thine
house. And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch…Slide13
Mark 2:1-12
…that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion”
Slide14
Business of the church is to bring sinners to Jesus.
We should be placing great emphasis on reaching the lost.Slide15
THERE WAS A CROWD
Mark 2:2
The place was full of people.
1. A Few Observations:Slide16
Mark 2:2
“And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them” Slide17
Lets focus on the four that brought the sick of the palsy to Jesus.Slide18
THE FOUR WERE COMMITTED
Mark 2:4
2. A Few Observations:Slide19
Mark 2:4
“And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay”Slide20
They could not gel in for the multitude. Now they’ve messed up--- tore a portion of the roof off. Slide21
1 Pet 2:23-25
“Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but
committed
himself to him that
judgeth
righteously: Who his own self bare…Slide22
1 Pet 2:23-25
…our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. For ye were as sheep going…Slide23
1 Pet 2:23-25
…astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls?”Slide24
2 Tim 1:12
“For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day”Slide25
2
Cor
5:19
“To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath
committed
unto us the word of reconciliation”Slide26
He that
committeth
sin is of the devil
!Slide27
1 John 3:8
“
He that
committeth
sin is of the devil
; for the devil
sinneth
from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil”Slide28
1 John 3:4
“Whosoever
committeth
sin
transgresseth
also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law”Slide29
John 8:34
“Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever
committeth
sin is the servant of sin”Slide30
The four were committed to doing saving a soul.
Others are committed to serving sin.Slide31
THERE ARE THE CARELESS
Mark 2:5-7
3. A Few Observations:Slide32
Mark 2:5
“When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. 6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting there,…Slide33
Mark 2:5
… and reasoning in their hearts. Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?” Slide34
Some are not very helpful toward God’s command to reaching the lost.
These four men thought about someone else besides themselves.Slide35

4. A Few Observations:Slide40
Mark 2:3
“And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four”Slide41

Open your eyes… the fields are white already unto harvest!Slide43
THERE ARE THE CRITICAL
Mark 2:6-7
5. A Few Observations:Slide44
Mark 2:6-7
“But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?” Slide45
The critical are not all dead yet!
We might as well get use to being criticized.
Note: If they criticized our Lord, why not us?Slide46
THERE ARE THE COMPASSIONATE
Mark 2:3
A Few Observations:Slide47
Mark 2:3
“And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four”Slide48
Though they are few thank God for them. Compassion is a great motivating power.Slide49
What are you willing to do to become a child of God?Slide50
All that matters is that you are a faithful child of God and prepared to meet Jesus Christ.Slide51

“Whosoever is born of God
doth not commit sin
