The Gospel of Mark-Healing a Paralytic.

South Side Baptist ChurchAbbeville, South CarolinaPastor Joel BradberryMay 31, 2026Sunday AM Servicesouthsideabbeville.comSermon Notes:I. The Setting (17)II. Paralytic delivered (18-20)III. Pharisees and lawyers' reaction (21)IV. Misperceptions addressed (22-24)Son of ManDaniel 7:13-14V. Proclamation proven (25)VI. People's reaction (26)Who do we most relate to?Is my illness linked to my sin?

In this episode of Made to be a Kingdom, Fathers Anthony Perkins and Harry Linsenbigler explore how Pascha functions as the Church's great “reset,” reordering the liturgical year and illuminating the rhythm of Scripture and worship. Beginning with the proclamation of the Word in Gospel of John and the witness of Acts of the Apostles, they trace how the Church reads the Resurrection through the weeks of Paschaltide, culminating in Ascension and Pentecost. The conversation highlights how the healing narratives—such as the Paralytic, the Samaritan Woman, and the Man Born Blind—reveal the Resurrection already at work in the life of the faithful. Grounded in hymnography and liturgical practice, this episode offers a pastoral and theological guide to living the “fifty days” as a sustained participation in the light and life of the risen Christ. Enjoy the show!

On the Sunday of the Paralytic, this homily explores Christ's piercing question: "Do you want to be made well?" It examines our tendency to respond not with repentance, but with explanation—justifying our condition rather than opening ourselves to healing. Grounded in the Church's therapeutic vision of salvation, it calls us to move beyond self-justification and into obedience, where Christ's command becomes the source of our transformation.  Enjoy the show!  --- Homily for the Sunday of the Paralytic John 5:1–15; Acts 9 Christ is risen! What effect do you have on others? Is it like St. Peter's? Do you walk in the midst of broken people, bringing them healing? Do others, recognizing the peace within you, go out of their way just to be near you? Have you attained even a small measure of the purity and goodness—the peaceful spirit—that, as St. Seraphim of Sarov teaches, becomes the salvation of thousands? These are important indicators—ways to examine how we are doing in this walk of salvation. Some of them are internal and relatively easy to observe: How do I react to praise? How do I respond to criticism? How quick am I to anger, to despondency, to lust? But here is another indicator—an external one: How do people react to us? Do they find peace when we enter the room, or when we leave it? We need to be honest about this. When it comes to the things that truly matter—in our lives, in our families, in this parish, and in the great story of our salvation—we are always moving in one of two directions: either we are cooperating with grace, with healing, or we are cooperating with corruption. St. Peter, glory to God, became a man who cooperated fully with healing. But that was not always the case. There was a time when he was driven by pride, fear, and the expectations of others. By the time we meet him in Acts, however, he is no longer just occasionally doing what is right. He has been transformed. He has become the kind of person through whom Christ works. In today's Gospel, we see the beginning of such a transformation. The paralytic had been suffering for thirty-eight years—thirty-eight years of waiting, hoping, and being unable to heal himself. We can hardly imagine the weight of that suffering. And what does Christ ask him? "Do you want to be made well?" It is a strange question. In some ways, it is obvious—he is lying by the pool, waiting for healing. And yet we must name the desire. Not everyone who is sick truly wants to be healed. Notice how the paralytic responds. He does not answer the question directly. Instead, he explains his situation. He explains why he has not been healed. "I have no man… When the water is stirred, someone else steps down before me…" We recognize this, don't we? This is how we often respond to God—not with repentance, not with surrender, but with explanation. We explain why we are the way we are. We explain why change is so difficult. We explain why our situation is unique. Much of what we say is not wrong. But it is not healing. It does not open us to grace. St. John Chrysostom, reflecting on this passage, notes that Christ does not wait for a perfect answer, nor does He require a full confession before acting. But neither does He accept the man's explanations as sufficient. Instead, He goes directly to what is needed—not explanation, but transformation. Christ commands the man to do what he cannot do, and in the command itself, He gives the power to obey. This is where we must be careful. When the soul is disordered, it does not remain neutral. It becomes a source of distortion—not only for ourselves, but for others. The problem is not simply "out there." The problem begins within. And the great difficulty of living in this world is that it teaches us to normalize this condition. It calls distortion authenticity. It calls self-justification wisdom. But the Church is not here to affirm our condition. The Church is here to heal it. The Church is a hospital. But what good is a hospital if those within it refuse to be healed? What kind of peace can we offer if we are at war within ourselves—and with one another? It is very easy to remain in this disordered state. Our instincts are not neutral; they are wounded. And our minds—brilliant as they are—often serve those instincts rather than correcting them. We use our intelligence to justify our condition instead of correcting it. The mind becomes a kind of spokesman, explaining why we are the way we are and why it is acceptable. We justify our anger. We excuse our selfishness. We baptize our pride. Scripture gives us clear examples. Ananias and Sapphira likely thought themselves generous. Simon Magus likely convinced himself that he wanted spiritual power for good reasons. But their self-justifications did not save them. The truth exposed them. The same danger exists for us. We are always moving—toward healing or toward corruption. And over time, we will become more of one than the other. I know you. I love you. You want to be part of the solution. That is why you are here. But wanting to be healed is not the same as being healed. Wanting to be good is not enough. The paralytic had desire—but he still could not heal himself. You were created good, and you are called to become more fully what you were created to be. But you are not there yet. Neither am I. So how are we healed? There is only One who heals. Christ does not argue with the man. He does not analyze his situation. He does not accept or refute his explanations. He commands: "Rise, take up your bed, and walk." And in that command, there is power. This is the heart of the matter: Healing does not come from explanation. Healing comes from obedience. So how do we learn from the living Christ? The answer is not new. We give our lives—our bodies, our minds, our souls—to Him and to His Church. We pray. We enter into the Liturgy. We love our neighbors sacrificially. We learn from the Fathers. We seek wise counsel. We quiet ourselves so that we can hear. Not because Orthodoxy is simply a system, but because this is where Christ is—healing, teaching, restoring. The paralytic could not heal himself. Neither can we. But Christ can. And He does. If we stop explaining, stop justifying, and begin obeying, then—and only then—will we become not part of the problem, but part of the healing. Christ is risen!

Mark 2:1-17 “Faith That Brings People to Jesus” 1. Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralytic (v.1-12) 2. The Calling of Matthew a Tax Collector (v.13-17)

JESUS THE HEALER  (Matthew 8:1-17)   I. A Leper is Healed; vs.1-4 II. A Paralytic is Healed; vs.5-13 III. A Sick Woman is Healed; vs.14-15 IV. Many are Healed; vs.16-17   Jesus shows the power of God and the heart of God by healing the sick and unclean.

A Paralytic and a Tax Collector (Matthew 9:1-13) Unfaithful Israel (vv. 4-10) The Death (and Resurrection) of the Physician (vv. 1-3) Discussion Starters Monday—What was everyone expecting Jesus to say when the paralytic's friends brought him to Jesus? Why did he say “your sins are forgiven?” How did healing his paralysis prove that his sins were forgiven? Tuesday—Why did Jesus eat with sinners? How does that help you understand his heart and why he came? How does the Lord's Supper reflect that and comfort you each week? Wednesday—What was Israel's problem in Hosea 6? Why does God accuse Israel of “whoredom”? Thursday—How was Israel's sin like Adam's? (v. 7) Would you have done any better if you were in Adam's place or in Israel? How does this passage describe the universal problem of humanity? Friday—How was Jesus “torn” for you for two days? Why is his resurrection such a comfort to those who place their trust in him?

Luke 5:17–26 — The Paralytic, Forgiveness of Sins, and Jesus' Divine Authority Dr Fretwell continues a Luke 5 study in Capernaum as Pharisees and teachers of the law, including a delegation from Jerusalem, gather to investigate Jesus after the messianic healing of a leper. Jesus teaches the word, and four friends lower a paralysed man through the roof to reach him, demonstrating visible, active faith. Jesus first declares, “Your sins are forgiven,” intentionally echoing Leviticus' sacrificial language to claim God's authority, prompting accusations of blasphemy. Knowing their thoughts, Jesus challenges them and heals the man to prove the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins. The man obeys, walks home glorifying God, and the crowd responds with astonishment, fear, and praise, emphasising humanity's greatest need: forgiveness through Jesus.

The post Paralytic Walks appeared first on New City Church.

Read OnlineWhen Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been ill for a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be well?” The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; while I am on my way, someone else gets down there before me.” Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your mat, and walk.” Immediately the man became well, took up his mat, and walked. John 5:6–8Let us begin by imagining the overwhelming joy of this man, who was healed after he had been ill for thirty-eight years. He lay on a mat near the Pool of Bethesda, a place where tradition held that the first to enter the water after it was stirred would be healed. Some later traditions associated the stirring of the waters with the Archangel Raphael, whose name means ‘healing of God.' While Scripture does not link Raphael to this story, his healing nature from other biblical traditions makes the association meaningful for reflection.When Jesus approaches the paralyzed man and asks, “Do you want to be well?” the question seems almost unnecessary. Who wouldn't desire healing after suffering for so long? Yet this question points to a deeper reality—one that transcends physical illness. The man's condition and Jesus' question symbolize the spiritual paralysis that can afflict any soul trapped in habitual sin. Just as the man could not heal himself, so too are we unable to free ourselves from the weight of sin without divine intervention. Jesus asks us the same question today: Do we truly want to be freed from our spiritual paralysis?The man's response to Jesus also reveals an important truth. He says, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; while I am on my way, someone else gets down there before me.” This admission reflects a deep hopelessness that those who struggle with habitual sin often experience. Years of failure to overcome sin can lead to discouragement, even resignation. But this very discouragement is where grace begins to work. In acknowledging our inability to heal ourselves, we open the door to Christ's healing power.Perhaps Jesus chose this man precisely because he had lost all hope. After thirty-eight years of suffering, he had no one to help him and no expectation of healing. Yet Jesus, in His mercy, intervened. This is a powerful message for all who struggle with sin and despair of overcoming it: There is always hope in Christ. He takes the initiative when we cannot, bringing healing where we least expect it. Picture Christ coming to you today, asking, “Do you want to be well?” Our response should mirror the man's humility: Lord, I am powerless to free myself from my sin. In this admission of weakness, we allow Christ to work in us. It is through our humility that we prepare to receive His grace. Reflect today on any sin—whether venial or grave—that has become a habitual part of your life. Have you grown resigned to these sins, thinking they are impossible to overcome? Are there sins you have become so accustomed to that you no longer recognize their spiritual harm? Christ asks you today: Do you want to be healed? Acknowledge your weakness, confess your inability to heal yourself, and wait on the Lord. Be attentive, and you will see He is already taking divine initiative, working in ways you might not yet realize. My attentive Lord, You are fully aware of my sin and the burden it imposes upon me. You come to me night and day, asking if I want to be well. Please help me to be attentive to You and Your gentle invitations. Help me to have hope that I can change, grow closer to You, and become the saint You want me to become.

Fifteen years ago, Pastor Steve Ruetschle was left paralyzed after a catastrophic motorcycle accident. Doctors told him he would never walk again.But this episode is not primarily about a medical outcome. It is about something deeper.In this conversation, Steve reflects on the different ways God heals, the power of community, and what it means to participate in the fellowship of suffering. He shares how the faith of others carried him when he could not believe for himself, how pain can either harden the heart or deepen it, and how redemptive healing does not always mean the removal of suffering. This is a thoughtful and pastoral conversation about chronic pain, unanswered prayer, community, gratitude, and the surrounding love of God.If you are walking through illness, loss, or long term suffering, this episode offers a steady reminder that you are not alone and that God's faithful love surrounds you even here.(0:00) Introduction and How Steve's Story Reached Space for Life(2:19) The Motorcycle Accident and Becoming Quadriplegic(6:31) Degrees of Paralysis and Living with Chronic Pain(11:26) Community and the Story of the Paralytic(16:00) The Turning Point and Moving His Toe(21:10) Different Types of Healing(30:06) Redemptive Healing and the Fellowship of Suffering(36:33) Guarding Against Bitterness(45:09) A Word for Those Walking Through PainLove the show?

Proof: Healing the Paralytic - Josh Wilson by Storyline Church

Jesus: The True King Before the Sea of Need The Homily focuses on the Gospel of Mark . . . . . . and the Old Testament account of David and Saul to contrast two radically different models of kingship and authority. In the Gospel, Jesus draws overwhelming crowds from every direction . . . Galilee, Judea, Jerusalem, and beyond. The weight of human need is so great that his disciples must prepare a boat to keep him from being crushed. Jesus heals, teaches, and confronts unclean spirits, yet refuses acclaim or self-promotion. His kingship is defined not by ego or force, but by mercy, humility, and service to the wounded. This is set against the tragic example of King Saul, whose victory over Goliath becomes the seed of his downfall. Saul's fragile ego turns David . . . God's chosen servant . . . into a perceived enemy. Saul embodies the ruler who serves God on his own terms, seeking praise, control, and personal glory. David, though deeply flawed, remains oriented toward God's will, capable of repentance and humility. The Homily culminates in Christ as the true Son of David and Mary as Queen through obedience. God's kingdom is revealed not as conquest by power, but as a conquest of love—founded on surrender to God's will rather than domination. True authority flows from hearts mastered by God, not from self-assertion or acclaim.

A meditation preached by Fr. Eric Nicolai to university students at Ernescliff College, Toronto, on January 16, 2026.The account of the paralytic lowered by his friends in front of Jesus.Mark 2:1-12: When Jesus returned to Capernaum after some days, it was reported that he was at home. And many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even at the door. And he was preaching the word to them. And they came, bringing to him a paralysed man carried by four men. And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him, and when they had made an opening, they let down the bed on which the paralysed man lay. And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralysed man, ‘Son, your sins are forgiven.' Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts, ‘Why does this man speak like that? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?' Many souls seek to come closer to Jesus. How can we place them in front of Jesus?Thumbnail: Mosaic from the Basilica of Sant'Apolinnare in Nuovo, Ravenna, 5th century.Music: Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. Angelic Choir, with licence

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.
