## Resource

Pastor Kurt Johnston wraps up our final week of Jesus on the Move, walking through Jesus’ healing of the paralytic man in Mark 2. When all else fails, a group of friends asks, “what if Jesus could?” and stops at nothing to get their friend in front of Him. When the crowd blocks the way, they push through, lower their friend down, and create a moment that changes everything. This story reminds us that faith sets the stage for God to move in us and through us. Every opportunity for faith comes with obstacles, but while the barriers are real, they don’t have the final say. God is with us, walking us through each one. We also see that what feels messy or unexpected to us is often the very place Jesus invites us to trust Him more. If you’ve been waiting for the right moment, this message is your invitation to trust Him and take your next step.
