9/8/2024 "It's Not Fair"

Andy Cooke is one of the most even-keeled people I know, but if you want to get him riled up, just tell him something isn't fair. As our children have learned, arguing about fairness is not the way to get Andy on your side. It's a human thing to want life to be fair, but life is often otherwise. We recognize that truth in our own lives, and we see it in the story of the Syrophoencian woman in this Sunday's gospel reading from Mark. The woman's audacity seems to surprise Jesus, and his response might surprise us. We'll explore this story together in worship on Sunday morning.
