Adrian Rogers was a motivator, an encourager, and a leader of the faith.

He was also passionate about presenting scriptural application to everyday life circumstances,

and you'll hear that in today's message.

Now, let's join Adrian Rogers.

And when he had ended all these sayings in the audience of the people,

he entered into

Copernum, and a certain centurion servant who was dear unto him was sick and ready to die.

And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews beseeching him that he

would come and heal his servant.

And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly saying that he was worthy for whom

he should do this, for he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.

Then Jesus went with them.

And when he was now not far from the house,

the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him,

Lord, trouble not thyself, for I'm not worthy

that thou shouldest enter under my roof.

Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee.

But say in a word, and my servant shall be healed,

for I also am a man set under authority.

Now I want you to understand this verse is the key verse.

For I also am a man set under authority,

having under me soldiers.
