Wisdom's Kids
Pastor Jamie Self - 3/15/2026
Jesus demonstrates divine authority through the healing of the centurion’s servant, the raising of the widow’s son, and the signs of the kingdom that confirm his identity as the promised Messiah. The passage reveals that true faith recognizes Christ’s authority, receives God’s kingdom with repentance, and lives in obedience that reflects God’s wisdom in everyday life. Wisdom is justified by her children as believers trust Jesus, embrace repentance, and practice love, forgiveness, and faithful obedience that display the goodness of God’s way.
