The King who Heals

Pastor Sincere Cardona continues in the Gospel of Matthew, picking up in chapter 8 to highlight the healing ministry of Jesus. Focusing on the accounts of the leper and the centurion, he teaches that both men demonstrate sincere faith—faith that trusts in Jesus’ authority to heal. The leper approaches Jesus with reverence and boldness, fully convinced of Jesus’ power but submitting to His will. The centurion, a Roman outsider, astonishes Jesus with his recognition of divine authority, believing Jesus could heal with just a word. Pastor Sincere challenges extremes—those who treat God like a vending machine and those who deny His ongoing power—and calls the church to hold healing in “humble expectation.” Above all, he reminds us that every healing points to the greater wholeness to come, and that the greatest healing is the forgiveness of sin through Christ.
