Episode 2: The Authority to Forgive Sins

from So, What About Us? · host Steven Clark, Travis Brown, Ben Phillips

Four friends tear a roof apart to get a paralyzed man to Jesus, and instead of healing his body, Jesus says, "Son, your sins are forgiven." Why? In this episode, we dig into Mark 2:1-12 and explore why Jesus addressed the disease before the symptom, what it means that he saw their faith, and why he didn't try to reason the scribes out of their doubt — he met it with power instead.So, what about us? Pastors Steven, Ben, and Travis talk about what happens when your mind hits a mystery it can't solve — the Trinity, the problem of evil, why suffering exists — and why Jesus doesn't hand you a theology textbook. He points you to the power and says, "Let that settle your heart." We also ask what it looks like to be the kind of friend who won't let obstacles, comfort, or busy schedules keep you from getting someone to Jesus. If you have questions as we continue through Mark or as we look ahead to Romans 1:1-7 for the Mission Conference, please send them to: [email protected].
