Pastor Jeremy continued the church's journey through the Book of John with a message from John Chapter 5 about the healing at the Pool of Bethesda. His central message was that everyone needs healing, but we must ask ourselves whether we're putting our trust in Jesus Christ or in something else. He explained that the Pool of Bethesda was a real place (confirmed by archaeological discoveries) where multitudes of sick people gathered, believing in an urban myth that an angel would stir the waters and heal the first person who entered.

When Jesus encountered the man who had been an invalid for 38 years, He asked, "Do you want to be healed?" (John 5:6). The man's response revealed he was still trusting in the pool rather than recognizing who Jesus was. Pastor Jeremy drew parallels to our own lives, explaining that we all have "magic pools" - things like career advancement, the right relationship, or financial security - that we think will heal or complete us. While these aren't necessarily bad things, the question is whether we're trusting in them or in Jesus for our healing.

Pastor Jeremy emphasized that God's plan doesn't always look the way we expect, and sometimes the answer is "not now." He concluded with John 5:24, explaining that there are only two paths: hearing Jesus' words and believing leads to eternal life, while the opposite leads to death. There is no neutral ground - we're all born on the path to death and must choose to move to the path of life through faith in Jesus. Earthly healing is temporary, but Jesus offers eternal life.
