Through his two terms as president, when difficult situations arose, Ronald Reagan would tell one particular story. The point of the story was this: Real treasure is buried in this mess if we are willing to dig to find it. This sermon uses Reagan's story as an analogy that helps us dig for and find the treasure buried within a mystifying exchange between Jesus and a Canaanite woman whose daughter was demon-possessed.

The sermon concludes with some present-day challenges that this "foreigner's" faith presents to our own.
