By Any Means Necessary

May 17, 2026    Javier Batista

In this message, we walk through one of the most vivid moments in the Gospel of Mark: four friends tearing open a roof to get a paralyzed man to Jesus.


You’ll see how real friendship refuses to give up when the way to Jesus seems blocked, what relentless, creative faith looks like in action, why Jesus addressed the man’s sins before his legs—and what that reveals about our greatest need—and how God calls His church to “grab a corner” and carry one another when faith feels too heavy to lift.


This sermon will challenge you to ask: Am I the one on the mat who needs to be carried right now, or is God calling me to carry someone else—by any means necessary?


Watch and be encouraged to become (and find) the kind of friends who will not stop until people meet Jesus.
