Luke: Living with the Christ
Sometime around middle of the first century, a physician by the name of Luke began interviewing the men and women who had witnessed the life and ministry of Jesus. He wrote a careful account of everything he learned, and these accounts became our New Testament books known as the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles. Over the next few months we’ll be exploring this remarkable book with the goal of answering a most important question: Who was this Jesus, the man who was called the Christ?
Today’s notes
“Amazing Right” | Pastor Sam Gyorfi | February 15th, 2026
A song of ascents.
1 Out of the depths I cry to you, Lord;
2 Lord, hear my voice.
Let your ears be attentive
to my cry for mercy.
3 If you, Lord, kept a record of sins,
Lord, who could stand?
4 But with you there is forgiveness,
so that we can, with reverence, serve you.
5 I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits,
and in his word I put my hope.
6 I wait for the Lord
more than watchmen wait for the morning,
more than watchmen wait for the morning.
7 Israel, put your hope in the Lord,
for with the Lord is unfailing love
and with him is full redemption.
8 He himself will redeem Israel
from all their sins.
The Faith of the Centurion
7 When Jesus had finished saying all this to the people who were listening, he entered Capernaum. 2 There a centurion’s servant, whom his master valued highly, was sick and about to die. 3 The centurion heard of Jesus and sent some elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and heal his servant. 4 When they came to Jesus, they pleaded earnestly with him, “This man deserves to have you do this, 5 because he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.” 6 So Jesus went with them.
He was not far from the house when the centurion sent friends to say to him: “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. 7 That is why I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant will be healed. 8 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.”
9 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel.” 10 Then the men who had been sent returned to the house and found the servant well.
Themes: People were regularly amazed by Jesus. But sometimes, Jesus was amazed by people he came across in his ministry. What sort of things was Jesus looking for? What amazed Jesus? We will discuss themes of faith, trust, and hope in Jesus.

Worship all week
At our core, we are passionate, engaged, and willing. What we do certainly involves Sunday worship, but it’s also about worship all week long in the form of discipleship, service, fellowship, and care.
