What defines you—your past, your pain, or the label the world has placed on you?

In this powerful message, More Than a Label, Chris Simning dives into the story of the man at the Pool of Bethesda in John 5, bringing it to life through his own story of brokenness, humor, and deep hope. With raw honesty and spiritual insight, Pastor Chris invites us to consider four life-changing questions rooted in this miracle moment with Jesus:

1. Do you want to get well?
2. What is your mat—and is it paralyzing you?
3. Do you feel lost in the crowd?
4. Where will your mat lead you?

Through these questions, we’re reminded that healing often begins with movement. Sometimes, Jesus doesn’t remove our brokenness, but instead transforms it into a powerful story of empathy, connection, and purpose.

If you feel stuck, overlooked, or labeled by the world—this message is for you.

Key Takeaways:

• Jesus sees beyond your label.
• Movement is often the first step toward healing.
• Your brokenness can become a vessel of hope for others.
• God wants to work through your story, not just in spite of it.
