Jesus wants a personal relationship with you. The Problem with Sin John 5:2-5 Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, in Aramaic called Bethesda, which has five roofed colonnades. 3 In these lay a multitude of invalids—blind, lame, and paralyzed. 5 One man was there who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. Sin is like a sickness of the soul. Galatians 5:19-21 When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy,outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, 21 envy, drunkenness, wild parties,and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God. A Pointed Question John 5:6-7 When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, hesaid to him, “Do you want to be healed?” 7 The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I am going another steps down before me.” What excuses are you making? The Power of Jesus John 5:8-9 Jesus said to him, “Get up, take up your bed, and walk.” 9 And at once the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked. John 5:14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “See, you are well! Sin no more, that nothing worse may happen to you.” Where do you feel broken and need the healing power of Jesus? We find healing in Jesus. Matthew 9:12-13 But when he heard it, he said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. 13 Go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.” Join us for Starting Point July 14 https://lp.life/LPPCstartingpoint Interested in volunteering https://lp.life/serving
