Troubled But Not Distressed!

Pastor Shane will share this week in a series of nuggets that he has entitled, "Troubled" about different things that trouble us in life and how to overcome our troubles with God on our side.

In John 5:1-9, we encounter the account of the healing at the pool of Bethesda. Jesus finds a man who has been an invalid for thirty-eight years lying by the pool, hoping for healing when the water is stirred. Jesus asks him a simple yet profound question, "Do you want to get well?"

God's salvation is offered to every person on this planet. God, by His abundant grace, sent His Son, Jesus Christ to this earth; it is because of Christ's death on the cross, that salvation is available to all people.
