The Friends Who Cut Through the Roof — a 5-minute devotion for Barking Essex 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 Barking Essex 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: on the way through Barking Essex tomorrow, one person says the first half of "When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralysed man, 'Son, your sins are forgiven.'" and someone else finishes it. Three tries and it is memorised.

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.
