SERMONS

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine,
for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man
of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works."
-- 2 Timothy 3:16-17

The Next Step Life Group Follow-Up
  • What was a high, and a low of your week?
  • What’s something from Mark 2:1-12 you found important, meaningful, or confusing?
  • Read Isaiah 53:1-5. Some Christians take this passage (and Mark 2:1-12) as proof that those who have faith in Christ will be healed in this world. Do you agree with this assessment? Why or why not?
  • How was it possible for Jesus to see the faith of the paralyzed man’s friends? How does their example relate to Christ followers today?
  • Read Hebrews 10:14. How has Jesus’ authority to forgive all your sin shaped your life lately?
  • What’s a way offering sincere thanks to God can affect our witness to others?
  • What’s a specific way you can respond to Mark 2:1-12? Pray for one another?
