About this message

Crowds can make it easy to assume the work is already being done. Someone else will invite. Someone else will reach out. Someone else will carry the burden. But in Mark 2, four friends refuse to leave their hurting friend outside the house where Jesus is teaching. When they cannot get through the door, they go through the roof. Their faith does not stop at good intentions—it moves, lifts, tears, and makes a way.

This week, as we set the table for Easter, we are reminded that people are still searching for light in a dark world, and Jesus is still the One who changes everything. Join us as we discover our responsibility and privilege in bringing people to Him—because when someone gets to the feet of Jesus, forgiveness, healing, and new life are never far behind.
