In this message, guest preacher Michael Coughlin walks us through Jesus’ healing of the paralytic at Bethesda. With careful, verse-by-verse teaching, he shows how this miracle reveals both the compassion and authority of Christ—how Jesus seeks out the helpless, confronts false hopes, and speaks a word that brings true healing. The sermon challenges hearers to see themselves in the man by the pool: spiritually broken, unable to save themselves, yet invited to rise and walk by the power of Christ’s command.
