Remarkable Faith through Friendship
Rev. T. Crowe
Key Verse(s): Luke 5:16-26 / Memory Verse(s): Luke 5:24
Key Points & Principles (Luke 5:1-26):
In Jesus, we understand:
• God desires to use sinners transforming them for His Kingdom purposes;
• God desires to heal and cleanse the religiously deemed unclean that brings them closer to Himself in His place of Worship and His blessings;
• God primarily desires to forgive us from our sins to establish eternal peace and reconciliation with Him.
-Faithful friends invite their friends to meet Jesus.
Abiding in the Word & Growing in the Way
How did God speak specifically to you through today’s message? What did you learn about Jesus? What did you learn about the faith of the four friends? How did their faith impact their paralytic friend?
Listening Prayer
1. Ask the Lord if there are any obstacles trying to limit you from drawing closer to Jesus. If so, what are some wise ways to remove such obstacles?
2. Ask the Lord if there is someone you should approach this week to help draw them closer to Jesus (eg. pray with them, an invitation to a church event, Sunday service, etc.).
God Bless!
