3 Sermons Tagged "Strengthen"

When a Canaanite woman begged Jesus to help her (by removing the demon that was tormenting her daughter), it seems like Jesus ignored and insulted her. However, he was actually strengthening her faith and preparing her for future hardships through this encounter. Our faith enables us to cling to his promise and know that he isn't ignoring us; rather, he answers our pleas and cares for us according to what is best for us.

When we pray, we must recognize: what we deserve, our burdens, our relief (and we know relief is coming), and God’s guidance.

Through Psalm 73, we see there are problems of this world and the wicked often seem to prosper, but we can be confident God is using them to strengthen our faith in Him.
