Tonight's family reading · Faiyum
The Friends Who Cut Through the Roof — a 5-minute devotion for Faiyum families
Mark 2:1-12 · Faith carried by friends
The house was so crowded nobody else could get in, so four friends carried a paralysed man onto the roof, dug through it and lowered him down. Jesus saw their faith and told the man to get up and walk.
This works best in Faiyum as a bedtime reading. Lights low, Mark 2:1-12 read slowly, the memory verse said twice, then the prayer. Younger children fall asleep on "faith carried by friends"; older ones usually want to argue about it first, which is fine.
Memory verse
“When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralysed man, 'Son, your sins are forgiven.'”Mark 2:5
Table question
Who needs you to carry them to Jesus right now?
30-second prayer
Jesus, when our own faith is thin, thank you for friends who carry us. Amen.
Make it stick: write "Mark 2:5" on the fridge tonight. Every time someone in the house opens it this week, they say the verse out loud. Faiyum kids find this funnier than it deserves, which is exactly why it works.
Tomorrow: Jesus calls Levi from the tax booth (Mark 2:13-17). ArkQuest queues the next reading automatically, so nobody has to decide what comes after tonight.
On Mount Carmel, Elijah rebuilt an altar of twelve stones before calling on the Lord. What did the twelve stones represent?
