• Speaker: Bryant Bailles
• Summary: There are only a whopping two times in the gospels when Jesus takes note of a living person's remarkable faith, and it is in these two stories of the centurion and a Canaanite woman. She is certainly a Gentile and the Roman soldier is quite possibly a Gentile also, which sticks out like a sore thumb, since it was the Jews that should be the examples of faith.
• Passage: Matthew 8:5-13, 15:21-28
