Find out how you can embrace the good work God is doing in you and others in this eye-opening message!
More from Answers with Bayless Conley
Is it possible to worship God outwardly, yet still have a heart that's far from Him? In "Worthless Worship and a Woman with Great Faith," Pastor Bayless shows you how man-made ideas and traditions can too often replace God's Word—resulting in worship that is empty and without power. He then contrasts that with the Syrophoenician woman whose faith refused to quit. You'll see what real faith looks like as she hears, acts, persists, worships, and ultimately takes Jesus at His word. Be challenged to examine what is shaping your faith—and how you respond to God's truth.
