#Mark 2:1-5; Mark 2:3-5#
Bill Sunberg explains how his work as an Uber driver and a local tragedy in Toronto reshaped his understanding of ministry. Initially, he saw Uber as a way to connect anonymously with his city, but after a deadly van attack, he used the platform to connect with and comfort grieving people. This experience highlights the broader issue of barriers that separate people from each other and from experiencing God's love. Bill shares a story from Mark 2, where friends break through a roof to bring their paralyzed friend to Jesus, illustrating the lengths we should go to connect people with Jesus. He recounts the story of a shooting near his church and how that event led to the creation of a program called "Refresh", which involves painting houses in the community. The program is not merely about the paint, but about building relationships, understanding needs, and fostering community. Ultimately, Bill challenges the audience to find ways to break down barriers, share love, and live life on mission, using a variety of every day tools and skills.
