    What we can learn from a Centurion about being people who ’amaze’ and please Jesus that we may commit to be like that ourselves to His pleasure and glory!

    Series: Jesus’ Unexpected Heroes “THE FAITHFUL SOLDIER” Sunday, September 6, 2009 AM Perth Bible Church Rev. Todd G. Leupold INTRODUCTION: As we launch a new series, I would like us to consider what does it mean to be a hero? What does or doesn’t make someone a hero in your eyes? Would ...read more

    A first-person dramatic monolouge for Good Friday based on what might have been the thoughts of the centurion guard at the foot of the cross.

    A View From The Cross: “Father, Forgive Them” Good Friday Meditation – 2005 Dr. Bill Nieporte, Pastor, Red Bank Baptist Church Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Claudius.

    This salvation message takes a look at the person of Jesus Christ through the eyes of the Roman Centurion. A powerful testimony of a ruthless man of power who became a changed man of God.

    Matt. 27:54, Mark 15:39, and Luke 23:47 This morning, we want to take these three verses and try to look through the eyes of a hardened man. The centurion was a man who was dedicated to the Roman army. He was the highest ranking soldier that a non commissioned officer could achieve, and as ...read more

    Alone, locked up, and held under guard; it would be natural for Paul to be depressed, fearful, and discouraged by all this. Perhaps he was secretly chastising himself for the commotion he had caused. He had failed and now what about his plans to go....

    SO, WE HAVE TWO THOUGHTS HERE. Jewish Elders tell Jesus this man Is Worthy - Roman Centurions friends tell Jesus that - He Is Not Worthy - Which one is it? - Either he is Worthy or He is Not

    TITLE: JESUS WENT WITH THEM SCRIPTURE: ST. LUKE 7:1-10 Have you ever been in a grocery store and had the privilege of watching a child who does not understand who is in charge?

    Jesus Comes: Jesus Seeks and Saves A new year starts and many folks are already worried about the promises they made just before the new year began. It’s safe to say… we break promises; not because we want to, but because we simply do not have the fortitude to endure through the ...read more

    This sermon was preached on Easter 2002 as I was dressed in a Roman Centurion Soldier costume. I preached the sermon as the soldier that was an eyewitness to the events of the first Easter.

    Easter Sunday 2002; Sermon delivered in Roman Centurion Costume What a strange religion these followers of Jesus Christ profess. Giving their money to the poor, helping the rejected, believing a virgin can have a son, and that a man raised from the dead. That’s the impression we all have when we ...read more

    What was it like to watch Jesus die? It would be great to hear from someone who was there. Let's hear from the centurion in charge of that crucifixion.

    AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS [Monologue – Centurion] Introduction The old spiritual asks the question, “Were you there when they crucified my Lord?” Of course, physically, that is impossible since Jesus died on the cross nearly 2,000 years ago. Yet you do understand that He ...read more

    Certainly -- At A Distance

     | 4,764 views

    For Good Friday: sometimes we no longer see things because we are too close to them. The disciples saw the cross "at a distance", but the centurion saw it through his callousness, cynicism, and skepticism, and affirmed, "Certainly".

    Sometimes when you are too close to something you cannot see it. Or at least you cannot recognize what it is. You can be so close that you do not know what you are looking at. You need somebody else to give you a fresh perspective. My wife and I buy grocery items when they are on ...read more

    The Centurion had purchased his freedom at a great price, but Paul was born free. Our freedom has been purchased at great price by the blood of Jesus Christ.

    Born Free Wednesday, July 2, 2008 By Pastor Jim May Acts 22:25-28, "And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?

    Shouts From The Savior

    The holiness of God recoils from even the smallest sin. When God the Father looked down and saw His Son on the cross, He didn’t see His Son; He saw the sin that He was bearing.

    The Cross of Jesus made a difference for BARABBAS, for THE DYING THIEF, and for the CENTURION. It changed their lives, their direction, and gave them a vision of eternity. Has the Cross of Jesus made a change in your life?

    The Final Hours Of The Lord Jesus -From Golgotha To The Grave (For Now) Series

     | 1,870 views

    The Lord Jesus is in His last moments of agony and pain, both physically and spiritually as He completes His mission of redemption for fallen humanity. It looked on the surface, however, like a victory for his enemies and the devil as He died and was placed in a borrowed tomb, or so it would seem.

    (Adapted from an outline by Mark A. Copeland) Following a night and morning of torture, ridicule, and mockery, Jesus was taken away to be crucified (Mark 14:53-15:25). For six long, horrendous, cruel hours He hung on the cross, and to add insult to injury, He heard the continuing mockery ...read more
