FINDING THE FAITH!

FINDING THE FAITH!


TODAY-we read about-
The FAITH of the CENTURION=
A man of gigantic faith


Do you? Do I?=have that
SORT of faith


A centurion comes to Jesus
And asks Jesus to come and
HEAL HIS SERVANT


Jesus wants to come and
HEAL HIM


But the centurion REPLIES:
“Lord-I am NOT WORTHY
To have you
ENTER under my roof;


ONLY say the word
And my servant
WILL BE HEALED” Matthew 8:8


Jesus becomes amazed and says=
“Truly-I tell you=I have NOT FOUND
Anyone in Israel
With such great faith” Matthew 8:10


You and I need to FIND
That FAITH=will Jesus find
The faith of the centurion
In you and me=as WE SEARCH
For MIRACLES to our life's problems?


Maybe we need a HEALING
For a relative or friend
With stage IV cancer


Or maybe we or a family member
Are searching for a new job


Or maybe=just maybe=we are
TRING to HEAL from a
Past relationship=and FIND LOVE again


WHERE is our miracle?
Where is our FAITH?


“If you do not stand FIRM
In your faith
You will
NOT STAND at all” Isaiah 7:9


“He replied:
'Because you have so little faith=
Truly I tell you


IF you have faith
As small as a mustard seed
You can say to this mountain


'MOVE from here to there'
And it will move


NOTHING is IMPOSSIBLE with God” Matthew 17:20-21


FINDING THE FAITH!


It is important to REALIZE
That Jesus is ALWAYS with us
In this world


Maybe that suffering loved one=
Ends in a PEACEFUL DEATH


Maybe we find
That new career


And maybe=just maybe=that
Heartbreaking ending=
PREPARES us for a new relationship


MIRACLES come in
Different shapes and sizes


“You are the God
Who PERFORMS MIRACLES


You display your power
Among the peoples” Psalm 77:14


Dear Lord=as we repeat the
CENTURION'S PRAYER TODAY


Help us to BELIEVE=even
When we cannot see


FINDING THAT FAITH!


In the names of Jesus and his heavenly FATHER=amen
