Who are you carrying to Jesus?

Aug 12, 2026    David Moore

In this message, Family Pastor David Moore opens the new school year with a challenge drawn from the four friends who carried a paralyzed man through a crowd and lowered him through a roof just to get him in front of Jesus. He walks through what biblical friendship looks like, calling it caring deeply, doing whatever it takes, and having a tenacious faith that refuses to quit on the people around us. David challenges the group that as the school year begins, they have more opportunities than they realize to carry their roommates, classmates, and coworkers to Jesus through prayer, invitation, and simply sharing their story. He closes with a powerful video illustration of a college student named Ashley whose unbelieving heart was slowly opened by a roommate who loved her without judgment and lived her faith quietly and consistently, reminding the group that the greatest miracle in the passage was not that the paralyzed man walked, but that his sins were forgiven.
