"Do You Want to Get Well?"

This sermon centered on the story of Jesus healing a paralyzed man at the Pool of Bethesda in John 5. The man had been in his condition for 38 years, and Jesus approached Him with a surprising and penetrating question: "Do you want to get well?" Dr. Bowling unpacked how Jesus sees beyond our outward brokenness to the deeper spiritual paralysis that can take hold in our hearts through resentment, fear, guilt, addiction, or discouragement. Just as the sculptor sees the finished work within a rough block of marble, Jesus sees not just what we are but what we can become through His grace.
