“Get Off the Sidelines!”
Pastor Otis Amey
Biblical Foundation:
Mark 2 — Spectators, Critics, Participants
- Spectators: present but passive; watching Jesus without engaging.
- Critics: questioning, resisting, focused on what’s “wrong.”
- Participants: leaning in, taking action, bringing others to Jesus.
The BIG Question:
What is on the other side of you getting in the game?
You can’t follow Christ from the sidelines!
1. Why Are You Here?
Mark 2:1-2
2. Is Your Faith Visible?
Mark 2:3-7
3. Who Needs Healing?
Mark 2:8-12
Final Thought: Our Doing Flows From Our Being
John 15:1-5
