A Great Faith (Part 1)

In last week's passage (Matthew 15:1-20) Jesus explained that the defilement that seperates us from God doesn't come from outside of us but inside, issuing up out of the heart. If this is so, then how can any of us ever hope to gain access to God? After all, if our defilement comes from our very hearts then we can never make ourselves pure. How then can we ever hope to experience God's blessing? Matthew shows us the answer to this question in the very next account when a Canaanite woman comes to Jesus seeking help. How can the unclean experience the blessing and grace of God? Ryan explains in the first part of a two-part message from Matthew 15:21-28 entitled "A Great Faith."
