Author: Steve Jones
Text: Luke 5:17-25
Sermon Summary: 1) Unconventional House. 2) Unconventional Friends. 3) Unconventional Savior.

(Mark 2:1, Luke 5:17).
Mark's gospel gives us this added detail that Jesus was in Capernaum and in "the house" while doing his teaching. Capernaum lies on the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee, about 30 miles from Nazareth. In the first century it was a fishing village with around 1,500 people. We surmise from the previous chapter that "the house" they were in was Peter's house,where they usually hung out. The house would have had a roof made with light wooden beams and thatch m ...
