Pastor Craig Mueller's sermon from August 20, 2017 | Lectionary 20a | Isaiah 56:1, 6-8; Matthew 15:21-28 | "Did he just say that? That racial slur? It’s time to take a stand. To take him aside and teach him that hateful comments coming from a prominent leader reinforce prejudice. To remind him that from our faith perspective, we will not allow statements that demean a person of another race, gender, or religion.
Did he just say that? Did Jesus just say that in our gospel? Did Jesus just call the Canaanite woman a dog?"
