Summary:
In the sermon "Laying Our Friends Before Jesus" given by Pastor Vicki Harrison, the focus was on the power and importance of embracing disruptions as divine opportunities to serve God and others. Reflecting on the story from Mark 2:1-12, where four friends went to great lengths to bring their paralyzed friend to Jesus, Pastor Vicki emphasized that sometimes God not only invites us to recognize Him in our disruptions but also calls us to be the disruption in someone else's life for their spiritual and physical healing. The sermon underscored the mission of New Hope to make more and better followers of Jesus Christ by urging the congregation to actively seek out ways to introduce others to Jesus, emphasizing the collective responsibility to do whatever it takes to bring people before Christ. Pastor Vicki challenged the congregation to consider who in their lives needs Jesus and to commit to standing in the gap for them, through prayer and action, reflecting the church's values of love, care, and bold faithfulness. This call to action encourages us to view interruptions not as nuisances but as God-given chances to demonstrate His love and power.
