Ashton Earwood "Carried to Christ" - (2/22/2026)

Life often brings us to places where we feel completely stuck and unable to fix ourselves. In Luke 5, a paralyzed man represents our spiritual condition - we cannot make ourselves righteous through willpower alone. His friends demonstrate true spiritual friendship by carrying him to Jesus when he couldn't reach Christ on his own. When Jesus addressed the man's sins before his paralysis, He revealed that our greatest need isn't circumstantial change but forgiveness. Jesus proved His authority to forgive by healing the man's body, showing that invisible spiritual transformation is confirmed through visible change. The man left glorifying God, carrying the mat that once symbolized his weakness as evidence of God's power.
