Bible Text: Matthew 8:5-13Preacher: Juhan KloosterDuring the sermon on the mount we heard Jesus authoritative teaching, it had such impact that when Jesus finished his sermon the text says; “the crowds were amazed at his teaching, because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.” Next we see Jesus authority in action as Matthew recounts nine miracles where Jesus acts with power and authority. In our passage Jesus meets a gentile Roman Centurion who has a paralysed servant. In the previous chapter the people were amazed by Jesus authority and teaching, in this chapter Jesus is amazed at this man's faith! But what type of faith did this man have? What made it so special? Join us this Sunday as we explore what genuine faith looks like.
