Desiring Change

For thirty-eight years a man lay by the pool of Bethesda in the same miserable condition, watching others get what he wanted. Some of us can't imagine living with a hard situation for three months. Yet many believers have grown comfortable in a crippled spiritual condition and stopped expecting anything to change.

Key Verse: "When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?" - John 5:6 (KJV)

In a crowd of sick people lying on the ground, Jesus saw this one man and asked him a searching question. In this message, Lakelan Williamson shows that Christ still notices the overlooked, and that when He speaks, His word has the power to accomplish what it commands. He asks whether we have heard the truth so often that we leave it on the pew, complaining about our condition while never truly desiring to change.

Hearing the truth is not the same as responding to it. What is Christ telling you to rise up and walk away from?
