Bringing Scars into the Light
August 30, 2026 · John 5:1-15 (the man at the pool of Bethesda)
Discover how unacknowledged wounds keep us stuck and why naming them is the first step toward true healing. Using the story of the man at the pool of Bethesda, the sermon shows that Jesus calls us to want wellness, to rise, pick up our old identity, and walk into new life. It challenges habitual comforts, encourages confession, and points to Christ’s own wounded sacrifice as the source of our restoration, urging listeners to bring their deepest scars into the light for freedom and wholeness.
