Miracle: Movement of Freedom
March 1, 2026
Pastor Bert continues the Lent series on "zoe" (abundant life) by examining Jesus's healing of a man who couldn't walk for 38 years at a pool in the Gospel of John. Jesus initiates this miracle without conditions, telling the man to pick up his mat despite it being the Sabbath, demonstrating that God's healing goes beyond social and religious expectations. The sermon's central question for us is Jesus's words to the man: "Do you want to be made well?"
