Recognizing Man Made Idols

Mark 2:1-5 (NLT)

1 When Jesus returned to Capernaum several days later, the news spread quickly that he was back home.

 Soon the house where he was staying was so packed with visitors that there was no more room, even outside the door. While he was preaching God’s word to them, 

four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. 

They couldn’t bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. Then they lowered the man on his mat, right down in front of Jesus. 

Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralyzed man, “My child, your sins are forgiven.”

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
