Jesus left that place and went to the area around Tyre. He went into a house and did not want anyone to know he was there. But Jesus could not stay hidden. A woman heard that he was there. Her little daughter had an evil spirit in her. So the woman quickly came to Jesus and fell at his feet. She was not Jewish. She was Greek, born in Phoenicia, in Syria. She begged Jesus to force the demon out of her daughter. Jesus told the woman: “It is not right to take the children’s bread and give it to the dogs. First let the children eat all they want.” She answered, “That is true, Lord. But the dogs under the table can eat the pieces of food that the children don’t eat.” Then Jesus said, “That is a very good answer. You may go. The demon has left your daughter.” The woman went home and found her daughter lying in bed. The demon was gone.

In Mark 5–7, we see Jesus and the disciples “zig-zagging” back and forth across Lake Galilee. The disciples must have felt disoriented with all the movement, but Jesus was clearly in charge of their itinerary. He seems to be on a purposeful mission, and none of his encounters with people are accidental or unanticipated. This five-day series will explore some encounters, particularly Jesus’ missional words and actions.

Life presents so many individuals with numerous challenges. One may feel that God has called them for a special purpose but aren’t sure what to do or how God’s plan will unfold. In the Determined to Follow Jesus Bible plan readers will discover in scripture accounts where individuals were determined to follow Jesus in their uncertainties and how their obedience and faith produced victorious results.
Inspired by ‘the toilet table’ in a popular British sitcom, this plan is themed around different tables from both modern culture and the Bible. It examines what it’s like having your feet firmly planted under God’s table. God’s table is one where all are welcomed and all can find community, joy, forgiveness, and feasting. Each daily devotion is a tale of two tables - one which doesn’t represent God’s table well, and one which strongly does. If you don’t like the table you are currently sitting at, be encouraged that God is able to turn the tables!
