17
On one of those days, as he was teaching, there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was with him to heal.
18
And behold, men were bringing on a bed a man who was paralyzed, and they sought to bring him in and lay him before Jesus;
19
but finding no way to bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down with his bed through the tiles into the midst before Jesus.
20
And when he saw their faith he said, "Man, your sins are forgiven you."
21
And the scribes and the Pharisees began to question, saying, "Who is this that speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God only?"
22
When Jesus perceived their questionings, he answered them, "Why do you question in your hearts?
23
Which is easier, to say, 'Your sins are forgiven you,' or to say, 'Rise and walk'?
24
But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins" --he said to the man who was paralyzed--"I say to you, rise, take up your bed and go home.
25
And immediately he rose before them, and took up that on which he lay, and went home, glorifying God.
26
And amazement seized them all, and they glorified God and were filled with awe, saying, "We have seen strange things today."

Wants and Genuine Needs, Part 3
Pastor Mike Fabarez
What’s your biggest need today? Maybe it’s for a clean diagnosis from the doctor. Perhaps you’re waiting for a son or daughter to come home. Or maybe you’re asking for the strength to simply get through the day! On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez agrees that our financial, relational, and physical desires are important. But they pale in comparison to what Jesus says is our greatest need!
Urgency and True Importance, Part 2
Pastor Mike Fabarez
You know, importance often depends on your perspective. What may be an urgent issue for you, may not be as pressing for someone else. The things that seem so critical today may seem inconsequential tomorrow. The only way to have proper understanding of what really matters in life is to have an eternal perspective. On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez turns to Luke, chapter five to do just that!
Urgency and True Importance, Part 1
Pastor Mike Fabarez
Think back to your younger days for a moment. What was important to you back then? Chances are, the pressures and stresses you dealt with at thirteen, sixteen, or twenty don’t seem all that critical right now! On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez is in a series on Discernment. As we study another scene from the life of Jesus, we’ll find valuable insight into what truly matters in this life … now and for eternity.
