Welcome to One Single Story! Join Pastor Stephen Mizell, Pastor Jay Rivenbark, and Pastor Sheryl Daughety as they explore Jesus's radical approach to forgiveness, healing, and spiritual renewal in Matthew 9:1-17.

Scripture Focus: Matthew 9:1-17 - Jesus forgives and heals a paralyzed man, calls Matthew the tax collector, dines with sinners, and teaches about new wineskins.

In This Episode:

• Why Jesus prioritized spiritual forgiveness over physical healing
• How religious comfort zones can blind us to God's work
• The tension between unchanging gospel truth and evolving ministry methods
• Why healthy people don't need a doctor - recognizing our need for a Savior

Key Quote: "Jesus naturally moves toward broken people. That may not be our natural inclination, but that's his natural inclination. Jesus never worried about his reputation - he was willing to run to them no matter what, and he never ran away from them."
