In Matthew 8, a Roman centurion, an outsider with no religious standing, runs straight to Jesus in his moment of crisis. Jesus calls it the greatest faith he's found in Israel. So why do so many people today run away from the church instead of toward it? In this final message from our "Encounters with Jesus" series, Chris Stockhaus unpacks what made the centurion's faith so remarkable, what current research says about how outsiders view Christians, and what it looks like for a church like Cornerstone to become a place people in need actually want to come to.
