This episode is the personal testimony of Micah, a 42-year-old former Jehovah's Witness, detailing his life within the organization, his subsequent departure, and his journey toward recovery and self-redefinition. Born into the religion to parents with significant personal trauma, Micah's childhood was defined by a "constant white knuckle paralytic terror" of Armageddon. His life was marked by a series of compounding traumas, including the death of his father at age 13, a profound lack of emotional support from his family and congregation, and severe mental health struggles leading to multiple suicide attempts. Micah's narrative illustrates a cyclical pattern of rejection, self-destructive behavior, and attempts to conform to the group's expectations, resulting in two instances of being disfellowshipped. He describes feeling like a "non-entity," with his authentic self—expressed through writing, art, and comedy—consistently suppressed. The breaking point came during the COVID-19 pandemic, which, coupled with escalating substance abuse and a final confrontation with an elder, led to his arrest, incarceration, and subsequent homelessness. His recovery began in a halfway house where he identified the recovery program, Alcoholics Anonymous, as another high-control group with cult-like tactics. This realization prompted a period of intense deconstruction, where he researched cult dynamics and logical fallacies, leading to the definitive conclusion that he was raised in a cult. By reclaiming his identity through his lifelong passion for writing, Micah published a series of books, starting with his memoir Mentally Diseased. This creative process was the catalyst for rebuilding his life, paying off debt, establishing a new community, and finding a sense of empowerment. His story is a powerful account of the damaging effects of high-control groups and the potential for profound personal transformation through authentic self-expression.

Last Sunday was a wonderful start to our campaign series, FOR the ONE! Pastor Jeff shared why we are doing this campaign and what it truly means to have a “One.” Every believer in Christ has at least one person in their life who doesn't yet know Jesus—whether that's a family member, coworker, friend, or neighbor. As followers of Christ, our desire should be for every nonbeliever to experience a personal relationship with Him. Pastor Jeff challenged us to identify our One and begin praying intentionally for them.This episode, we have another exciting message as we continue our FOR the ONE series— we also celebrate Baptism Sunday! Baptism is a public declaration of one's decision to accept Christ as Lord and Savior and a beautiful step of obedience in faith. Pastor Jeff also shares the powerful story of the Paralytic and how he came to be healed by Christ through the influence of his friends.--For the ONEWebsiteFacebookInstagramSunday SetlistConnect with us!How can we prayer for you?

Matthew chapter 9 verses 1 thru 9 will be the focus of our study with Dr. Mitchell in this lesson.As we heard, Jesus, once again passed over the sea of Galilee to his own city. When He arrived, some people brought a paralytic to Him. So Jesus tells the man, Your sins are forgiven. Jesus, being omniscient, knew the evil thinking in the hearts of the scribes who were accusing Jesus of blasphemy. So, it was necessary for our Lord to demonstrate His authority to forgive sins. That is just what He did before them all.In verse 9 Matthew writes of his own call from Jesus to follow Him. Matthew, sitting at the tax booth, arose and followed Jesus. As a result, you and I are reading his gospel right now.Here's Dr. Mitchell, Matthew 9:1-9 on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

Mark 2:1-12

Dan talks about opportunities this Fall at PCOM and tells one of his favorite Bible stories

# Our Mission: Making Friends In this first week of our new series on "Our Mission," we explore the profound theme of friendship within the church community. Drawing from biblical narratives, we discuss how the church can address the pervasive loneliness in our world today by fostering genuine friendships. ## Key Biblical Passages - **Job 1:1** - The story of Job, a man of integrity who faced immense suffering. - **Mark 2:1-12** - The account of the paralytic man and his friends who brought him to Jesus. ## The Mission of the Church The mission of the church is to free people from their "grave clothes," symbolizing the vestments of a life bound by sin, and to help them live the victorious life offered by Jesus. This mission is encapsulated in our church's approach: **making friends, meeting needs, and making disciples**. ### Making Friends The concept of a "God-shaped hole" in every human heart is well-known, but Pastor Chris introduces another critical void: the "human-shaped hole." God designed us to be enriched and fulfilled through human relationships, as evidenced in the creation narrative where God declared it "not good for man to be alone" (**Genesis 2:18**). ### The Epidemic of Loneliness Despite being the most connected generation, society suffers from an epidemic of loneliness. Statistics reveal that 30% of people experience extreme loneliness, with young adults aged 18-24 being the loneliest group. This loneliness leads to various societal issues, including lower educational performance and higher crime rates, as noted by Robert Putnam in his book, *Bowling Alone*. ### Friendship in Community Friendship takes on different forms throughout our lives, but true friendship is marked by the ability to call on someone in times of need. The church is called to fill the "human-shaped hole" by being a community where anyone can find friendship and support. ## Lessons from Biblical Friendships ### Job's Friends Initially, Job's friends demonstrated true friendship by simply being present with him in his suffering (**Job 2:11-13**). However, they later failed by offering judgmental sermons instead of compassionate support, focusing on the reasons for Job's suffering rather than seeking resolution. ### The Paralytic's Friends In contrast, the paralytic's friends in **Mark 2:1-12** exemplified true friendship by prioritizing resolution over reasons. They went to great lengths to bring their friend to Jesus, demonstrating faith and compassion without seeking recognition for themselves. ## Maxims of Friendship 1. **Resolution Over Reasons**: Focus on helping rather than analyzing the cause of someone's predicament. 2. **Service Over Sermons**: Offer practical support and understanding rather than judgment. 3. **Compassion Over Comparison**: Show genuine empathy without comparing oneself to others. ## Conclusion The church is entrusted with the mission of making friends to combat loneliness and establish credibility for the gospel message. By embodying these principles, we can point others to Jesus, who fills the deepest needs of the heart. As a church, let us commit to being a community where friendship and support are readily available, fulfilling our mission to make disciples through love and service.

"Walking with the Master" Series Mark 2:1-12

Everything is Awesome! James 5:10-20; St. Matthew 9:1-8 (Riffing on St. Peter Chrysologus) Over the last few homilies, I have tried to share an approach to living that looks for the good, and the beautiful, and the true in all things so that we might have joy in them and nurture them towards greater glory.  Today, I am going to continue this lesson by applying it to scripture.  Of course, in this case we are not nurturing scripture to greater glory, but we always grow in our appreciation of its goodness, beauty, and truth so that those virtues might grow within us. Let's go through today's Gospel reading. This story starts out so mundanely, with Christ entering the boat, crossing the sea, and coming to his town.  But even in, this there is something to learn, something that should leave us in awe. This is the God who has complete mastery over all the elements, over all of time and space.  Why does he cross the sea in this way – surely the hosts of heaven, at the very least, could have born him to his destination? As St. Peter Chrysologus teaches us the way that he juxtaposes the material with the spiritual and the mundane with the glorious; Christ came to take up our infirmities, and to confer his own power upon us; to experience human things, to bestow divine ones; to accept insults, to return honors; to endure what is irksome, and to restore health, because a doctor who does not bear infirmities does not know how to cure; and the one who has not been a fellow patient is unable to confer health. To summarize St. Gregory of Nazianzus; that part of humanity that God did not accept or assume, cannot be saved.  There were no shortcuts for our salvation.  God became man and lived according to our infirmity (in everything but sin). Therefore, he endured these limitations so that he would be shown to be true man by these human limitations. Do you see how much beauty here? We go on to read that he entered the boat. He entered a boat?  Sure you see where we are going with this!  We know these truths, but do we ever slow down and just bask in their glory? What is the boat but the Church?  Again, let's listen to St. Peter Chrysologus; Christ always enters the boat of his Church to calm the waves of the world, so that he might lead those who believe in him tranquilly across to his heavenly homeland, and make citizens of his own city those whom he made sharers in his humanity. Therefore, Christ does not need the ship, but the ship needs Christ, because without a Pilot from heaven the ship of the Church is unable to pass through the sea of the world amid so many grave perils and reach heaven's harbor. We have talked about the sea and the boat; what about his destination? How can we not be amazed that the Creator and Lord over all the cosmos, for the sake of our salvation; … began to have a human homeland, began to be a citizen of a Jewish town, and he himself the Parent of all parents began to have parents, in order that his love might invite, his charity attract, his affection bind, and his kindness persuade those whom his sovereign might had put to flight, dread had scattered, and the force of his power had made exiles. I cannot tell you how often I passed over these words as if they were filler between the really important things in the narrative.  How often do we do this not just with scripture, but with life?  Every moment, every detail of life is precious, brimming with meaning and potential.  But we skip over this invitation to joy, to glory, because we are looking or waiting for greater things.  My brothers and sisters, in a world that has been infused with the divine, everything is steeped in magnificence. And so, we finally get to the meat of the story; He came to his own town, and they brought him a paralytic lying on a bed. And when Jesus saw their faith, it says, he said to the paralytic: “Have confidence, son! Your sins are forgiven you” (vv. 1–2). While the point about God having the power to forgive sins, and Him choosing to exercise that power as man, as the new Adam, thus setting the scene for giving that power to us as the new humanity in Him; while all that may be obvious, or if not obvious, certainly provides the grist for most homilies on this passage…. There are details that we often pass over and that deserve our attention.  Jesus saw their faith… Their faith… not the faith of the paralytic.  St. Peter points out that the faith of the infirm is often unreliable – the mind of the infirm is often delirious – and so “he does not examine all the senseless desires of the infirm, but he comes to help thanks to someone else's faith, so that he may grant through grace alone, and not deny, whatever is of the divine will.” What a beautiful thing is the love of the Lord for all of us in our delirium!  And, when we are thinking straight, and thus concerned more for the ill and infirm among us as ourselves – he brings his mercy and forgiveness to those we bring to him!  Do you see how great this is?  When we pray for others, it does not fall on deaf ears but on ears that are always ready to hear and respond.  And who is more ill among us than the spiritually or even physically injured or dead?  And yet He teaches us, through this example from His life and from the way His Spirit has guided our worship and prayer to pray for all, and most especially for those who cannot pray or act for themselves.  Lord hear our prayer! And, just to make sure you appreciate the goodness evident here, take a moment to appreciate the paralysis and incapacitation of our own minds and thus appreciate why it is that the prayers of the prayers of the righteous avail so much!  They bring our paralyzed souls into the presence of God and plead for our healing before Him. And to all this, the Pharisees responded: He blasphemes: for who can forgive sins except God alone? (v. 3) 6. And when Jesus had seen their thoughts, it says, he said to them: “Why do you think evil in your hearts? What is easier to say: your sins are forgiven you, or to say: stand up and walk? But so that you may know that the Son of Man has power to forgive sins”—he then said to the paralytic: “Stand up, pick up your bed, and go home.” And he stood up and went home (vv. 4–7). Pick up your bed, that is, “Carry what used to carry you, reverse the burden, so that what is a testimony to your infirmity may be a proof that you are healed; so that the bed of your pain may be evidence that I cured you; so that the amount of its weight may attest to the amount of strength you have regained.” Go home, to the place that you belong – our heart's true home.  The place that is where we can grow in glory.  The place that is for the believer – every single place, because every single place, like every single moment, is connected with the divine source of all beautiful, good, and true.   Peter Chrysologus, Selected Sermons of Saint Peter Chrysologus, ed. Thomas P. Halton, trans. William B. Palardy, vol. 2, The Fathers of the Church (Washington, DC: The Catholic University of America Press, 2004), 193–197.
