One More - Noah Herrin

Noah Herrin · Mark 2:1-12

Noah Herrin preaches from Mark 2 and centers the message on "one more" - the single person God wants you to reach. He opens with the paralytic story to show how collective faith moved Jesus to forgive and heal, then pivots to pastoral exhortation: churches and Christians must resist settling for maintenance and keep pursuing the lost. Herrin uses personal illustrations (a hotel rat, a persistent homeless woman, and social-media attacks) and his father's counsel to show obstacles are normal and must not harden our hearts toward people. He finishes with a practical challenge: write down your "one more," bring them to Easter, and be persistent in sharing the gospel because Jesus advocates for the lost.

““There's going to be a lot of people at this house but there is one more that needs to be in the house today.”” · Noah Herrin

Take it with you

Identify your "one more" - write their name down and pray for opportunities to invite them. Expect obstacles and opposition; perseverance and collective faith matter more than perfect circumstances. Don't demonize or write off people who frustrate you; lean into compassion and personal engagement rather than publicizing conflict.
