More Than Bread
It's not enough to get into God's Word, we need to let His Word get into us. "More Than Bread" is a podcast featuring Pastor Dan Nold from Calvary Church in State College, PA. It focuses on simply reading the Bible (with a few comments) in the hopes that listening to God's Word, learning from God's Word and leaning into God's Word will shape our hearts, minds, and souls to bring us life. As Jesus said, "We do not live by bread alone, we live by every Word that comes from the mouth of God."
More Than Bread
Praying Scripture #20 -- Matthew 15:21-28 -- "Do you ever wonder if God cares?"
Matthew 15 contains the prayer of an outsider. She doesn't have an inside track to Jesus. She's an outsider and as far as Jesus' disciples are concerned she's an outcast. She knows it so when she comes to Jesus, she comes with the traditional words of a beggar. "Lord, have mercy on me." And she gets ignored and in some respects pushed back. She had to have wondered, at least for a moment if God cared. Maybe at some point you've described your prayer life with the words, "I feel ignored." What do you do then?
Well what this outsider did...led to Jesus amazed at her faith. This is a challenge to go from "does God care?" to amazing faith in our prayer life.
