Sunday 25th May 2025 // Morning // Luke 5:17-26 // The Authority to Forgive

Rev. Craig Lynn preaches Luke 5:17-26 at morning worship on Sunday 25th May 2025 in First Ards. When a paralysed man is lowered through a roof to Jesus, the crowd expects a miracle of healing, but Jesus sees a deeper need. In this sermon from Luke 5, we explore how Jesus’ authority goes far beyond restoring broken bodies; He forgives sin. This isn’t just a story about a man who walked again, but about a Saviour who knows the heart, meets us in our greatest need and offers us something far greater than we often expect. How will we respond to His authority?
