    Experiencing True Sabbath / Rest

    John 5:1-18 recounts a powerful healing, but the real message goes deeper. Jesus restores a man who had been paralyzed for 38 years—not because of his faith, but to reveal who He is. Yet instead of amazement, the religious leaders cling to their rules. Why does Jesus challenge Sabbath traditions, and what does this story teach us about true rest? More than physical healing, Jesus invites us to experience the ultimate Sabbath—eternal rest in Him.This sermon is "Experiencing True Sabbath", by Pastor Brendon Lee from Good News Church in Atlanta, GA.If this message resonates with you, consider sharing it with someone and feel free to subscribe to our channel to hear more GOOD NEWS.| About UsJoin us live every Sunday at 10am EST.

    Do Not Fear; Only Believe

    Luke 8:40-56 tells the story of two desperate people—Jairus, whose daughter was dying, and a woman suffering for years. Many touched Jesus, but only one was healed because of her faith. Jesus’ miracles weren’t about delaying death but pointing to something greater: eternal life. He came not to make our earthly lives better, but to conquer death itself. What He has done for us is even greater than what He did for Jairus' daughter.This sermon is "Do Not Fear; Only Believe", by Pastor Brendon Lee from Good News Church in Atlanta, GA.
