In the final message of the For the Future series, Pastor Jeremiah returns to the rooftop story of Luke 5, this time focusing on the emotion that almost kept those friends from ever getting their paralyzed companion to Jesus: fear. Drawing from King David's refusal in 2 Samuel 24 to offer God a sacrifice that cost him nothing, he called the church to courageous, skin-in-the-game faith. The man on the mat stayed down not because Jesus lacked power, but because fear is paralyzing, and sometimes the church does the same. The challenge in this message is clear: stop letting fear control what God wants to do in and through you.
