Mark 7.24-37
In Tyre, a Gentile woman begs Jesus to heal her daughter. At first Jesus rebuffs the woman, but she argues back and the child is healed. Travelling on to Sidon, Jesus heals a deaf man, and his reputation as a healer spreads.
This week’s resources explore: honouring the marginalised; the power of faith.
