In this episode of Bride in Waiting, we dive into the incredible faith of the Roman centurion from Matthew 8:5-13 and Luke 7:1-10. This Gentile officer amazed Jesus—not because of his status, but because of his unwavering belief in Jesus’ authority. Unlike many who sought physical proof, the centurion knew that just one word from Jesus was enough to bring healing.

What made his faith so remarkable? How can we cultivate that same trust in God’s word without needing to see signs or evidence first? We’ll explore the centurion’s understanding of authority, his humility, and how his faith foreshadowed the inclusion of all believers in God’s kingdom.

Join me as we learn what it means to take Jesus at His word and trust Him completely.
