連續兩週，都在英語團契帶專題，真是受寵若驚。不過，秉持著對於服事不隨意推辭的原則，當Susie需要救火隊時，我是當仁不讓地。
於是繼8/4「你很特別」專題之後，8/11呈現的是馬太福音8章的兩個故事--耶穌醫治痲瘋病人與百夫長的僕人。

Story2: The Faith of the Centurion (Matthew 8:5-13, Luke 7:1-10)
Who came to Jesus? The centurion and his friends.
What did they do? They asked Jesus to heal the servant
How did the centurion value about the servant? very high.
What did the Centurion say? Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed. 9 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
How did Jesus feel when He heard the centurion’s words? astonished, amazed.
What did Jesus say to the centurion? Go! Let it be done just as you believed it would.
Do you believe that God answers prayers only when you believe in Him?
How big is your faith?
成為你所相信的(活出美好)
Why do we need to obey God?
Who are have authorities over you?
Do you obey your authorities?
But you are a chosen group of people. You are the King’s religious leaders. You are a holy nation. You belong to God. He has done this for you so you can tell others how God has called you out of darkness into His great light. 1 Peter 2:9
惟 有 你 們 是 被 揀 選 的 族 類 ， 是 有 君 尊 的 祭 司 ， 是 聖 潔 的 國 度 ， 是 屬 神 的 子 民 ， 要 叫 你 們 宣 揚 那 召 你 們 出 黑 暗 入 奇 妙 光 明 者 的 美 德 。彼 得 前 書 2:9
