This week Pastor David teaches about the Centurion, who stood at the foot of the cross, who saw Jesus give up his last breath, and who said out loud, “Surely, this man was the son of God.” We’re invited to a deeper understanding of conversion to Christ and the sacrifice is ultimately to follow him.
