A story about the 99 cent Christmas tree; the excitement of receiving a great item for minimum purchase price, only to find out that it wasn't worth it.
Jesus preaching in a house where a group of friends dropped their invalid friend through the roof to be healed. Related story of building a sunroof in an old barn with the father being scared to death to see his children on a dangerous roof. After Jesus healed the invalid who picked up his mat and carried it out through the crowd he had to. The friends must have been ecstatic; a crazy moment. This Black Friday how crazy will you get for a deal? What lengths would you go through to bring your friend(s) to Jesus? How do you get past the fears of witnessing for Jesus? Would you pick-up your friends and carry them to Jesus? Do not underestimate the power of an invitation to Christ. We will be praying for all these people for all of these people.
