Title: “Get Off Your Mat”

John 5:1-9

We ask God to make us well, but the reality is we don’t even know what “well” looks like.

If your life has become a perpetual cycle of just getting through you are living far beneath the significance of what God has called you to.

You can stay on your mat, and you will still be accepted by God; but you’ll never know the joy, the impact, and the future that God has for you.

Most of us want affirmation, rather than transformation.

Let Go

Come Clean

Pain is the antidote to our denial.

God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pain. Pain is God’s megaphone to rouse a deaf world. – CS Lewis

When you experience pain you begin leaving pieces of yourself behind.

You cannot find all of God with only part of your soul.

The enemy wants you to accept your current condition, Jesus wants to make you well.

  • How is admitting you have a problem different from admitting you aren’t perfect?

  • Do you find yourself seeking transformation, or affirmation?

  • Do you tend to ignore your pain, manage it, or self-medicate?

  • Do you want to get well?
