Sermon John 5:1-11 meeting jesus…the waters are troubled
Where to begin?????Is our life alive
He who can no longer pause to wonder, is as good as dead A Einstein
Anyone who is not lost on the rapturous awe at the power and glory of the mind behind the universe is as good as a burnt out candle
Today is the story of a man who is stuck
Man is sitting by the pool
Legend of the pool… Bethesda….the house of mercy
Of unclear value…first one in……..God doesn’t work like that
Regardless, person was stuck
We can be stuck
We have every manner of illness and trouble
Look to the wrong things to save us…..Think we are living when we are not
Questions for us
1. Do you want to get well ? Or just lay in your pitiful state
2. Do we want to get healed, or do we want Jesus
The man did not know Jesus
Doesn’t really believe….still waiting for the pool
Usually healing connected to faith, but in this case, Jesus just acts
Interesting piece here……Rise take up your mat
Its not magic…we must do what we can
Lets talk about the experience….There is an experience
Stirring the water
Trouble the waters
Stir the waters in my life
A breaking in, an invasion
Awakening………..quickening
You cant make them happen
This is a spiritual thing
Some may doubt your experience
But I know Jesus
I know the traditions I know the rules, Jesus still stirs the waters
Do you know Jesus?
How tall was he, was he a democrat or a republican?
Did he have a beard what color was his skin
jI know that I know him
he stirred the water of my life
one year ago I was unhappy and lost
now I am helaed
Many ways that God stirs the water
Worship, creation, scripture, prayer
When the water is troubled in your life….Get in
