Ashland St Baptist Church Podcast Notes Heroes Sunday Title: The Bible’s First Responder Text: Mark 2:1-3
Intro: Today we honor real-life heroes—and see how four friends became heroes of faith by getting a helpless man to Jesus.
I. The Hearers (Mark 2:1-2) "It was noised that he was in the house." Jesus looks for:
- An Open Heart
- An Open Hand
- An Open Home
II. The Helpless (Mark 2:3) The paralyzed man:
- Couldn’t get to Jesus
- Couldn’t help himself
- Only Jesus could save him
Romans 5:6-10 – Christ died for us when we were helpless.
III. The Helpers (Mark 2:3) Four friends = Four qualities:
- Prayer
- Compassion (Jude 22)
- Faith
- Determination (Story: Boy buys Bible for his friend)
IV. The Hang-Ups (Mark 2:4) Obstacles:
- The Crowd
- The Cry
- The Cover (roof!)
V. The Healer (Mark 2:5-12)
- Jesus received the man
- He honored their faith
- He forgave sins (Only God can do this) Corrie Ten Boom’s story of forgiveness shows the power of Christ’s healing.
Close: "We never saw it on this fashion." We’ve never seen anything like what Jesus can do. Heroes respond—and Jesus responds back.
