NOT A WORD | Joe Smith - Mosaic

About this sermon

Mosaic Hollywood Campus Pastor Joe Smith invites us to navigate spiritually complex moments we often tend to avoid. Have you ever felt as though your prayers were falling on deaf ears? In Matthew 15:21-28, Jesus has an interaction with a Canaanite woman who begs him to heal her daughter. When she first asks, he responds to her request with silence. Then, the conversation takes a turn. Jesus addresses an unspoken feeling of unworthiness that has followed her for far too long. The Canaanite woman saw that his initial silence was not an obstacle, but an invitation to hear Jesus in a different way. Pastor Joe uses this illustration to guide us in how to hear God through the intentionality of his silence. f you are seeking to hear God’s voice, this message is for you.
