Tuesday

Following Jesus is more than a private belief—it’s a bold, active faith. In Mark 2, four friends refuse to let obstacles keep their paralyzed friend from encountering Jesus. When the crowd blocks the door, they climb the roof, tear it open, and lower him to Jesus. Their faith wasn’t passive. It was persistent, courageous, and sacrificial. This message explores what it means to be the kind of follower who does whatever it takes to clear the way for others to meet Jesus, trusting that once we bring people to His feet, He will do what only He can do.
