In this short sermon, Paul Woodley reflects on the biblical account of a Roman official whose son was healed by Jesus. He points out that the official exhibited two moments of belief: an initial, surface‑level trust when Jesus told him his son would be well, and a later, deeper conviction when the timing of the healing matched Jesus’ words. Woodley uses this contrast to illustrate the difference between superficial faith and a genuine, transformative belief that recognizes Jesus as the Son of God and Savior with authority to forgive sin. He urges listeners to move beyond merely acknowledging Jesus’ power to truly trusting Him as the source of salvation.

Chapters

We'll unpack that as we go on because I get it. What does that even mean, believe? Remember we talked about that man, the official man, he believed two times. He believed, you know, when Jesus says, go, your son will be well, and he says, there he believed. But then we see later on, right, when he got home and they said, oh, your son is okay, and he said, what time and hour? And they told him, and then he remembered that was the time and hour that Jesus said, go, your son will be well. It says then he believed again. And then all his household was saved. So there is a surface-level belief, and then there's a for-real, for-real belief where you're like, I really believe that this is the Son of God, right? The Savior of the world, the one that has the authority to forgive sin, right?
