Homily Notes (Sun) August 20

  1. Last’s week Gospel concludes with an astonishing statement from Jesus to the apostles: “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” (Matthew 14:31).
  2. In stark contrast, today we hear Jesus praising a Canaanite woman (a pagan!): “O woman, great is your faith!” (Matthew 15:28).
  3. If the Lord Jesus were to call you before Him right now, how would He find your faith?
  4. What makes for great faith? How is the Lord God wanting your faith to be greater?
  5. Don’t confuse routine with commitment. Little faith corresponds with the former; great faith the latter.
