Faith That Carries

Most of us are following Jesus because somebody carried us to Him. In this first message of the Room to Rise series, Ross Sawyer looks at Mark 2, where four friends find the house so packed they can't get their paralyzed friend through the door. They don't quit. They climb onto the roof, dig through it, and lower him down to Jesus. Their faith took effort, cost them something, and needed all four of them, and Jesus saw it.

Ross reminds us that only Jesus forgives and heals, but our part is to carry people to Him. The question isn't whether we have room. It's whether we have the faith to make room for the people who will come after us. As Rise looks ahead, this message asks each of us: will we have faith that carries?
