Sunday Gathering - August 9th

 

Because the church’s building is still in a level 3 evacuation zone, we will not be gathering there on Sunday morning. Instead, we will gather for Sunday worship at Faith Bible Church at 1:00 pm.

 

Address: 440 W Cora Ave, Spokane, WA 99205

On August 1st, our Spokane community suffered a nearly incomprehensible disaster as fires tore through our city — including the neighborhood we love and call home, where our church building is also located.

 

To date, 6 families have suffered a complete loss of their home, property, and possessions, and nearly half of our roughly 400-member congregation has been displaced, living in temporary housing due to necessary evacuations — with friends, relatives, in hotels, or other accommodations.

 

Many people and churches have asked how they can specifically help, and we have set up a Fire Relief Fund for our church.

 

These resources will be used to care for the immediate, mid-term, and long-term needs of ITC members, and as the Lord gives opportunity, for the good and upbuilding of others in our area.

 

Although there is much tragedy, we grieve with great hope because of the goodness and faithfulness of the Lord.

 

If you or your church desire to help and serve our church and those we're connected to, please direct your giving to the Indian Trail Church – Fire Relief Fund.

Matthew 15:21-39

Passage: Matthew 15:21–39

HOME GROUP DISCUSSION

- What was the biblical history behind Matthew's reference to the woman in verse 22 as a "Canaanite" woman? Is it possible this had something to do with the way Jesus responded to her? If so, how would you explain this?

- What did you think of the Canaanite woman's response to Jesus? How did it show her great faith?

- Could there have been a difference in the crowds that gathered around Jesus in this region of Tyre and Sidon than there was with the Pharisees at Gennesaret in the begining of chapter 15? How is that significant?

- What does Jesus' compassion toward these crowds say about his mission? Did the disciples yet share this compassion? What does reaching out to these crowds mean to us as Christ's disciples today? Who is the Gospel for?
