- To Come to Jesus, There Are Often Obstacles to overcome.

We all are inclined to rely on ourselves or on different human techniques to resolve our problems. Prayer, as I mentioned, often comes in as our last resort. But our problems should drive us deeper into experiencing “the unfathomable riches of Christ” (Eph. 3:8). No problem is too big or too small to bring to Jesus.
A. Sometimes you need to overcome the obstacle of cultural differences or race.
This mother was an outsider because of her race. Her Canaanite ancestors were those whom God had commanded Israel to exterminate when they conquered the promised land. If this woman had lived today, she would accuse Jesus of racism! “How dare He treat me as inferior to those arrogant Jews! They’re the ones who stole our land! We demand reparations!” She would organize protesters to demand equality for the Canaanites. But she didn’t argue that God’s choice of Israel was unfair or that His comm...
B. Sometimes you need to overcome the obstacle of insensitive or uncaring Christians.
The disciples were annoyed by this woman’s persistent cries for help. The Greek word translated “shouting” (v. 23) was used of a raven’s croak. She was bugging them! Perhaps they were asking Jesus to grant her request so that she would go away. But clearly, their concern wasn’t for this needy mother or her poor daughter. They just wanted some peace and quiet. Sadly, sometimes needy people come to church desperate for answers to their problems, but insensitive or uncaring Christians treat them...
C. Sometimes you need to overcome the obstacle that Jesus seems silent or uncaring.
It would have been easy for this woman to conclude that Jesus didn’t care about her or her problem. She was obviously desperate to bring her need to Him, but (v. 23), “He did not answer her a word.” Have you ever felt that way when you poured out your heart to the Lord? You felt as if you might as well be talking to the wall! It’s like when you call a company because of a problem and the automated voice assures you, “Your call is important to us. Please remain on the line and your call will b...
You would be mistaken to apply this message by thinking that every request you bring to Jesus will get quick or miraculous answers, as this woman got. Sometimes God graciously answers quickly and even miraculously, but often He does not. We can know God’s will of desire by what He has revealed in Scripture. He (1 Tim. 2:4) “desires all men to be sa...

But Jesus was sleeping. 25 The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!”.
Nov 9, 2023 · In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus says that whoever asks receives, whoever seeks finds, and whoever knocks will find an open door (Matthew 7:7–8). But with this and all other verses we must examine the context. Jesus goes on to say that God will not fail to give His children good things (verse 11).

If I Got Jesus. By: Ben Fuller. Transpose: I’ve had a dollar to my name. I’ve had friends that walked away. And I’ve even lost myself a time or two. There were bridges crossed and burned. But through all the wreckage I have learned. There is one thing that I can never lose.
