In the 4th part of the Beautiful One series, Pastor Erwin McManus emphasizes the power of having a desperate faith.
Pulling from Matthew chapter 15, Jesus encounters a Cannanite woman who is rejected and seen as an outcast in that cultural time period. She comes to him begging that he would heal her daughter who is demon possessed -- but his disciples try to send her away.
Testing her, Jesus responds with the cultural narrative that was circling her situation, halling her a dog and saying "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel."
But she remained steadfast in asking Jesus, not letting the all-too-familiar humiliation stop her from asking for her miracle.
Jesus then responds to her humility saying "you have great faith" and heals her daughter.
If you are ready to push past the narratives that have kept you from Jesus and desperately seek his movement in your life, don't miss this life-changing episode!
