Hope in the Time of COVID, Part 09 - The Love of a Mother and the Heart of Jesus

Jesus at 2AM - A Humorous, Intelligent Look at the Bible, Church History & the Life of Faith

Continuing our look at the practice of being loved by God, we read the story of Jesus encounter with a young mother desperate for healing of her daughter.

Everything about their meeting is a violation of cultural expectations, and the scene is wrought with emotion. And in this meeting - where hope meets love - we see in stark relief the boundless love of God for each and every person, no matter how distant from God they may seem (or feel).

The biblical passage referenced in this sermon is:

• Matthew 15:21-28 (NRSV)

It was preached on May 10, 2020 at Canvas Presbyterian Church (Irvine, CA). If you'd like to see the whole worship service, you can find it here. Or subscribe to the Canvas Vimeo page for our video archive or to see future worship services!
