“Whatever it Takes”                                                            10-02-05

Luke 5:18-20 Some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a sleeping mat. They tried to push through the crowd to Jesus, ¹⁹but they couldn't reach him. So they went up to the roof, took off some tiles, and lowered the sick man down into the crowd, still on his mat, right in front of Jesus. ²⁰Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the man, "Son, your sins are forgiven."

Do you care about people who don’t know Jesus?

What obstacles are you willing to overcome?

Are you willing to work with others to get the job done?

Do you believe God can reach the person?
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Do you have the courage to do something different?

Are you willing to make a plan?

John 1:10 But although the world was made through him, the world didn't recognize him when he came.

 

Philippians 2:5-8 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant,  being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death— even death on a cross!

 

“Dear God, I want a real relationship with you. I realize that I have sinned against you and been my own boss.  I turn from my sin to you, and ask you to forgive me.  Jesus, I know that you died for me and rose again.  So I ask you into my life, as my leader. I accept the forgiveness that you freely give. Thank you for dying for me.  Help me now to live for you. Amen.”
