#PickUpYourMat
“``And I wanna note this. There are four men that brought that man to Jesus. He had to walk out on his own. There is it's intentional that Jesus told him to pick up his mat and go. Because Jesus not only demonstrated his authority, he needed for the man to begin to exercise authority over the very thing that kept him. When we experience Jesus, our problems don't go away. And I grew up in the church culture. Was like, get saved. You're going to heaven. Heaven's gates, hell's flames. I was like, absolutely not going to hell. These demons look crazy in the play. They do. Right? But no one told me I'm still gonna have issues. I'm gonna go home, and I still gotta deal with this mess. And so I wanna fix that for a couple of us. Because when we meet Jesus, he doesn't remove our problems. He shows us how to carry them differently.”

“Okay.”

“Nevertheless, it is God's name. The shocking revelation tucked so subtly into this story of the great commission that I had to have it pointed out to me by a mentor just last week is that this is where the same name given to Moses is spoken by Jesus as the name of the father of the son of the holy spirit. It is that name, that holy, personal, particular name in which you were baptized. That is the name of your God and mine.”

#ShareTheRescue
“Though we love vulnerability and the messy parts of testimonies, sometimes we enjoy sharing the mess and not who got us out of it. We don't give people hope when all we talk about is our hurts, especially when we know that Jesus has moved us beyond that. In fact, we give people permission to stay broken. Yes. I've experienced church hurt that I would not wish on anyone. But if I sit here and tell you all about that, I know somebody else is gonna feel like, well, if she went through that, then I'm good. And we would miss the opportunity god has healed me, so I am required by him to move forward.”
50s
#StewardYourForgiveness
“And the man could have stayed on his mat. He could have stayed exactly where he was. He did not have to get up. And in fact, that would forever change his life Because if he did this, that meant that he's gonna be responsible. Right? Our once we're forgiven, we now have a responsibility to steward that forgiveness. we're forgiven, we are now responsible to begin to till the ground so that there is fruit that people can experience from what Jesus has done.”
58s
#HealTheHeart
“I want us to note this, that the man, it doesn't say he says anything, but also the first thing that Jesus didn't do was heal his physical condition. In fact, what he said my son, your sins are forgiven. He dealt with his heart. The issue really was not his physical. Yes, he was paralyzed, but there was something far deeper. Was his heart posture. He was far away. The anchor that was truly holding him down was his sin. His physical body was a representation how bound his soul was.”
71s
#StandingIsProof
“You're not outside of grace. You're just negotiating with it for something that's already been assigned to your name. Some of us in this room have been healed. And when I say healed, not like healed like we survived, but healed like we forgot about it. But we're still deciding like it happened last night, which is why the man's mistake is so easy to make. The world came first. Most of us want it to run backwards. We wanna feel it and then believe it. We wanna get in the water, and then we'll trust. But Jesus says standing is proof. Your testimony is not the part of your life you cleaned up. It's the part that Jesus showed up in.”
44s
#GiftWasRightThere
“``The man said he couldn't get in the water, and Jesus never put the man in the water. Jesus spoke, and thirty eight years ended in one sentence. man had organized his entire existence around getting to a place at the right time. He thought the location was the gift, and he thought that the moment was the gift, and he thought the feeling of the water moving around him would cause him to be able to experience something that he didn't deserve, but the gift was standing right in front of him the whole time.”
40s
#JesusComesBack
“Jesus healed him, and then Jesus came back for him. He found him. The first visit fixed his body. The second visit was for the rest of him. Some of us in this room got the miracle and thought that that was the end of the relationship. He's not done with you. He comes back. And what he says is the hinge of this entire message.”
35s
#GraceHealsAnyway
“Now I want you to see what Jesus does with this man's excuse. He doesn't argue with it. He doesn't correct his theology about the pool. He doesn't shame the man for not saying yes. He just gets ready to heal him anyway. Jesus is not waiting for you to give the right answer. He's not standing over your mat waiting on you to explain yourself to him.”
