Have you ever felt stuck in a cycle of brokenness, making excuses and blaming others for your situation? In John chapter 5, we encounter a man at the Pool of Bethesda, a place of supposed healing, yet he remains ill for 38 years. This man's story isn't just about physical ailment; it's a powerful metaphor for the brokenness we all experience. This sermon, "Healing at the Pool of Bethesda," explores how, when we speak from our own brokenness, we connect with and speak to the brokenness in others. We'll examine the man's excuses, his tendency to blame, and unpack the profound truth that, even in the midst of seemingly hopeless situations, there is always hope. Join us as we discover how Jesus' encounter with this man reveals the path to true healing, challenging us to: 1) Stop making excuses, 2) Stop blaming others, and 3) Embrace the unwavering hope that Christ offers.
