Synopsis

Catherine Neal continues our slow roll through the Gospel according to Luke with a look at a fascinating story about a paralyzed man crowded out — and his friends’ desperate attempt to get him to Jesus.

In this sermon, you'll learn:

• The significance of friends who carry a paralyzed man to Jesus
• How busyness can hinder us from accessing the Lord
• That Jesus responds to the faith of others, not just the person in need of healing
• The power of standing in the gap and interceding for our friends
• The importance of offering compassionate presence
• The role of prayer and petitions in bringing restoration and healing
• The impact of faith-filled and faithful friendships
• The potential for unexpected friendships to develop in unexpected places
• The beauty of friendships that catalyze growth and spiritual transformation
