Loving The Lost

John Swadley | Luke 5:17-20 This powerful message challenges us to reconsider what we truly need versus what we think we need. Through the story of four friends who literally tore a hole in a roof to bring their paralyzed friend to Jesus, we discover that our greatest need isn't health, prosperity, companionship, or significance. It's forgiveness. We live in a world where prayer requests focus on health concerns and financial struggles, yet we rarely acknowledge our deepest need for divine forgiveness. As we approach Easter, we're called to be like these friends, working together to bring people to Jesus who can transform their lives eternally. The question becomes: who are we bringing to Jesus, and what obstacles are we willing to overcome to make it happen?
