This week’s message begins with a small mix-up—Luke 5 is read instead of Luke 4. But what could’ve been a mistake becomes an unexpected gift. Both passages, side by side, offer a powerful picture of what it means to live on purpose.

In Luke 4, Jesus steps into the synagogue and publicly claims His mission—to proclaim good news, release, healing, and freedom. It’s a clear declaration of identity and calling.

Then in Luke 5, we see that mission in action. Friends lower a paralyzed man through a roof to get him to Jesus. What happens next is healing, forgiveness, and awe. It’s a story of compassion, boldness, and transformation.

Pastor Shawn shares how Luke 4 has long been a favorite because it reminds him of his calling. And now Luke 5 is becoming a new favorite—showing how healing often requires partnership, faith, and vulnerability.
