesn't mean it's true, but the idea is that when we believe something that is thank you that is outwardly believe something, what happens. We believe and means that we accept it as truly accepted as genuine, except that Israel so whenever we say we believe in the Scripture were saying that we accept it as true now one of the questions we had here was a silo that you encourage now the challenge is that they believe you number one. The reason that you sometimes we sometimes don't encourage someone is as we don't believe in ourselves went out bowling ourselves when believe it or not, then who we are all we have to say to share with someone so way around, saying the guys wanted. I don't believe anyhow, while the done situation presents itself we have to believe enough in what God has given us the sure not to use it as a club early Shylock believing in a laminate. Now it's a sharing of encouragement. The sharing of a believe that you believe in something you believe in what can happen and will happen in a person 's life so how then and this is the title of the sermon. How then do we position ourselves to receive the blessing of God in our life we position ourselves to receive God 's reward in our life. Now one thing that keeps you from being in a position to receive the answer to your prayers is that we sometimes are offended, we sometimes are often not whenever we become offended. We generally do want to think we either back off or we can interface that the waiver back off while you know, I don't even feel like me that your loss. I'm not here built back up. Some people and meet all like me. Well, let me show you. I will tell you about two things about myself. I like the reason and I would straighten out your belief system by street map your jaw. But anyhow, so whenever we are offended, we generally backdrop or become too aggressive to be offended only weakens us never, never thought of it that way, offense, the word offense is an act of stumbling the defendant is an active stumbling becoming a stumbling block. So we be insulted or morally outraged offense is a hurt pleasure in their heart displeasure. So when you are offended someone intentionally or unintentionally, presented a problem comment happening. They offended human heart to and you became aggressive volume back to my to be offended. Only we can do so, it will cause you to stop to step back and look at things a little differently. So last week 's message and I and I I gained a lot from last week 's message and I see that many of you get to buy that no garden. I have left off last week 's message was about the Roman soldier member was ensuring the honor Jesus, he valued honor means the value. Now this honor discount and put it in perspective honor is value in time is value. If I don't have time for you that we and I guess on review day when I already knew it means I'm giving time to time, giving credence. Giving value to find giving way to what you have to say. So Jesus 's words in his life, his actions carry a great amount of influence. They carry a great amount of honor in our life, because we give. We get a lot of ways. We get a lot of credence. We get a lot of validity to this word, so when the word of God is honored by us. We then are allowing it to influence us in a positive way. We're not upgraded by God 's word the is the story is about the roaming the century now, since you there is a legion, and that's six thousand people in the Legion. There is Robert Earl Lincoln. Lincoln had sixteen centurions saw Centurion is over a hundred soldiers the century came to Jesus and he came and wanted assignment. He'll became another story announced last week, Simon, but it's still got okay the censuring came to Jesus and said my server to sell adjacent said okay I'll go with you zero Houston and nine and well you know what will pray when it will heal him. This insurance is all about the only begotten to speak the word because I am a man under authority, on and under honor a man who honors authority, meaning that if you word, my servant will be healed because I understand this is where we we we we see that this insurer and understood that God had given this authority did Jesus spake the word and his sermon would be healed that he gave him the authority to speak the word. Whenever Jesus said, must happen just as they would say because he is a man under authority, and the sincerity and the land that any said it all off, not where maybe you should come under my roof. But only speak the word, and my servant will be healed. For I also am a man under authority, so Jesus marveled at this man and said, I have not found such great faith, not even all Israel. What was that what was that what was a great faith, the great faith was the understanding of the action coming together in this insurance life. The understanding and the action coming together and the Centurion 's life the Janet Seeman, Doctor Lasley line coach Al. He was Alex is not here. She left, they went down by Janet fancied one down and relating here. You know what instantly accessing no. In general, year-over-year unit here, the cheerleader mom. Okay, that we don't have any of the girls are doing about. We have four boys think they will be the cheerleaders or cheerleaders. We simply need to fill in your football player. Okay valiantly over again even though I generally yes yeah I you don't encourage the belief sharing God that all that I K one nine airline lineup lineup ran on Julie here encourages a lightning of the battle, but I can't seem to get over this failure one hundred one hundred and that the business ran out straight line display. Yes, I've demonstrate one eleven ago area area. I now this is a key again. They were lovely local killings of his all right, we'll go to the eye but the idea with this generalist approach okay Dan's approach. This is the now, when just the coach what's going on. She says, you guys can do it you believe you guys amended the AI can I get why the believer genotypes. Okay, one of Janet, not only as coach, but she has a nationally recognized coach that has come to help you live out as a team, now you begin to believe what you say, even to another level. I not only is she a recognized coach, but she didn't want to put on a call, said we want. We need people fourteen. You're the ones he showed up. Okay, you responded to the call. Now I must do believe the coach. It depends on what our background, so she doesn't have a good background. She is a coach once did coach, and nobody also become so she shows up behind is a UK binder. She is a nationally recognized coach, who has taken teams from nothing to something, and she constantly utilizes as I would make a good team and got some really good talent here. One evening I just potential attack by now. Janet is now blogging about the female the Senate is now God protect noise when we got now. I just now got Janet being God calls, and you've responded in your now one of God 's children as Christ to forgive you live within your heart. Good thing now. How much do believe God unless you believe in God, says all things work together for good to those long gone are probably going to his purpose, meaning God has a way of working things around the good in your life you believe that K guess what the amount that you believe that will determine how much he can do in your life, just like the couch and if the college is an expert that can take your talent and taken to a whole new level. You begin to understand as you begin to develop his achievement as a person. When God says to you, he can do things in your life you have to decide while is it true or resident, and if it is true, then you express faith in God 's ability and then what happens, you'll receive instruction from God, which increases who you are, increases your ability takes your potential to another level and what happened you begin to serve God and against the work in your life. And because it's a law or things like that. Why, when there is nothing to do with my story. Are you a cheerleader. Now that's okay. But anyhow, I wanted you to know how this works you go to come back on time so I worried all day okay better now what without I is in a one. Three really know she needs help each even though the vote, leaving an open community are out there and while you know since you wouldn't go away murmuring for non- daughter. I will not answer your friends name is Isabel. Now you may think that's a story turn in your Bibles to Mark chapter seven, verses twenty four to thirty, but you understandably understand the concept. Do we understand the concept that unless we believe in God we don't receive and once we believe that every anal any encourager. This is why it's so important backup will been here is your encourager is your encourager who encourages you and what you do. That's why when we think about God. God is our encourager. I memorized this illustration he is going. It's not how many coaches, and this is how my charges. This Tiger Woods and I know he needs a lot right now, but the back with me for yet all this problems of any charges you think Tiger Woods that one, but I felt as the Tiger Woods have already had five when Tiger Woods was at the height of his game and doing very well. He had five coaches. How many people are your coaches. How many people encourage you. You see being it. We look at people who are excelled delete. We had from is going to steal again less like that. I forgot a range as we left before halftime and we got home and allow Bernie, we're watching the far corner and I would not have wanted to drive on eleven thirty last night as I was higher than they do now. You see all the teams are based in the the players and easy colleges all over the place. Why, because coaches have to be involved in the life of the players in order to get the players off function as a team and taken to a higher level. How many coaches do you have the bill encourages you if you don't have someone who encourages you. Who encourages you to think that's where the Bible comes along the Scripture comes along. God comes along and says, I'm your best friend I've ever in the second clause of the brother Paul, your friends forsake you. I will never forsake you. If someone comes along with his you know what you don't have what it takes. You got a few things wrong with you. God says, I put inside of you to see how greatness of who you are to be as a person. When you are in your mother 's womb. And therein there and the only thing is to bring them out as my spirit and my law and my grace in my mercy in your life is going to bring them to blossom in your life, and may take a lifetime will bring about the new method, God says to lots now do you believe it. How much do you believe while I would just like the team looking at the coach saying, well, you know, you got some credentials that you don't know about enough about us or do we recognize the coach has the alternate credentials. God, he knows everything about you and you love you and gives you his work now March at December twenty four, Jesus left that place went to the vicinity of Tyree you are now and did not want anyone to know it yet it could not keep his presence secret. In fact, this is heard as soon as she heard about him, a woman is little daughter was possessed by an evil spirit came and fell at his feet. The well. It was a great juice mogul Tom, now that Channing is not in. She has a great born on Syrian finish it. She banged Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter first let the children eat all they want, he told her forever. It is not right to take children's bread and toss it to the dog. Yes Lord, she replied, but even the dogs under the table eat the children's problems. Then he told her for such a reply, you may go in the demon has left her daughter. She went home and found her child lying on the bed and the demon gone now our little placers get here. I get very much for participating in the will to try and help your daughter. Pray for her competitive, but again, it was just going along with the story. It was an interruption. See and if you wanted how the children one another through. That's an understatement for church no matter how you stay here how you slice this verse, Jesus called this woman a dog. Jesus called this woman adopt. I think of that as an insult that I gave now would remember whatever we started out the message today said Abel, who are insulted when we do we usually back away are we in an assault of this woman and what happened like if you came to me for prior and I called you a dog or didn't pay attention to what she was going away and I we are getting back it anyhow we didn't rehearse it very well excellent that is wrong, why stop there and why did you ever now let's dive, but if I called your dog whenever you came to me for prayer. I called you. What would you do without any installment every something you just understand why that enough for you, and I'd like to tell you two things. So how much faith you need to stay how much faith you need to stay and be able to present your need to God when you feel that he's not listening. How much faith you need. You need enough faith to ask again. Okay, see, we offer wilderness, how much faith you need. You need to stay and keep on asking, and this is where we are challenged. It's like we were thin-skinned and then stand by me. I'm very I am easily offended idolizing me that way, but I am easily and I'm just like my terrible thing to do, but I generally people like me. I backed away and out, and when I look at this and this woman comes to Jesus any in all her baby was involved in seeking state and I highly got a laugh. Now I find this out for my gal who do not like and walked away. Allows why does he want marketing and I went down. I have many said, knowing all new dog and I want the much faith you need. You need an update to stay and ask again her glory and honor Jesus. Her belief and honor. She honored him now seen as well. We also think why honored them. They didn't honor me, so therefore we're offended. We walk away Jesus whenever and whatever me, would have a relationship with Jesus Christ. We've got to recognize the character of God, not the situations that we find ourselves in lower the assumed in situations honoring God says we can find a man, and will give way evidence we have authority to his word and his authority overrides the circumstance we find yourself in. That's important. We cannot respond to the circumstances we must respond to the character that we know was there because we can misinterpret circumstances that may misinterpret his argument does we like to look at circumstances and and then what would we blame God. Wow. Why don't we just stick around long enough glass not place blame when you're assaulted to back away, so you believe that God is in charge of our life and how about when you feel insulted with Windows ME. Tom your life and not God 's. What is it my right to respond and not God 's right of ownership. This verse challenges the what the children before your first report is not good to take the children's bread and brought the little dogs. The commentary on this as Jesus was saying his first priority was to provide food for the children to teach his disciples, but the comment that when they seems to be used in a sense that way that Jesus is saying here comes this this Phoenician woman. This over the person and and and. Jesus says to her, you know, I have to take my disciples first and I want to take care of them. First, that's what I'm doing and I am not to allow to interrupt the family meal, you know, I allow my job is to be my disciples and not allow pets. They interrupt the family meal. How many habitats on it and interrupt the family meal that always made me behind. Dogs and cats in whatever the bag suffered the debate of a new till the last one. The bankruptcy but that is the Osbourne form again my mom, one wall outlet denials by user for pets. If the non sequitur. Houses for people, dog, cat, nothing got not my mom was stricken with. So anyhow, even places where we had a dog that's a murderer. Our dog of our daughters, though, when you're feeding Jackson, you know grand you see you are you have a try and then your feelings, accident and a bottom tray to this time coming up around the pop talking to find food in half that Jackson has most of the act, you know, as I doubt her dog any directly not to see, that's right in on the highchair. The dog thinks I but Jesus is saying that it's my job to take the disciples and feed them and not to fade a little patentable dogs that are running around the table. This is what allows this one of statements. It's like the blind guy on the side of the road and Annie's trying out the Jesus and Jesus says what you want, as well as, say situations where it is saying this to the woman, but an instant, and is therefore isn't for the disciples that he is saying this is a problem woman or is it for us. The one I've had enough. They, and that she had a need great enough that only Jesus could take care of it, so she wasn't allowed up on this, so she and Anna VI- imagine is that she is hanging around cases like that, but like the dog around the table. Why, because he always has a way of drawing upon the story that is really evident. This parable or whatever that is really enabled that other people can relate to. So he says you like a little dog that runs around the table scraps. Why what's her answer first, twenty eight. July be with Jesus says your right. The author says is I then yeah, you're right, large, but even the dogs under the table is from the children's crumbs. I maybe a dog but even you are from is enough for me. In other crimes that fall from the table on your disciples will be enough to take care of the need in my life. It was like how much faith is enough to move mountains. Faith is a grain of mustard seed size of a grain mustards. I mean if the smallest of all seeds. This woman expressed is that all I need is the crumbs that fall from what you give your disciples. It will take her to need a mild. My daughter was Jesus a for such a reply, you may go in the demon has left her daughter for such a reply for such a reply. All I need is just whenever you whenever your disciples drop on the ground. That's enough to take care of the need of my life so we comment we hear the coach. God say to us. All you need is enough faith laughs all you need is enough faith and trust me when things aren't going well, still not made to keep coming back, that when things are going well for your life. You believe what I am telling you over what doing what other people are telling you that I you while you are yet in your mother 's will, and I have a plan for your life. I'm a plan for your life law and hypotheses, and there went before you're even born. I put it inside of you to. And all this stuff that's going on in your life. All the difficulties and all the things that happen. I have a way of making them work for dividing good and a purpose for you. You believe the coach is the expert in life you believe what the coaches say you believe his words for your life and to see how much does it take. It takes enough not to be offended if we have enough faith, not to be offended, offended by what offended by the circumstances of life offended by the things you don't understand nothing not be offended a doctor to have enough faith to get up when you don't feel like getting up to have enough faith to say that God is in charge and I don't know how I do know why, but I know God is in charge. Sometimes I don't feel loved. I know God loves me. Sometimes I don't feel like I'm a direction that God has a direction. Sometimes I don't feel like I'm going to go to heaven, but God says of I confess my sins, he is faithful and just to forgive him. I send implicitly from all unrighteousness with my name in his book of life will live forever. So no matter what I feel I will not allow those feelings to be enough and drive back away from my relationship with God because I believe the coach who knows me calls me by name twenty nine naming his book the book of life in others a modern proverb I read the other day. It says you are always only one choice away from changing your life. You are always only one choice away from changing your life, good or bad. One choice and we pray that that's why we need the word that's why we need the Scriptures ascribe we need the hope that is in the word to give us direction for the choices that we may the attitude that we have for the help that we have yells unable to what I hope why the president be disappointed. God wants us to have hope. He wants us to be occurring and then comes along each Abbas to the encourages of one another and the reason that we are not encourages most of the time because we don't believe enough in the words that we are about to say, we don't really believe what were telling some so therefore we don't say but you know what you don't make something up you complement what you already see to come to have a compliment in your mind and not say it is a wasted it doesn't do you any good, it doesn't do the person so when you have complement given so many people are apt to be critics, the Nelson L spout off their criticisms. But how many people are caught up in their complements and there encourages unwitting or copy what you can do, they can affect someone's life in a positive way, and these are the things of God is very different to us. God says, get your house up in a section called and strive towards them believe that this is going to be the best year ever in school believe that you can do it. And if you can make it, you'll find a way and opportunities will be presented in all opportunities will be there start some things present themselves as failures. But only God can turn them in opportunity and saw you looking for the opportunity, I like the store and music that all his Islamic love yellow kid who's the best hitter in all the world throws the ball up the best paranormal world. Mister Reich, one of the best in all the world on the best hitter in all the world on the death penalty. What else it's like to have the best in the world on the pheromone world on the maternal mulch strike three. When you know the best pitcher in all the world just a matter of perspective. What's God 's perspective, what's our divine coaches perspective. I know you. I know your thoughts. I know your intentions I know you better than you mean me know yourself. I love you I purpose for you. I will never leave you and I will make ways for you and it hasn't even entered into your mind or heart. The things I have prepared for you. Do you believe me, that's the coach saying it's a loss. Do you believe me away. I sent a body of Christ as a team as individuals respond to the couch by saying yes I believe every respond then why participating and how we're going to live our life and that expectation of God, doing great things in our lives. No changes that I believe you calculate both the down the Oregon practice in Oregon and delicate job putting together an eye on the part of it. You can is not a team is not a spectator sport. This is a myth of the life limiting experience in which God brings to reality what he tells us we are called upon to engage in an you about that you thought I would follow a Aegina run over the pews that aside, get ready to catch me that there is a stand selling all missed the boat. Remember that were all in the same boat. No temptation, but such is found the man everybody's give up and quit, but everyone is also encouraged by the Spirit in the same way. Plan ahead. God is at work dullness of the critics got as a way playing altogether, and then you believe anything you give away the couch. I really may believe the coach believe that God created you want to put the words again in the Word made flesh, and one among us in spirit inspiresHi, this is on the game on the Internet about the known mark everything I need to know I learned from the Lazar number one, don't miss the boat number to remember that we are all in the same boat number three plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark. Number four statement when you're sixty years old. Someone may ask you to do something really big number five don't listen to critics just get on with the job that needs to be done. Number six. Build your future on higher ground. Number seven for safety sake travel in pairs, number eight speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs number nine, when you're stressed, float a while. Number ten. Remember that the ark was built by amateurs in the Titanic by professionals and number eleven, no matter the storm. When you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting as nothing to do with my sermon, but I thought I'd put that out there on this morning real estate about our belief and and I entitled to believe, partly because we there we did that spoke on his somewhat last week, I wanted out. Did the original encourage Amber last week we finished up memory on their own with somebody about these note cards, their noteworthy sermons your meeting tomorrow at half into trouble two three four five whatever does the money of you, so they gave it, it did you need to encourage them by incurring someone loosely hi guys, I did drive it is that I will anyone else need okay while I happen by our number two God. God has great things in store for you. I believe that you make that application number three. What do you have the dog will get honor from accomplishing in your life that you figured out.

So last week 's message and I and I I gained a lot from last week 's message and I see that many of you get to buy that no garden.

Okay, that we don't have any of the girls are doing about. We have four boys think they will be the cheerleaders or cheerleaders. We simply need to fill in your football player. Okay valiantly over again even though I generally yes yeah I you don't encourage the belief sharing God that all that I K one nine airline lineup lineup ran on Julie here encourages a lightning of the battle, but I can't seem to get over this failure one hundred one hundred and that the business ran out straight line display. Yes, I've demonstrate one eleven ago area area. I now this is a key again. They were lovely local killings of his all right, we'll go to the eye but the idea with this generalist approach okay Dan's approach. This is the now, when just the coach what's going on. She says, you guys can do it you believe you guys amended the AI can I get why the believer genotypes. Okay, one of Janet, not only as coach, but she has a nationally recognized coach that has come to help you live out as a team, now you begin to believe what you say, even to another level. I not only is she a recognized coach, but she didn't want to put on a call, said we want. We need people fourteen. You're the ones he showed up. Okay, you responded to the call. Now I must do believe the coach. It depends on what our background, so she doesn't have a good background. She is a coach once did coach, and nobody also become so she shows up behind is a UK binder. She is a nationally recognized coach, who has taken teams from nothing to something, and she constantly utilizes as I would make a good team and got some really good talent here. One evening I just potential attack by now. Janet is now blogging about the female the Senate is now God protect noise when we got now. I just now got Janet being God calls, and you've responded in your now one of God 's children as Christ to forgive you live within your heart. Good thing now. How much do believe God unless you believe in God, says all things work together for good to those long gone are probably going to his purpose, meaning God has a way of working things around the good in your life you believe that K guess what the amount that you believe that will determine how much he can do in your life, just like the couch and if the college is an expert that can take your talent and taken to a whole new level. You begin to understand as you begin to develop his achievement as a person. When God says to you, he can do things in your life you have to decide while is it true or resident, and if it is true, then you express faith in God 's ability and then what happens, you'll receive instruction from God, which increases who you are, increases your ability takes your potential to another level and what happened you begin to serve God and against the work in your life. And because it's a law or things like that. Why, when there is nothing to do with my story. Are you a cheerleader. Now that's okay. But anyhow, I wanted you to know how this works you go to come back on time so I worried all day okay better now what without I is in a one. Three really know she needs help each even though the vote, leaving an open community are out there and while you know since you wouldn't go away murmuring for non- daughter. I will not answer your friends name is Isabel. Now you may think that's a story turn in your Bibles to Mark chapter seven, verses twenty four to thirty, but you understandably understand the concept. Do we understand the concept that unless we believe in God we don't receive and once we believe that every anal any encourager. This is why it's so important backup will been here is your encourager is your encourager who encourages you and what you do. That's why when we think about God. God is our encourager. I memorized this illustration he is going. It's not how many coaches, and this is how my charges. This Tiger Woods and I know he needs a lot right now, but the back with me for yet all this problems of any charges you think Tiger Woods that one, but I felt as the Tiger Woods have already had five when Tiger Woods was at the height of his game and doing very well. He had five coaches. How many people are your coaches. How many people encourage you. You see being it. We look at people who are excelled delete. We had from is going to steal again less like that. I forgot a range as we left before halftime and we got home and allow Bernie, we're watching the far corner and I would not have wanted to drive on eleven thirty last night as I was higher than they do now. You see all the teams are based in the the players and easy colleges all over the place. Why, because coaches have to be involved in the life of the players in order to get the players off function as a team and taken to a higher level. How many coaches do you have the bill encourages you if you don't have someone who encourages you. Who encourages you to think that's where the Bible comes along the Scripture comes along. God comes along and says, I'm your best friend I've ever in the second clause of the brother Paul, your friends forsake you. I will never forsake you. If someone comes along with his you know what you don't have what it takes. You got a few things wrong with you. God says, I put inside of you to see how greatness of who you are to be as a person. When you are in your mother 's womb. And therein there and the only thing is to bring them out as my spirit and my law and my grace in my mercy in your life is going to bring them to blossom in your life, and may take a lifetime will bring about the new method, God says to lots now do you believe it. How much do you believe while I would just like the team looking at the coach saying, well, you know, you got some credentials that you don't know about enough about us or do we recognize the coach has the alternate credentials. God, he knows everything about you and you love you and gives you his work now March at December twenty four, Jesus left that place went to the vicinity of Tyree you are now and did not want anyone to know it yet it could not keep his presence secret. In fact, this is heard as soon as she heard about him, a woman is little daughter was possessed by an evil spirit came and fell at his feet. The well. It was a great juice mogul Tom, now that Channing is not in. She has a great born on Syrian finish it. She banged Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter first let the children eat all they want, he told her forever. It is not right to take children's bread and toss it to the dog. Yes Lord, she replied, but even the dogs under the table eat the children's problems. Then he told her for such a reply, you may go in the demon has left her daughter. She went home and found her child lying on the bed and the demon gone now our little placers get here. I get very much for participating in the will to try and help your daughter. Pray for her competitive, but again, it was just going along with the story. It was an interruption. See and if you wanted how the children one another through. That's an understatement for church no matter how you stay here how you slice this verse, Jesus called this woman a dog. Jesus called this woman adopt. I think of that as an insult that I gave now would remember whatever we started out the message today said Abel, who are insulted when we do we usually back away are we in an assault of this woman and what happened like if you came to me for prior and I called you a dog or didn't pay attention to what she was going away and I we are getting back it anyhow we didn't rehearse it very well excellent that is wrong, why stop there and why did you ever now let's dive, but if I called your dog whenever you came to me for prayer. I called you. What would you do without any installment every something you just understand why that enough for you, and I'd like to tell you two things. So how much faith you need to stay how much faith you need to stay and be able to present your need to God when you feel that he's not listening. How much faith you need. You need enough faith to ask again. Okay, see, we offer wilderness, how much faith you need. You need to stay and keep on asking, and this is where we are challenged. It's like we were thin-skinned and then stand by me. I'm very I am easily offended idolizing me that way, but I am easily and I'm just like my terrible thing to do, but I generally people like me. I backed away and out, and when I look at this and this woman comes to Jesus any in all her baby was involved in seeking state and I highly got a laugh. Now I find this out for my gal who do not like and walked away. Allows why does he want marketing and I went down. I have many said, knowing all new dog and I want the much faith you need. You need an update to stay and ask again her glory and honor Jesus. Her belief and honor. She honored him now seen as well. We also think why honored them. They didn't honor me, so therefore we're offended. We walk away Jesus whenever and whatever me, would have a relationship with Jesus Christ. We've got to recognize the character of God, not the situations that we find ourselves in lower the assumed in situations honoring God says we can find a man, and will give way evidence we have authority to his word and his authority overrides the circumstance we find yourself in. That's important. We cannot respond to the circumstances we must respond to the character that we know was there because we can misinterpret circumstances that may misinterpret his argument does we like to look at circumstances and and then what would we blame God. Wow. Why don't we just stick around long enough glass not place blame when you're assaulted to back away, so you believe that God is in charge of our life and how about when you feel insulted with Windows ME. Tom your life and not God 's. What is it my right to respond and not God 's right of ownership. This verse challenges the what the children before your first report is not good to take the children's bread and brought the little dogs. The commentary on this as Jesus was saying his first priority was to provide food for the children to teach his disciples, but the comment that when they seems to be used in a sense that way that Jesus is saying here comes this this Phoenician woman. This over the person and and and. Jesus says to her, you know, I have to take my disciples first and I want to take care of them. First, that's what I'm doing and I am not to allow to interrupt the family meal, you know, I allow my job is to be my disciples and not allow pets. They interrupt the family meal. How many habitats on it and interrupt the family meal that always made me behind. Dogs and cats in whatever the bag suffered the debate of a new till the last one. The bankruptcy but that is the Osbourne form again my mom, one wall outlet denials by user for pets. If the non sequitur. Houses for people, dog, cat, nothing got not my mom was stricken with. So anyhow, even places where we had a dog that's a murderer. Our dog of our daughters, though, when you're feeding Jackson, you know grand you see you are you have a try and then your feelings, accident and a bottom tray to this time coming up around the pop talking to find food in half that Jackson has most of the act, you know, as I doubt her dog any directly not to see, that's right in on the highchair. The dog thinks I but Jesus is saying that it's my job to take the disciples and feed them and not to fade a little patentable dogs that are running around the table. This is what allows this one of statements. It's like the blind guy on the side of the road and Annie's trying out the Jesus and Jesus says what you want, as well as, say situations where it is saying this to the woman, but an instant, and is therefore isn't for the disciples that he is saying this is a problem woman or is it for us. The one I've had enough. They, and that she had a need great enough that only Jesus could take care of it, so she wasn't allowed up on this, so she and Anna VI- imagine is that she is hanging around cases like that, but like the dog around the table. Why, because he always has a way of drawing upon the story that is really evident. This parable or whatever that is really enabled that other people can relate to. So he says you like a little dog that runs around the table scraps. Why what's her answer first, twenty eight. July be with Jesus says your right. The author says is I then yeah, you're right, large, but even the dogs under the table is from the children's crumbs. I maybe a dog but even you are from is enough for me. In other crimes that fall from the table on your disciples will be enough to take care of the need in my life. It was like how much faith is enough to move mountains. Faith is a grain of mustard seed size of a grain mustards. I mean if the smallest of all seeds. This woman expressed is that all I need is the crumbs that fall from what you give your disciples. It will take her to need a mild. My daughter was Jesus a for such a reply, you may go in the demon has left her daughter for such a reply for such a reply. All I need is just whenever you whenever your disciples drop on the ground. That's enough to take care of the need of my life so we comment we hear the coach. God say to us. All you need is enough faith laughs all you need is enough faith and trust me when things aren't going well, still not made to keep coming back, that when things are going well for your life. You believe what I am telling you over what doing what other people are telling you that I you while you are yet in your mother 's will, and I have a plan for your life. I'm a plan for your life law and hypotheses, and there went before you're even born. I put it inside of you to. And all this stuff that's going on in your life. All the difficulties and all the things that happen. I have a way of making them work for dividing good and a purpose for you. You believe the coach is the expert in life you believe what the coaches say you believe his words for your life and to see how much does it take. It takes enough not to be offended if we have enough faith, not to be offended, offended by what offended by the circumstances of life offended by the things you don't understand nothing not be offended a doctor to have enough faith to get up when you don't feel like getting up to have enough faith to say that God is in charge and I don't know how I do know why, but I know God is in charge. Sometimes I don't feel loved. I know God loves me. Sometimes I don't feel like I'm a direction that God has a direction. Sometimes I don't feel like I'm going to go to heaven, but God says of I confess my sins, he is faithful and just to forgive him. I send implicitly from all unrighteousness with my name in his book of life will live forever. So no matter what I feel I will not allow those feelings to be enough and drive back away from my relationship with God because I believe the coach who knows me calls me by name twenty nine naming his book the book of life in others a modern proverb I read the other day. It says you are always only one choice away from changing your life. You are always only one choice away from changing your life, good or bad. One choice and we pray that that's why we need the word that's why we need the Scriptures ascribe we need the hope that is in the word to give us direction for the choices that we may the attitude that we have for the help that we have yells unable to what I hope why the president be disappointed. God wants us to have hope. He wants us to be occurring and then comes along each Abbas to the encourages of one another and the reason that we are not encourages most of the time because we don't believe enough in the words that we are about to say, we don't really believe what were telling some so therefore we don't say but you know what you don't make something up you complement what you already see to come to have a compliment in your mind and not say it is a wasted it doesn't do you any good, it doesn't do the person so when you have complement given so many people are apt to be critics, the Nelson L spout off their criticisms. But how many people are caught up in their complements and there encourages unwitting or copy what you can do, they can affect someone's life in a positive way, and these are the things of God is very different to us. God says, get your house up in a section called and strive towards them believe that this is going to be the best year ever in school believe that you can do it. And if you can make it, you'll find a way and opportunities will be presented in all opportunities will be there start some things present themselves as failures. But only God can turn them in opportunity and saw you looking for the opportunity, I like the store and music that all his Islamic love yellow kid who's the best hitter in all the world throws the ball up the best paranormal world. Mister Reich, one of the best in all the world on the best hitter in all the world on the death penalty. What else it's like to have the best in the world on the pheromone world on the maternal mulch strike three. When you know the best pitcher in all the world just a matter of perspective. What's God 's perspective, what's our divine coaches perspective. I know you. I know your thoughts. I know your intentions I know you better than you mean me know yourself. I love you I purpose for you. I will never leave you and I will make ways for you and it hasn't even entered into your mind or heart. The things I have prepared for you. Do you believe me, that's the coach saying it's a loss. Do you believe me away. I sent a body of Christ as a team as individuals respond to the couch by saying yes I believe every respond then why participating and how we're going to live our life and that expectation of God, doing great things in our lives. No changes that I believe you calculate both the down the Oregon practice in Oregon and delicate job putting together an eye on the part of it. You can is not a team is not a spectator sport. This is a myth of the life limiting experience in which God brings to reality what he tells us we are called upon to engage in an you about that you thought I would follow a Aegina run over the pews that aside, get ready to catch me that there is a stand selling all missed the boat. Remember that were all in the same boat. No temptation, but such is found the man everybody's give up and quit, but everyone is also encouraged by the Spirit in the same way. Plan ahead. God is at work dullness of the critics got as a way playing altogether, and then you believe anything you give away the couch. I really may believe the coach believe that God created you want to put the words again in the Word made flesh, and one among us in spirit inspires
