Do You Want to Get Well?
from Southcliff · host Dr. Carrol Marr
In this installment of the "Questions Jesus Asked" series, Dr. Carrol Marr explores one of the most probing questions in the New Testament: "Do you want to get well?" At first glance, Jesus' question to a man who had been paralyzed for 38 years seems obvious—even foolish. However, as Dr. Marr reveals, Jesus isn’t just asking about physical health; He is asking about the heart. This message breaks down the encounter at the Pool of Bethesda into three vital movements: A Question: Discover why Jesus asks if we want to be made "whole" and how we often become comfortable in our own brokenness. A Command: Learn the significance of abandoning what is incapable of helping us (the "pool") to embrace the impossible through Christ’s power. A Warning: Understand that Jesus seeks more than just our physical relief; He seeks a spiritual transformation that frees us from the power of sin. Are you looking for relief or repentance? Are you willing to fold up your mat and walk away from your past? Join us as we examine what it means to surrender our will to the Healer who makes the "pools" of this world unnecessary. Key Takeaways from this Sermon: Identity in Brokenness: Stop defining yourself by your condition and start defining yourself by your Creator. Commands are Promises: Every time God commands you to do something, He provides the power to accomplish it. Total Transformation: Jesus doesn't just fix our legs; He wants to fix our lives.
