Crumbs
Jesus’ encounter with the Syrophoenician woman is rich and confusing text! Why is Jesus being insulting to her? What’s the big deal about healing someone’s child just because she’s not Jewish? And what in the world could this story – set so firmly in the social, political, and religious understanding of the ancient world – have to say to us?
Join us Sunday, August 16 at 10:00 live or watch the video any time after that. Read Isaiah 56:1, 6-8 and Matthew 15:21-28 in preparation for Sunday’s sermon, “Crumbs.” The bulletin can be downloaded from our August 13 or 16 QuickNews on the “News” page of our website.
