This week’s message looks at the ones who muttered behind Jesus’ back and encourages us to inspect our own thoughts regarding His teaching.

At the end of John 6, the crowd follows Jesus to Capernaum where he continues teaching. The message is bold, shocking and so offensive that he loses many of his followers.

Pastor Wendy Payne picks up the story in John 5, as Jesus continues to explain to the Pharisees who he is. Even though there is proof through the testimony of others, the miracles that have happened, and evidence in the Scriptures, they stubbornly refuse to believe that Jesus is their Messiah.

John 5:1-15 tells the story of a crippled man at the pool of Bethesda. In those days, people with disabilities carried a stigma that caused far more despair than their physical limitations … they were social outcasts. After 38 years of placing his trust in the healing waters of the pool, the man has lost all Read more
