This Week’s Sermon: “Faith That Amazes”
In Luke 7:1-17, Jesus encounters two people who couldn’t be more different—a Roman centurion, a man of power and influence, and a widow in Nain, a woman with no status and no advocate. Despite their differences, Jesus responds to both with compassion, healing, and amazement.
The Roman centurion’s deep trust in Jesus leads him to say, “Lord, just say the word, and my servant will be healed.” And Jesus is amazed by his faith. Meanwhile, the widow doesn’t even ask for help, yet Jesus sees her pain and restores her son to life.
This passage challenges us to ask:
👉 Would our faith amaze Jesus?
👉 Do we trust in His power, even when we don’t feel worthy?
👉 Are we paying attention to those in need, just as Jesus did?
I look forward to exploring these questions with you on Sunday. Whether you join us in person or online, let’s worship together and grow in a faith that amazes.
Upcoming Event: Church Board Commissioning – February 16th
On Sunday, February 16th, we will be commissioning our newest church board members and taking time to reintroduce our full church board to the congregation. This will be a special moment to bless and affirm those who are stepping into leadership as we continue working together to serve our community and live out our mission.
Grace and peace,
