What if true faith and rest are found in abandonment - not independence?
In this episode of Monday Moments, Travis and Pastor Charlie take a deeper dive into Sunday's message about the Roman centurion who came to Jesus with a simple, childlike faith. The centurion understood the authority and power of Jesus' Word and believed that Jesus didn't even need to come to his home - He only needed to say the word.
Together, they explore what this story teaches us about faith, surrender, Sabbath, and the temptation to rely on ourselves instead of God.
We often carry our fears, anxieties, plans, and endless "what ifs." But what happens when we bring all of those things to Jesus and simply trust Him?
True rest isn't found in controlling our circumstances. It's found in knowing Jesus, trusting His Word, and believing that God has us - even in the middle of trials and uncertainty.
This conversation explores:
• Why we can't manufacture genuine faith through effort or understanding
• The connection between surrender and true rest
• What the Roman centurion teaches us about humility and trust
• Why our "what ifs" don't have to keep us from coming to Jesus
• How prayer and repentance help us turn away from self-reliance
• Why Sabbath is ultimately about drawing closer to Jesus
• How we can learn to rest in God's promises, even when life feels uncertain
The invitation is simple: Come to Jesus. Bring Him your questions, your fears, your doubts, and your "what ifs." Trust Him, listen for His voice, and find your rest in Him.
Our prayer is that this episode of Monday Moments draws you closer to Jesus and reminds you that true nourishment and fruitfulness come from remaining connected to Him.
"Just say the word."
