Fully Healed, by Mark Pekar

Lead Pastor Jeff Denton continues our series: Live Like Jesus - A Study in the Gospel of Mark. This message in the series is titled "Sharing Burdens is Sharing Faith" and covers Mark 2:1-12. Originally preached at Waterbrook Bible Fellowship on Sunday, October 2, 2022.

Fretting is not good for us. The Bible tells us to “fret not.” But we do it anyway because it feels like others are disrupting our peace. Or we want life to go a certain way. Or it's more important to be what we think is “right” than to be free. All of which leads to anxiety, troubling thoughts, and even rage. This Sunday we will explore what it means to “love what is” based on a book entitled “Loving What Is: Four Questions That Can Change Your Life.” Discover the freedom Jesus wants for all of us!

There's power in living with others.And not just living, but diving into truly authentic relationships and connections.But what happens in community?Why is it so important and necessary?Because community is life changing.In community we carry each others burdens.In community we do work that we need other's help with. In community we bring others closer to Jesus, and we grow closer to Him too.Transformation happens in community.Lives are changed and renewed for His glory.Are you ready to experience this kind of change?#TheBridgeChurch #BridgeGroups #Community #BetweenTwoSundaysSupport the show (http://bit.ly/2NZkdrC)

This sermon was recorded in the chapel during the week as we are not meeting in the building during February.The theme is Getting closer to Jesus and the Bible readings are from Isaiah 55:6-11 and Mark 2:1-12 and Rev Stephen Haward is the preacher.

Is Jesus really accessible? Can He really forgive our sins and change our lives? When Jesus comes back to Capernaum and spends time teaching in the home where He is living, we see just how accessible He really is. Crowds fill the placee to overflowing, and four men show up at this impromptu meeting, bringing their friend who is paralyzed. They literally tear open the roof, interrupting Jesus as He teaches, and lower their friend in so he can be healed! How does Jesus respond? The implications for us are of eternal value!

Perhaps one of the most distinctive, attractive and encouraging messages of Christianity is that “men can be freed from sin and the consequences of it." In Mark 2, the Teachers of the Law were offended that Jesus would forgive the sins of the Paralytic man. Although most commentaries and sermons place emphasis on the authority of Jesus to forgive sins, I invite your attention to an aspect of the text most overlook. VS 12; "he rose immediately picked up his bed and walked before them all, so they were all amazed and glorified GOD."

Mark 2:1-12 Derek McCollum

Reached people reach people.

Reached people reach people.

In Genesis, God creates everything, including man, and lays out what is good for man to see. God then tells the man the consequence of sin, breaking relationship with God: he will die. You sin, you die...simple. In Genesis, God separates for the man what is light and dark, truth and lies. God makes the distinction between life and death for the man. This explanation of what constitutes life and death includes the idea that man is free to live and love God and His creation in any way the man sees as most useful.

Long before Jesus began healing and teaching in Galilee there was a legend about how the city of Rome was founded. The story began with Princess Rhea, the daughter of a king who had been defeated and deposed by his brother. This new king forced Princess Rhea to become a temple priestess so that she would never marry or have a son who would be the rightful heir to the throne. Yet, as a temple priestess she became pregnant by the god, Mars. When Rhea gave birth to twin sons she was imprisoned and the twins, Romulus and Remus, were “exposed.” Exposure was the ancient Roman practice of abandoning unwanted infants, frequently at a temple, where they would die or be taken and raised as slaves. The twins didn’t die, but were nursed by a wolf, fed by a woodpecker, and adopted by a poor shepherd and his wife. The boys became great warriors and restored their grandfather king to his throne. They then built cities on neighboring hills. In a quarrel Romulus killed Remus, thus Romulus’ city thrived and became the city named after him, Rome. In Roman culture the exposure of unwanted infants was a common practice. As a central feature of the story about founding of their city, exposure was not a moral or ethical problem for the people of Rome. As shocking and unnerving as it may be for us, it was a normal part of their culture. As the Gospel of Jesus began to spread and Romans began to follow Jesus, the culture of exposing infants was challenged. Christian churches began picking up and taking in exposed infants. At first, it was believed that Christians where using the infants as part of a cannibalistic ritual, called Communion, where they ate the body and drank the blood of their Messiah. But, then it became revealed that the Christians were raising these abandoned infants, and not even as slaves. They were raising them as free people. In our reading this week Jesus forgave a man of his sins. Then to prove he had the authority to forgive sins Jesus healed the man’s paralysis. When we follow Jesus, we bring spiritual forgiveness and healing into the world. But the world will only recognize spiritual redemption when it is accompanied by physical restoration. In order to offer our friends and neighbors and communities spiritual healing we must step into the realities of the brokenness of their situations with hope and wholeness and restoration.
