"We have seen remarkable things today." — Luke 5:26Are you waiting for a breakthrough? In this powerful kick-off to our 2026 Theme: Through The Roof, Pastor Rob dives into the story of the paralyzed man and the four friends who refused to take "no" for an answer. We learn that miracles don’t just happen—we make room for them through radical persistence.When the doors were blocked, these men didn't give up; they went through the roof. This year, we are committed to doing whatever it takes to get into the presence of Jesus. It’s time to move past the "crowds" of excuses and break through to the next level of faith and healing.IN THIS MESSAGE:The Power of Presence: Why aligning with God through prayer and the Word is the foundation for every miracle.Overcoming the "Crowd": How to resist the excuses, critics, and obstacles that try to keep you away from your breakthrough.The Vehicle of Community: Why we weren't meant to carry our burdens alone—we need friends to help us "tear off the tiles."SERMON NOTES & OUTLINE:I. MAKE ROOM FOR MIRACLESIt starts with alignment. When the Word is preached and God's presence is welcomed, the power to heal is present.Scripture: Luke 5:17, Psalm 16:11, Romans 10:17II. RESIST EXCUSESWe are as close to God as we want to be. Don't let the "Pharisees" or the "crowds" in your life settle for less than what God has for you.Scripture: Proverbs 24:16, Psalm 119:41III. RELATIONSHIPS ARE THE VEHICLEThe paralytic couldn’t get to Jesus on his own. We need the "four friends" who have the faith to carry us when we are weak.Scripture: Romans 14:7, Proverbs 27:17, Hebrews 10:24-25
