In this episode Jesus brings out of a Gentile woman a powerful expression of humble faith. He heals a man who is deaf and amazingly gives him the instant ability to speak clearly. That would require a whole rewiring of portions of the brain!
Traditions of men had taken precedence over God's Word. Jesus reinterpreted the meaning of kosher and cleanliness while calling out the hypocrisy of the religious leaders of His day.

Life in this fallen world is full of storms. This episode tells us how those storms are meant for our good and how we can go through them with peace and joy in our hearts. Where we fix our heart and mind determines how we experience life's storms.
Jesus directed the disciples to sail away from the crowds and be with Him. But when they landed, a crowd was already waiting for them. The disciples wanted to learn from Him, and they did, but not in the way they expected.
John the Baptist and Herod Antipas could not have been any different. The way they responded to their circumstances is a great illustration of the two paths that lie before us all.
Jesus sends His disciples out two by two for a reason. They are training to carry on when He is not present. They have been given authority to case out demons and heal. These are not always signs of belonging to Christ, but in this even were signs the Kingdom was breaking in.
Jesus revisits his hometown only to find them nearly as hardened as his last visit. We explore why and how it may apply to our expectations. We also find the fascinating prediction hidden within the meaning of his trade as a "carpenter".
