Monday Main Point

This week on Monday Main Point, Jonathan, Jeremiah, Blake and Jeff discuss the Syro-Phoenician woman who comes to Jesus with a request and initially receives a somewhat cold response.  This is a difficult passage and the pastors talk about some of the more controversial aspects. Who was this woman and how did she know who Jesus is?  Why does Jesus initially ignore the woman's request?  What does He mean when He says that He was only sent for the lost sheep of Israel?  And was Jesus being racist in the way He was dealing with this woman?
