Faith Victorious - A Spurgeon Sermon on Matthew 15:21–28

In this sermon on Matthew 15:21–28, Charles Spurgeon illustrates the power of steadfast faith through the story of the Canaanite woman seeking help for her daughter. Though she faced silence, discouragement, and apparent rejection, she refused to let go of her confidence in Christ’s mercy.

The woman’s humility, persistence, and confidence in Christ’s mercy serve as a model for all who seek Him. Though she was an outsider to Israel’s covenant blessings, her faith made her a partaker of grace and brought the Savior’s commendation: “O woman, great is thy faith.”

This sermon was preached on July 25, 1886, and is found in Volume 42 of the Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit.

But she did not give up in despair; there is the point, she still had faith in him, and when there was nothing for her ear to hear, there was still something for her heart to believe." — CH Spurgeon
