Luke 7:6-10 I want to welcome you back to part two of what we began last week. So, you wanna grab your Bibles and turn over to Luke 7 and let’s finish the story of the Faith of the Centurion. We’re going to start here, as we do, by reading the account, I’ll provide a short review, and then we’ll pick up the story in verse 6. But first, let’s, let’s just read it together.
