The Paralysis of Hopelessness

Описание: What’s the one thing in your life you’d change right now—if you could?

Most of us can name it instantly. But when we’re honest, the harder question is this: **Do you actually believe it can change? In this message, “The Paralysis of Hopelessness,” we open John 5 and meet a man who has been stuck for 38 years—watching other people get their breakthrough while he stays in the same place. Over time, his paralysis becomes more than physical. It becomes hopelessness.

Jesus steps into the “House of Mercy” and asks a question that cuts through excuses and disappointment: “Do you want to get well?” Not “Do you want things to improve?”—but do you want your life to change?

This sermon explores:

How disappointment paralyzes hope
How excuses paralyze faith
How Jesus heals the paralysis of hopelessness
What it looks like to take the next step in faith, even when you don’t feel ready

If you’ve been stuck, numb, tired of trying, or quietly convinced change isn’t for you—this message is an invitation back to hope. Jesus still heals. And you don’t have to stay where you are.
