On Sunday, May 10, 2026 at Wildwood Community Church I preached a sermon based on Luke 5:17-26. This message was part 5 of our series, “Launch Day.” Below you will find questions related to the message for personal reflection or group discussion. You will also find audio and video of the message to listen to/watch, download, or share.
Sermon Questions:
- Pray
- Read Luke 5:17-26
- What are some things that people would describe as humanities greatest need? This morning we talked about how forgiveness is our greatest need. Did this resonate with you? Why or why not?
- The four faithful friends pushed through challenges to get their paralyzed friend before Jesus. What are some ways you can push through challenges to bring your friends before Jesus today?
- Getting their paralyzed friend before Jesus cost the four faithful friends something. What are some of the costs associated with ministering to your friends today?
- Jesus met the paralyzed man’s deepest need (forgiveness) and healed him physically (to prove to the Pharisees that Jesus, indeed, had the power to forgive). Do you believe that Jesus truly has the authority to forgive us our sins today?
- Confess your sin to God and ask God to forgive you for Jesus’ sake.
- What stands out to you most from this message? Any particular takeaway?
