In this week's message, Pastor Rick explored the powerful story of the Roman centurion's extraordinary faith from Matthew 8. Through this narrative, he highlighted three types of God-established authority - parental, civil, and spiritual - and their two main purposes: protection and direction. Pastor Rick emphasized how the centurion's humble recognition of Jesus' ultimate authority served as a model for all believers. He stressed the importance of respecting authority while also leading with humility when in positions of authority ourselves. The sermon concluded with practical guidance on discerning God's voice through Scripture, circumstances, counsel, prayer, and authority figures
