Road to the Cross: The Lonely Road to the Cross

Speaker: Pastor Jonathan Moe

Scripture: Mark 2: 1-12

Big Idea: Jesus walked the loneliest road to the cross so we would never walk alone.

1.Crowded But Alone v.1-2

- The miracle begins before Jesus speaks

2.A Carried Faith v.3-5

- If you isolate, you stagnate. If you connect, you move.

3.A Faith That Refuses to Stop v.4

- James 2: 17 says faith without works is dead

- Luke 18: 1-8 - persistent faith keeps on knocking

4.The Deeper Problem v.5-10

- Forgiveness comes first because forgiveness costs more.

- Someone always pays the bill. And Jesus is saying, “I will.”

5.Authority and Tension v.8-12

- Jesus asks, “Which is easier? To say your sins are forgiven, or to say get up and walk?”

6.From the Mat to Testimony v.11-12

- Because He carried the weight alone, we carry one another together.
