What the three little words you hear right before someone does something crazy? “I got this” – is typically the attitude, mantra, or phrase uttered moments before something crazy or awesome happens. In changing your city, there will be obstacles – fear, nerves, distractions… we need to have an attitude of “I got this”  that takes us beyond our comfort and into our calling.Mark Changing your city starts with going beyond your comfort..Capernaum means village of comfort. Here, in the middle of comfort… was a group of 5 friends. And one of those friends was paralyzed.Here we are back to those 3 groups of people around Jesus – The friends placing complete faith in Jesus above their own comfort, taking next steps.The crowd listening and not doing anything – not taking next stepsThe Pharisees – watching and judging and pushing back trying to stop any next steps.We need to have the attitude of “I Got This”.When you begin changing your city – you will face obstacles on the way. Here’s 4 we see in this passage:CROWD – people will unknowingly or unconsciously block you or prevent you. Have you ever had someone say something like oh thats dumb. or why would you do that. They never give what they said a second thought, but for us its something we can dwell on. Wow, they don’t think I can do it, maybe I shouldn’t.ROOF – every year had to be redone right before winter. It was something that was easily removed and replaced. I see the roof as our own self worth, or insecurities. Something that only blocks you and no one else. Jeremiah Doing Life Together – What is your roof? How are you going to trust Jesus? How are you going to place confidence in Jesus? What does the verse Jeremiah PHARISEES – judgement (first public confrontation with the teachers of the law). The enemy intentionally trying to block or prevent you.BELIEF –  was an obstacle – belief that your sin, or pain, or situation is greater than Jesus.9 Which is easier: to say to this paralyzed man, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, take your mat and walk’? 10 But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the man, 11 “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.” 12 He got up, took his mat and walked out in full view of them all. This amazed everyone and they praised God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”How do we overcome obstacles?1. Jesus – He is in your corner. He is speaks on your behalf. What this looks like is proclaiming the word of God in front of the enemy, during healing, through salvation.“But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Cor. 2. Doing life together – Friends. Interesting the friends faced obstacles before getting to Jesus. The obstacle of people. The obstacle of self worth. Jesus and doing life with other people will help you when you face mental and emotional obstacles.Ecclesiastes NEXT STEPS – Bring your city to Jesus. Is there someone like the man on the mat? Someone who doesn’t know Jesus, or needs Jesus? I challenge you to have the attitude of “I’ve got this!” and message them, mail them a card, call them, something to initiate the conversation this week.
