Live Passionately
Luke 5:17-26

I. Do Something Drastic - vs. 18-19a
- They had a need, their friend needed Jesus
- They gave no excuses

II. Create God Space - vs 19b
- We need to intentionally look at our lives and see what is important and what isn't
- Proberbs 10:27 - "The fear of the Lord adds length to life..."
- We all need margins in our life

III. Expect The Unexpected - vs 20
- God quite often doesn't do things the way we are expecting them to happen

IV. Keep a Constant Reminder - vs 24
- Jesus told him to take his mat, a memorial, a reminder
