    Sermon Outline and Questions: 

    Pastor Ashley Wilkerson 

    Mark 2:1-12 NIV 1 A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home. 2 They gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them. 3 Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. 4 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. 5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” 6 Now some teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking to themselves, 7 “Why does this fellow talk like that? He’s blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?” 8 Immediately Jesus knew in his spirit that this was what they were thinking in their hearts, and he said to them, “Why are you thinking these things? 9 Which is easier: to say to this paralyzed man, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, take your mat and walk’? 10 But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the man, 11 “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.” 12 He got up, took his mat and walked out in full view of them all. This amazed everyone and they praised God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!” 

    1. What if your COMMUNITY helps determine your CAPACITY? 

    Mark 2:1-3 NIV 1 A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home. 2 They gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them. 3 Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. 

    Mark 2:4 NIV 4 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. 

    Mark 2:5 NIV When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” 

    1. What if your COMMUNITY helps determine your CAPACITY? 

    2. What if GETTING WHAT GOD WANTS is more important than GETTING WHAT WE WANT? 

    Mark 2:5 NIV When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” 

    1. What if your COMMUNITY helps determine your CAPACITY? 

    2. What if GETTING WHAT GOD WANTS is more important than GETTING WHAT WE WANT? 

    3. What if those AGAINST YOU actually ACCELERATE YOUR ANSWER? 

    Mark 2:5-12 NIV 5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” 6 Now some teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking to themselves, 7 “Why does this fellow talk like that? He’s blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?” 8 Immediately Jesus knew in his spirit that this was what they were thinking in their hearts, and he said to them, “Why are you thinking these things? 9 Which is easier: to say to this paralyzed man, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, take your mat and walk’? 10 But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the man, 11 “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.” 12 He got up, took his mat and walked out in full view of them all.

     Questions: 

    1. Who do you consider your inner circle of friends? Are they the type of friends that truly carry you when you need it most? In what direction do they tend to carry you? Toward the Lord and what He has for you or toward drama and what the enemy would have you focus on? How can you help foster friendships with healthy and Godly people? 

    2. Have you ever been in a situation where God gave you something different than what you were asking, but looking back you realize it was for your good? What did you learn from that? How can you apply that to future situations? 

    3. Do you have opposition in your life right now? How might God be using it to position you for what He has as your next assignment?

  • Like Me : Week 2 // Emotional Health

    Job 1:1-3 NIV In the land of Uz there lived a man whose name was Job. This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil. 2 He had seven sons and three daughters, 3 and he owned seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen and five hundred donkeys, and had a large number of servants. He was the greatest man among all the people of the East. 

    Job 1:20-22 NIV 20 At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship 21 and said: “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised.” 22 In all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing. 

    1. Never let your emotions dictate your actions. 

    Galatians 5:22-23 NIV 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. 

    James 1:26 NIV 26 Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless. 

    Job 2:3 NIV 3 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil. And he still maintains his integrity, though you incited me against him to ruin him without any reason.” 

    Job 2:10 NIV 10 He replied, “You are talking like a foolish woman. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?” In all this, Job did not sin in what he said. 

    2. Your emotions are a result of your thinking. 

    Job 2:10 NIV 10 He replied, “You are talking like a foolish woman. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?” In all this, Job did not sin in what he said. 

    2 Corinthians 10:5 NIV 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 

    3. What you prioritize will direct your emotions. 

    Job 1:9 NIV 9 “Does Job fear God for nothing?” Satan replied. 10 “Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he has? 

    Matthew 6:31-34 NIV 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Questions: 1. What are a couple of habits that you can put into place to keep your feelings from turning into actions? 2. Do you have accountability in place for your thought life? How might you do that? What does it really mean to “take a thought captive”? 3. What are the priorities in your life? Does your life show this? How can you begin to make sure that your daily habits truly reflect your priorities?

    Discussion Questions:
