Lessons from the Friends

Sam Smith teaches from Mark 2, in which a paralyzed man’s friends lower him through a roof because it was the only way they could get him past the crowds and in front of Jesus. What’s stopping us from doing the same? Maybe we don’t have a paralyzed friend we need to bring to Jesus, but we all have some paralysis in our lives that we need to bring before him.

Jesus was the answer – and his friends knew it! More than that, they knew that sometimes you have to do more than just show up. Lastly, they knew they had to give him to God.
