Friends, How Many Of Us Have Them
In this powerful message, we're challenged to embrace 'friendship evangelism' as a vital part of our Christian walk. The central theme revolves around the story of the paralyzed man in Mark 2, whose friends went to extraordinary lengths to bring him to Jesus. This narrative teaches us about the transformative power of surrogate faith - believing on behalf of those who struggle to believe for themselves. We're reminded that our relationships aren't accidental; God has strategically placed people in our lives for us to impact. The message urges us to take initiative, carry others' burdens, and persistently invite our friends to 'come and see' Jesus. It's a call to move beyond our comfort zones and actively share our faith, recognizing that we have the answer - Jesus - to every need we encounter in others' lives.
