HIM – Lesson 3): There is Something about the Faith of the Desperate

Date: 04-19-2026

Speaker: Elder Brian K. Rosette

Primary Text: Mark 2:3-4; 17

Description:

Faith in Christ can sometimes lead to desperate acts—but Jesus responds to faith. In Mark 2, four men refuse to let obstacles stop them from getting their friend to Jesus. Their faith was proven through action, and Jesus not only healed the man, but first addressed the deeper need: forgiveness and repentance. This message calls us to embrace Jesus’ mission as our mission—reaching those who are hurting, overlooked, and in need of the Great Physician.

Key Question:

What are we willing to do for ourselves, and for others, to get to Jesus?

Key Scriptures:

Mark 2:3-5, 11-15, 17; James 2:17; Hebrews 11:6; 1 Samuel 16:7; Matthew 28:19-20; Luke 19:10; Luke 1:37; 2 Peter 3:9
