Message: The Gospel According to Matthew

Text: Matthew 8:1-13

Will You?

Similarities: Both believed Jesus can, recognizing His authority; Both asked; Both were desperate, unable to help themselves or others; Both were outcasts from Jewish society.

Differences: The leper was asking for himself, the centurion for someone else; Jesus touched the leper, but spoke for the centurion/servant.

Desperation changes your prayer life.

When Jesus says no.

2 Corinthians 12:8-9
