Title: Blessed is he who is not offended in me
Speaker: Brian Pennington
Date: 8th April 2026
Location: Adelaide, Australia

This episode reflects on how Jesus spoke the truth plainly, even when it offended the religious leaders of His day. In Mark 7 and Matthew 15, the contrast is clear: the Pharisees were committed to outward tradition, while Jesus looked directly at the heart and exposed hypocrisy.  

The message then turns to the Syrophoenician woman, whose persistence and faith stood in sharp contrast to those who rejected the truth. Though tested, she kept pressing toward Jesus, trusting that He alone had the answer. The episode highlights the need to love the truth, stand on the Word of God, and refuse to be offended by the full gospel.  

3 Key Points or Takeaways
Jesus did not soften the truth to avoid offending those who were hardened in tradition.  
Real faith keeps pressing toward the Lord, even when tested.  
The gospel calls for obedience, submission to God’s Word, and a refusal to compromise.
