Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralyzed Man. One day Jesus was teaching, many from every village of Galilee and from Judea and Jerusalem came to hear Him, including the Pharisees and teachers of the law. People brought their sick before Jesus in hopes that He would heal them. Among the people the people were a group of friends of man who was paralyzed. When they couldn't find a way through the crowd to get to Jesus, they created their own. They climbed to he roof, broke through and created an opening large enough to lower their friend. Jesus notices their faith and pardons the paralyzed man's sins. He also noticed the lack of faith in the Pharisees and to everyone's shock, heals the paralyzed man.
When the Storm Comes
May 19, 2024 • Pastor Nathan Batres • Luke 18:35–43
A Blind Beggar Receives His Sight. As Jesus approaches Jericho, along the roadside, there is a man blind since birth. He is there begging for whatever scraps he can get from those who pitied him. This day, however, is about to be different because he hears the the commotion of a crowd and asks what is going on. Upon hearing that it is Jesus of Nazareth that is walking by, the man stops begging and calls out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” When the crowds near him try to silence him, he cried out even louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” He no longer wanted anyone's pity, he desired the mercy of God.

Jesus Heals a Sick Woman. On His way to heal Jarius' daughter, Jesus has a multitude of people pressing in all around Him, almost crushing Him. Among those in the crowd, was a woman, desperate to reach Jesus. She had been dealing with a hemorrhage for 12 years, sought help from many, and spent a lot of money trying to find her healing. But on this day, her faith was activated, and she believed that if she could just touch the hem of His robe, she would finally find the healing she desired.
