Life can be incredibly lonely. God new this and that’s why he created us to live in families, communities, and churches. In Mark 2, we find the incredible ministry of some friends. This sermon shows why and how we can be friends to each other and how Jesus is the ultimate friend.
Have you ever thought to yourself, “Jesus can’t love me because I have….” I have heard many people say they can’t go to church because they were afraid the building would fall in or catch on fire. Comments like this illustrate a fundamental thought that many of us have: That I’m too messed up for Jesus to love me.
This sermon shows Jesus’ willingness to “touch” our lives, even in those areas that we deem are untouchable, inaccessible, and unchangeable.
No matter what you have done, where you have been, or no matter how “messed up” you may think your life is, you are never too far gone for Jesus to change you.

Congratulations to the 20 people who were baptized on Oct 8th. It was the largest baptism service in the sixty year history of Licking Assembly of God. What an incredible day to witness the move of God upon individuals, families, and a community. For those who were baptized, take the next steps: 1. Attend church regularly. 2. Find a Bible and read it. 3. Pray at home, at work, and whenever you think of it. 4. Join a Wednesday small-group. 5. Ask Jesus to Baptize you with the Holy Spirit. 6 Tell your friends, family, and neighbors about what God has done for you and what He can do for them.
