Great Faith | 4-15-18

Summary

The sermon explores the concept of great faith through the examples of the Roman centurion in Matthew 8 and the Canaanite woman in Matthew 15, both praised by Jesus for their remarkable faith. Key characteristics of great faith include interceding on behalf of others, recognizing one's unworthiness before God, and trusting fully in God's power and authority without hinging faith on the outcome. The preacher emphasizes that faith is a gift from God, implanted at the new birth, and not something generated by human effort. Believers are encouraged to cultivate such faith, trusting in God's sovereign grace regardless of circumstances.
