Mark 7:24-8:13 (Sermon)

Double Unexpectedness

1. The Woman’s Unexpected Belief (7:24-30)

   – The Gentile woman trusted the Lord

2. The Lord’s Miraculous Work (7:31-8:10)

   a. The Lord touched & opened the ears of the deaf  (7:31-37)

   b. The Lord cared for & fed the four thousand  (8:1-10)

3. The Pharisees’ Unexpected Unbelief  (8:11-13)

   – The religious Pharisees doubted the Lord

Questions for consideration:

Who are my friends & family (who are steeped in unbelief) whose salvation I can pray for? What are the areas in my own life (which I struggle with unbelief) that I can turn over to the Lord?
