Artist: A, “Tucan do it.”

Text: Matthew 15:21-39

Takeaway: Jesus calls a woman a dog. It’s shocking, but not to her; she persists in humility and is blessed by God’s generosity. No, it’s shocking to those who presume God is like a house pet — waiting to please and encourage unconditionally. God’s not a dog. We are not his masters.
