At the funeral of a 100-year-old saint and the baptism of a newborn child, one confession stood firm: “God is good, even in our suffering.” In this Lenten sermon, Rev. David Buchs explores what faith truly is — not generic optimism or mere knowledge, but trust in God's promises. Through Jacob wrestling with the Lord and the Canaanite woman clinging to Christ's mercy, we see faith refined in trial and anchored in God's unbreakable Word.Sunday Worship – March 1, 2026 (Reminiscere, Lent 2)Grace Lutheran Church | Little Rock, ArkansasKey Themes:• Faith as trust in specific promises, not vague hope• Why God tests faith through suffering• Wrestling with God — and prevailing by His Word• Holding fast to baptismal promises in life and death#GraceLutheranLittleRock#LittleRockChurch#ArkansasFaith#LutheranSermon#ChristianSermon#FaithInSuffering#JesusChrist#TrustGod#LentSermon#ChristianPodcast#BiblicalTeaching#Reminiscere#GospelHope
The sermon from Reminiscere (commonly known as the Second Sunday in Lent) by Pastor Atkinson
March 1, 2026Today's Reading: Matthew 15:21-28Daily Lectionary: Genesis 16:1-9, 15-17:22; Mark 6:1-13“And [Jesus] answered, ‘It is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs.'” (Matthew 15:26)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Jesus calls her what?!? A dog! What many Jews labeled the Canaanites! Looks like a roadblock! A wall! This mommy doesn't slink away, though, with her tail between her legs. Not defeated. What appears to be a pure “NO”, she hears as a “NO” that has a “YES” inside. A hidden “YES”! “Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table.” (Matthew 15:27) “Ain't nothing but a hound dog!”Fine with her because even the dogs are family! Canaanites are part of Jesus' family tree. Rahab! Tamar! Ruth! Jew AND Gentile included in Jesus' Salvation Mission from day one! She believes that. Jesus is for her, even when everything says otherwise. She won't let Him go until she's proven right. And she is! She goes on her journey back home with His “for you” Word in her pocket! “O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire.” (Matthew 15:28) Jesus doesn't disappoint! Brings her beyond the wall, and she returns home not the same. Stretched! Surprised! Severed! Jesus stretched her to the breaking point, so she finds help and hope in Him alone. Jesus surprised her with growth, enlarging her heart to wait on Him alone. Jesus severed her from all attachments and allegiances that she feared, loved, and trusted, so He became her God and Lord alone! She expects walls ahead, but she can trust Jesus at every wall. He'll bring her through. We'll have those moments where it's like we're on the autobahn of faith—cruising along and making the lights. Getting to our destinations. Sure, a few hiccups, but nothing horrible. Then one day, we slam the brakes. We only see red. Stopped! Stuck! What a standstill! All our plans thrown out the window. A wall before us. Can't get around it, over it, under it. What a wall! The wall comes in many shapes and sizes. Parents separate! Betrayed by friends! Shattered dreams! Failed a class! Cut from the team! A beloved family member dies! When we run up against the wall, we're confused. “Jesus loves me this I know!”Really? Jesus doesn't seem warm and friendly. No matter the wall, though, we cling to Jesus like this mommy. We trust Him at the wall. After all, on the Cross, He confronted all the walls we could ever run up against. And on Easter, He walked out of the Grave. Alive and well! The way through has been paved and paid! The journey of faith has begun, and Jesus will bring us through every wall. Not the same either. And certainly not alone. We're surrounded by one another. And Jesus leads the way. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Through long grief-darkened days help us, dear Lord, To trust Your grace for courage to endure, To rest our souls in Your supporting love, And find our hope within Your mercy sure. (LSB 764:5)Rev. Aaron Schian is pastor at Grace Lutheran Church in Auburn, MI.Audio Reflections Speaker: Rev. Richard Heinz, pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church in Lowell, IN.Finally Free: Three Lessons in the Parable of the Prodigal Sonby Bryan WolfmuellerWe wander through life looking for freedom, only to realize we have listened to the devil's call to serve our selves, our pleasures, and our lusts. Instead of freedom we find ourselves enslaved to sin. We wonder if we have sinned too often, too deep to ever be welcomed back to the Father's home, back into His loving embrace. Have we lost our inheritance as children of God?In this short book, author Bryan Wolfmueller digs into the popular parable of the Prodigal Son to bring hope and aid to our hurting conscience. Wolfmueller proclaims the freedom-giving Gospel that through Jesus' suffering, death, and resurrection, our place in the Father's house is secure, and forgiveness and welcome are ours in His outstretched arms. Fully Free, now available from CPH.
He seeks their willing desire, as Christians, to walk and please God as he had already taught them, and in fact to do so more and more. After the catechism, the Ten Commandments, the Creed, the Lord's Prayer, there is really not more concepts to learn, but we come into the deeper knowledge of these things and of our own weaknesses. When Paul tells them “you know the commandments we gave you through the Lord Jesus” he means the basic teaching that he and Silas taught the Thessalonian church while he was with them. They have been instructed how to live, how to believe, and how to pray, as have we.
Проповедь пастора Федора Тулынина во второе воскресенье Великого Поста (Reminiscere) на чтение Мф. 15:21-28 21 И, выйдя оттуда, Иисус удалился в страны Тирские и Сидонские. 22 И вот, женщина Хананеянка, выйдя из тех мест, кричала Ему: помилуй меня, Господи, сын Давидов, дочь моя жестоко беснуется. 23 Но Он не отвечал ей ни слова. И ученики Его, приступив, просили Его: отпусти её, потому что кричит за нами. 24 Он же сказал в ответ: Я послан только к погибшим овцам дома Израилева. 25 А она, подойдя, кланялась Ему и говорила: Господи! помоги мне. 26 Он же сказал в ответ: нехорошо взять хлеб у детей и бросить псам. 27 Она сказала: так, Господи! но и псы едят крохи, которые падают со стола господ их. 28 Тогда Иисус сказал ей в ответ: о, женщина! велика вера твоя; да будет тебе по желанию твоему. И исцелилась дочь её в тот час.

So it was with the Canaanite woman. Though Jesus seemed to ignore and reject her, she continued to call upon His name and look to Him for help (Mt. 15:21–28). Even when the Lord called her a little dog, she held on to Him in faith and would not let Him wriggle out of His words: “Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table.” This Gentile woman shows herself to be a true Israelite, who struggles with God and man in Christ and prevails. “O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire” (Mt. 15:27–28). This is the sanctifying will of God (1 Thess. 4:1–7)—to test your faith in order that it may be refined and strengthened. For tribulation produces perseverance; perseverance, character; character, hope. And hope in Christ does not disappoint (Rom. 5:1–5). Lectionary summary © 2021 The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod.

Reminiscere means "remember" and on this second Sunday in Lent we want God to remember us as we also remember that He is our only sure help. With the example of the Canaanite woman, we see what it looks like to cling to Christ as one's only help with strong faith. The Psalm of Ascent for today, Psalm 121, teaches to call on God as our only, sure and eternal Help.
Проповедь пастора Федора Тулынина во 2-е воскресенье Великого Поста (Reminiscere) на чтение Мк. 9:17-2917 Один из народа сказал в ответ: Учитель! я привёл к Тебе сына моего, одержимого духом немым:18 где ни схватывает его, повергает его на землю, и он испускает пену, и скрежещет зубами своими, и цепенеет. Говорил я ученикам Твоим, чтобы изгнали его, и они не могли.19 Отвечая ему, Иисус сказал: о, род неверный! доколе буду с вами? доколе буду терпеть вас? Приведите его ко Мне.20 И привели его к Нему. Как скоро бесноватый увидел Его, дух сотряс его; он упал на землю и валялся, испуская пену.21 И спросил Иисус отца его: как давно это сделалось с ним? Он сказал: с детства;22 и многократно дух бросал его и в огонь и в воду, чтобы погубить его; но, если что можешь, сжалься над нами и помоги нам.23 Иисус сказал ему: если сколько-нибудь можешь веровать, всё возможно верующему.24 И тотчас отец отрока воскликнул со слезами: верую, Господи! помоги моему неверию.25 Иисус, видя, что сбегается народ, запретил духу нечистому, сказав ему: дух немой и глухой! Я повелеваю тебе, выйди из него и впредь не входи в него.26 И, вскрикнув и сильно сотрясши его, вышел; и он сделался как мёртвый, так что многие говорили, что он умер.27 Но Иисус, взяв его за руку, поднял его; и он встал.28 И как вошёл Иисус в дом, ученики Его спрашивали Его наедине: почему мы не могли изгнать его?29 И сказал им: сей род не может выйти иначе, как от молитвы и поста.

Textus: Ézs 5,1-7 Dalt éneklek kedvesemről, szerelmesem szőlőjéről. Szőlője volt kedvesemnek kövér hegyoldalon. Fölásta és megtisztította a kövektől, beültette nemes vesszővel. Közepére tornyot emelt, sajtót is vágatott benne. Várta, hogy jó szőlőt teremjen, de az vadszőlőt termett! Most azért, Jeruzsálem lakói és Júda férfiai, tegyetek igazságot köztem és a szőlőm között! Mit kellett volna még a szőlőmmel tenni, amit meg nem tettem? Azt vártam, hogy jó szőlőt terem majd, miért termett mégis vadszőlőt? Megmondom én nektek, most mit teszek szőlőmmel: kerítését lerombolom, hogy lelegeljék, kőfalát kidöntöm, hogy összetiporják! Hagyom, hogy elvaduljon: nem metszik, nem kapálják, fölveri a tövis és a gaz. Megparancsolom a felhőknek is, hogy ne adjanak rá esőt! A Seregek Urának szőlője: Izráelnek háza, és gyönyörű ültetvénye: Júda férfiai. Törvényességre várt, és lett önkényesség, igazságra várt, és lett kiáltó gazság!

In the Gospel text for Reminiscere , the Second Sunday of Lent, Jesus calls a Canaanite woman a dog. As you might imagine, this passage causes a lot of trouble for some Christians. I've even heard one woman try to preach a sermon about this, saying, “Jesus was having a bad day. He lost His temper and…

Old Testament: Gen. 32:22-32 Epistle: 1 Thess. 4:1-7 Gospel: Matt. 15:21-28
Sermon for Reminiscere, the second Sunday in LentTo struggle with God is to see all the circumstances be horrible like God won't keep his promises. Feel like God won't hear, doesn't care, have absolutely nothing good for us that we can tell, and yet still hold on to Him in faith.
The saints of old were accustomed to the idea of wresting with God, but this concept is foreign to our modern ears. Why should I wrestle with God? Doesn't He already want to give me every good thing? It's easy enough to think of Lent as a time of wrestling against the desires of the flesh. But why, on…
