Hey Carpool Crew! Whether you're cooling off with a Slurpee or relaxing in the shade, today's story is next-level wild. It’s about a group of friends so determined to get their buddy to Jesus… they tore a hole in a roof. 😳
Our verse today is Mark 2:3–4 (CSB):
“They came to him bringing a paralytic, carried by four of them. Since they were not able to bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him, and after digging through it, they lowered the mat on which the paralytic was lying.”
📍 In this high-energy story from the Gospel of Mark:
-
Jesus is preaching in a packed house in Capernaum
-
Four faith-filled friends refuse to let the crowd stop them
-
They dig through the roof and lower their paralyzed friend down
-
Jesus is so moved by their faith, He heals their friend—body and soul
🙌 Takeaway Truth: Real friends do whatever it takes to get each other closer to Jesus.

🗣️ Today’s Discussion Question: Who are your “roof friends”—the people who help bring you closer to Jesus?
