Come Follow Me – Week 2 | The Faith Of The Centurion

You can hear it in the excuses, the proud refusals, and the quiet shame: people trying to prove they’re sufficient, promising to follow later, or bargaining for worth before they dare ask. This episode presses into three snapshots from Matthew—an eager scribe, Peter’s incapacitated mother-in-law, and a surprising Roman centurion—to name the everyday tensions of unwillingness, inability, and the feeling of being unworthy. Rather than scolding, the message shows how Jesus meets each posture differently: he cuts through polite piety, heals the helpless, and welcomes the one who admits need. The heart of the talk is simple and startling—grace begins, not us—and that changes what authentic response looks like: not self-reliant striving but humble receiving that leads to service. Listen for the small but daring invitation that shifts where faith really starts.
