The Gospel of Matthew Chapter 17:14-21

And when they had come to the multitude, a man came to Him, kneeling down to Him and saying,
15 “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water.
16 “So I brought him to Your disciples, but they could not cure him.”
17 Then Jesus answered and said, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to Me.”
18 And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him; and the child was cured from that very hour.
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?”
20 So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.
21 “However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”

The Gospel of Matthew Chapter 15:21-28

Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon.
22 And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.”
23 But He answered her not a word. And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, “Send her away, for she cries out after us.”
24 But He answered and said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
25 Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord help me!”
26 But He answered and said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.”
27 And she said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”
28 The Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.

God’s Love

May these words, and the music that follows, fill your heart and soul with the truth of God’s love!

Reaching

His love, went on longing
His love, went on reaching
Right past the shackles of my mind

And the Word of the Father
Became Mary’s little Son
And His love reached all the way to where I was.

And so, this great Creator Who’d been reaching all along
This God Who formed the worlds with His own hands
Made love become a Baby, one of our very own
And spoke His word so we could understand

His love went on longing
His love went on reaching
Right past the shackles of my mind

And the Word of the Father
Became Mary’s little Son
And His love reached all the way to where I was

Reaching, Longing
Longing and Searching

And the longing and the reaching
Became Mary’s little Son
And His love reached all the way to where I was

And You, What are You Thinking?

Make Room

Family hiding from the storm
Found no place at the keeper’s door
It was for this a Child was born
To save a world so cold and hollow

The sleeping town did not know
That lying in a manger low
A Savior King who had no home
Has come to heal our sorrows

Is there room in your heart
Is there room in your heart
Is there room in your heart
For God to write His story

Shepherds counting sheep at night
Do not fear the glory light
You are precious in His sight
God has come to raise the lowly

Is there room in your heart
Is there room in your heart
Is there room in your heart
For God to write His story

You can come as you are
But it may set you apart
When you make room in your heart
And trade your dreams for His glory

Make room in your heart
Make room in your heart

Mother holds the Promise tight
Every wrong will be made right
The road is straight and the burden’s light
For in His hands He holds tomorrow

Is there room in your heart
Is there room in your heart
Is there room in your heart
For God to write His story

You can come as you are
But it may set you apart
When you make room in your heart
And trade your dreams for His glory

Make room in your heart
