In the Gospel of Mark, there were four individuals who refused to simply pass by a paralyzed man lying on a mat. They recognized that the man needed to reach Jesus, and they were determined to make room for him. While Jesus was teaching in a crowded home where there was no space for the paralyzed man to access Him, these four individuals made room. They made room in their schedules, tapped into their creativity, disregarded their reputation, expended their energy, showed compassion, and had faith. As a result, they lowered the man through the roof, enabling him to connect with Jesus, receive forgiveness for his sins, and experience complete physical healing. All of this was made possible because a few people made room.

Whenever I want to make a positive impact in my life with something new, I must create a space for that new thing. If we are going to make room for new here at Lake Cities UMC in 2024 that entails making room in our heart, prayer life, schedule, energy level, and sometimes even our financial resources. Join us for a new worship series where we will discuss how we are going to make room for a renewed vision, new priorities, and new people in 2024!
