Patience, Persistence, and Provision

Matthew 15:21–28 — Patience, Persistence, and Provision

This week, we explore a surprising and powerful moment in Jesus’ ministry as He encounters a persistent Gentile woman in the region of Tyre and Sidon. In a story that initially feels like rejection, we uncover a deeper truth: Jesus is drawing out faith through patience.

We reflect on how patience in silence and persistence in unanswered prayer are not signs of abandonment but invitations into deeper faith. The woman’s unwavering trust becomes a model for us all—reminding us that faith grows in the waiting and that God honors those who refuse to give up.

Big Idea: Patience and persistence lead to provision.

We challenge ourselves to ask: Are we truly practicing patience? Are we consistently pursuing Christ? What’s holding us back from following Jesus with everything?

Don’t miss this rich conversation on trust, timing, and the unwavering grace of our King.
