2/5 :: Jesus saw their faith...
read luke 5:17-26
as you may remember, we will discuss this story four times, each time pausing to look at various aspects of community and friendship that these men share. these men were confident that Jesus Christ had the power to heal their friend. there was no doubt, and they were going to get him to Jesus even if they had to tear the roof off to do so. Riter said that passion is, “the degree of
difficulty we are willing to endure to reach the goal.” if our goal is Jesus, and we really believe that he has the power to change any human life, it should change the way we live our lives and interact with others. there is no situation, addiction, problem, sickness, habit, or sin that he cannot change, and the world is waiting for us to bring them to him.
† pray that God would make us into a community of faith that truly believes that Jesus Christ has the power to change any human life, and is fully devoted to making sure people know that.

Jesus Christ has the power to change any human life. Father, let this Truth permeate the very essence of who we are, as individuals and as a church. Show up in our lives in a very real way, help us to unleash You into all areas of our lives. Father, we desire this to be an accurate description of us - that we truly beleive that You have the power to change any human life. In Jesus' name - AMEN
