1. Read Mark 7:24-30.
2. When have you felt like an outsider in a group situation?  What did it make you want to do?
3. Tyre was outside of Israel.  Why do you think that Jesus went to a non-Jewish territory:  Was Jesus trying to dodge the crowds?  Did God have a mission to accomplish in Tyre?  Or both?
4. Were Jesus' words in verse 27 harsh, or were they some kind of play on words?  How does this woman take in (v. 28)?  How is her reply evidence of her faith?
5. What message is Jesus giving by healing the daughter?
6. Jesus walks one hundred miles to heal one person.  How far are you willing to go for one person?
7. Pray for one another....
