DNA — Wreck the Roof

In Luke 5, friends carry a paralyzed man to Jesus, and when the crowd blocks the door, they tear open the roof and lower him through. Their audacious, urgent faith is the heart of this message. When Jesus saw their faith, he forgave and healed the man, addressing his deeper spiritual need before the physical one. The teaching argues that our faith does not save others, but it can carry them to the One who does. It calls the church to be people who will wreck the roof: starting each day expecting an opportunity, willing to risk a Plan B when Plan A fails, praying daily for the one, and willing to set aside personal preference and tradition to put people in front of Jesus.
