The King We Need – The Gospel of Mark

In this week’s message from Mark 2:1–12, we witness one of Jesus’ most iconic encounters—a moment when a group of bold friends tears through a roof to get their paralyzed friend to Jesus. What happens next shocks the crowd, enrages the religious leaders, and reveals a truth that changes everything: Jesus doesn’t just heal bodies—He forgives sins.

📖 In this message, we’ll unpack:

The radical faith of the men who carried their friend to Jesus

Why forgiveness is harder—and more powerful—than we realize

How Jesus claims divine authority right in the face of opposition

What it means to truly carry someone to Christ in your own life

Why God’s mercy is deeper than His justice—and how that’s really good news

Whether you're feeling stuck spiritually, burdened by guilt, or longing to see your friends encounter Jesus, this message will ignite your faith and remind you that Jesus meets us in our deepest need—and calls us His own.
