Challenges and Withdrawals

This message examines the interactions between Jesus and the Pharisees, focusing on the issue of tradition versus God's commands. Jesus confronts the Pharisees for prioritizing human traditions over divine law, emphasizing that true purity comes from the heart rather than external rituals. The sermon also highlights the faith of a Canaanite woman who, despite being a Gentile, recognizes Jesus as the Messiah and persists in seeking His help for her demon-possessed daughter. Her humility and determination lead to her daughter's healing, illustrating the nature of great faith.
