The Gospel of Mark 7:24–30 | The Healing of a Syrophoenician Daughter (Jim Murrell)
Episode 256
Thursday, 17 September, 2026
What can a desperate mother teach us about faith, humility, and the mercy of Jesus? In Mark 7:24–30, a Syrophoenician woman comes to Jesus pleading for Him to cast a demon out of her daughter. What follows is one of the most fascinating conversations in the Gospel of Mark. Jesus’ response may initially sound surprising, but the woman’s humble and persistent reply reveals a remarkable confidence in the power and mercy of Christ. In this study, Jim Murrell walks through Mark 7:24–30 verse by verse, examining the setting, Jesus’ words concerning the children and the little dogs, and the extraordinary faith demonstrated by this Gentile mother. Her faith did not demand. Her humility did not retreat. She simply trusted that even the smallest portion of what Christ could provide was more than enough. Open your Bible to Mark 7 and join us as we continue our study through the Gospel of Mark. A desperate mother. A humble faith. A merciful Savior.
