Speaking up
Matthew 15.(10-20),21-28Jesus has two tricky encounters, first with the Pharisees, then with a Canaanite woman, that seemed to be linked by food. In fact, the link is deeper – faith and membership of God’s people – and the outcome of the encounters is something of a surprise.
This week we explore how Jesus challenges our small notions of who God loves. We are invited to have transformed, enlarged hearts both to receive God’s love from other people and to channel it to them – speaking up to ensure all are included.
This week we explore the voices of the marginalised or excluded.
