I Am My Brother's Keeper

I share about how a specialized unit on the fire department and a story of Jesus healing a paralyzed man have a similar connection. In Mark 2:1-5, it talks about how 4 friends carried a paralyzed friend to Jesus to be healed. This story is also paralleled in Luke 5:17-20 and Matthew 9:1-8.
I share how a Rapid Intervention Team (RIT) is trained to rescue a fellow firefighter in a time of need.
