A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home. They gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them. Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

These four guys couldn’t get their buddy because the crowd was too big.
Backs turned

· BREAK SOME RULES.
Never waited 30 min after eating swim, Never wore helmet bike—seatbelt car.

I see a church full of people
· Who don’t judge those without X—but love them to X
· Jesus didn’t come for the healthy—sick, righteous—sinners.
· People we bear the burdens and break the rules
· Anything short of sin—to reach people who don’t know Christ.
Who do you know?
We are not doing it unless you are doing it—you are the church!
