Victims and Saviors - John 5:1-15

Live Church

In today's sermon, Pastor Josh focused on the story of Jesus healing an invalid man at the Pool of Bethesda, emphasizing the man's struggle with a victim mentality after 38 years of illness. Jesus asked the man if he wanted to be healed, highlighting the challenge of moving from comfort in victimhood to accepting responsibility for one's life. Pastor Josh warned that many people, like the healed man, can become so identified with their struggles that they resist change and prefer the familiar pain to the unknown of healing. The message concluded with a reminder that true healing and freedom come from embracing the transformative power of Christ and letting go of pride and victimhood.
