I'M NOT THE CHURCH CROWD

Forward City Church

About this episode

In this week’s message, Pastor Jim continues our Church Outside series with a bold reminder: “I am the church, but I’m not the church crowd.”


Using Mark 2:1–5, we explore how the crowd in Scripture often got in the way of people trying to reach Jesus — and how we might be doing the same. Are we helping people find Him, or are we unknowingly blocking the way?


This message will challenge you to:

- Recognize the spirit of religion within “the crowd”

- Embrace the access Jesus gave you — to let others in

- Move from convenience to calling


Tear the roof off any system, mindset, or structure keeping people from Jesus

If you’ve ever felt like you don’t fit in the “church crowd,” this one’s for you. We’re not building walls — we’re building bridges.
