The word “great” is used in a variety of ways which reveals different facets of its definition. 3. When it comes to faith, what constitutes great faith? 4. Tonight, we will discover what God recognizes as great when it comes to our faith. Matthew 15:21-28 Context 1. Matthew 15:1 tells us that a delegation of scribes and Pharisees was sent from Jerusalem to check out Jesus. 2. Their goal was to find a flaw in His life or ministry so that they may “knock Him down a few pegs”, or better yet accuse Him of heresy so that the people would reject Him. 3. They followed Jesus and His disciples, watching their every move, ready to pronounce their condemning judgment of Him. Then they got their chance! Armed with their accusation, they sprung their question on Jesus. They had discovered that His disciples were not washing their hands according to the “tradition of the elders” before they ate bread. 4. In response, Jesus rebuked the scribes and Pharisees for their failure to obey God’s Word because they had elevated the “tradition of the elders” above the Law. 5. Then Jesus declared that a person is not defiled by what goes into their mouth, but by what comes out of it. (18) 6. After this heated exchange, Jesus withdrew from that region and headed west then north along the Mediterranean Sea to the district of Tyre and Sidon. Today this region is called southern Lebanon. 7. It was the first and only time Jesus left Israel. By doing so, He was also sending a message that visiting a Gentile region did not defile a man either! 9. In a region that was 35 to 60 miles from Galilee, an amazing exchange took place between Jesus and a Canaanite woman which has direct application for us and our relationships with God. I. Great Faith Must Have a Great God (21-23) • A. W. Tozer once said, “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” • First, to have great faith, God must be the object of our faith! • Now you can have faith in people, products, or institutions but don’t be surprised when you realize that your faith was foolishly misplaced. • Second, to have great faith, our faith must be founded on a biblical view of God! • Do you believe that God is holy, loving, gracious, merciful, faithful, true, just, eternal, unchanging, all-wise, all-powerful, all-knowing, and everywhere present? If not, you don’t have the God of the Bible because your view of God is too small! • So, if we have a limited view of God, then we will have a limited or small faith. • Conversely, if we have a great view of God, then we have the potential for a great faith. A. Great faith knows Jesus is our only help (22) 1. I’m sure this unnamed, Canaanite woman had turned to the pagan priests of Tyre and Sidon for help. She probably spared no expense to get her little girl the help that she needed, deliverance from demonic possession! 2. But to her dismay, she discovered that her faith in the Canaanite gods was misplaced; they didn’t help! 3. She had tried everything. She was hopeless. Who could deliver her little girl from the cruel demons that tortured her? • We turn to our friends. We turn to self-books. We even turn to Google looking for answers. • All the while, God is patiently waiting for us tire of running into these dead-ends that lead us nowhere. • Turn to Jesus, for our Great God and Savior is our only hope for help! 4. One day she heard about this great man from Galilee, a Jew. He healed the blind, deaf, lame, and mute. He cured the sick and diseased. He cleansed lepers. He even fed 15,000 people with only five loaves and two fish. 5. But her ears perked up when she heard that He delivered people possessed by demons! 6. Suddenly faith filled her heart. She had hope. Sure, this man was a Jew, the Canaanite’s enemy. But she would not let national tensions or personal prejudice get in the way.
