The crowds marvel when Jesus heals the paralyzed man, but Jesus presses deeper, revealing that forgiveness is the truest healing and mercy the truest offering. His call to Matthew and his table fellowship with sinners show a God who moves toward those who feel unworthy, insisting that compassion, not practicing rituals, is the heartbeat of divine love. This reading offers a glimpse into moments that reveal a Savior who notices the hidden, honors the vulnerable, answers the bold, and brings life where everyone else has given up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Join with us on Sunday, June 7 as we journey with the Lord.\u00a0 \u00a0The bulletin can be found in the Sunday Bulletin tab.\u00a0 <\/strong><strong>We invite you to Come and See!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Join Zoom Meeting<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/us02web.zoom.us\/j\/89095645911?pwd%3DbBYj7BCUuYfrZJX33ioQXXb4OBSgjk.1&amp;sa=D&amp;source=calendar&amp;usd=2&amp;usg=AOvVaw2myPYPcgsvdIJc1A3q8u7R\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/us02web.zoom.us\/j\/89095645911?pwd=bBYj7BCUuYfrZJX33ioQXXb4OBSgjk.1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Meeting ID: 890 9564 5911<br \/>\nPasscode: 676803<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stbartshhk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2d529dd17bada881ece4897a9f3fdcc1_THE-POWER-OF-GOD-THE-GOSPEL-OF-CHRIST-900-c-100.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5117 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stbartshhk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2d529dd17bada881ece4897a9f3fdcc1_THE-POWER-OF-GOD-THE-GOSPEL-OF-CHRIST-900-c-100-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"668\" height=\"445\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stbartshhk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2d529dd17bada881ece4897a9f3fdcc1_THE-POWER-OF-GOD-THE-GOSPEL-OF-CHRIST-900-c-100-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.stbartshhk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2d529dd17bada881ece4897a9f3fdcc1_THE-POWER-OF-GOD-THE-GOSPEL-OF-CHRIST-900-c-100-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.stbartshhk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2d529dd17bada881ece4897a9f3fdcc1_THE-POWER-OF-GOD-THE-GOSPEL-OF-CHRIST-900-c-100.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 668px) 100vw, 668px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Matthew 9:8\u201313 and 18\u201326 paints a sweeping picture of Jesus as the One who restores life in every sense, body, spirit, community, and hope.
