Do you want to get well? This is the question Jesus asks in John 5 when he encounters a man who has been paralyzed for 38 years, waiting by the pool of Bethesda. When Jesus tells him to "get up and walk," he is inviting the man—and all of us—to move from fear to freedom and trust.

In this sermon, we continue our series on the miracles of Jesus in the Gospel of John, which were signs pointing to Jesus’ identity and mission. This story challenges us to ask: Are we holding onto small, limited views of what’s possible, or are we ready to step into the abundant life God has already prepared for us? Join us this week as we explore how Jesus invites us to trust his vision for our lives and our world.
