NoahTube / Pastor Michael's Sermons

In this sermon, Lessons from the Pool of Bethesda are drawn from John 5, where Jesus heals a man paralyzed for 38 years. The man’s mindset, fixated on others helping him into the pool, delayed his breakthrough. Lessons from the Pool of Bethesda teach that healing comes from God, not just methods like water or oil—Jesus, the Living Water, stood before him. The sermon emphasizes action, urging believers to be doers of the Word, not just hearers, as seen in Lessons from the Pool of Bethesda. Finally, carrying his mat became his testimony, a key takeaway from Lessons from the Pool of Bethesda.
