Miracles (Part 3)

Matthew 8:5-13

Sunday, June 8, 2025

A centurion—a leader of the hated Roman military—comes to Jesus to seek healing for his servant. Not only does Jesus heal the servant, but he also praises the centurion's faith, saying it's greater than any he has seen even in Israel. As is so often the case, a miracle becomes an opportunity for Jesus to demonstrate the nature and purpose of his ministry.

Current Series: Miracles

Some of the most memorable moments of Jesus's life and ministry are his miraculous deeds—actions that awed crowds and set people to talking far beyond the Galilean countryside. Sometimes we treat these events as mere spectacle: raw demonstrations of God's power and proof of the Christ's divine origins. But there is so much more to these stories. They convey nothing short of the very heart and will of God, and through them we glimpse the greatest miracle of all: God's care and concern for this world and everyone in it.
