Welcome to Calvary's Online Campus!

In “The Power of Real Change,” we explore the profound concept of true transformation through faith. This sermon delves into John 5:1-14, the story of Jesus healing the paralyzed man at the Pool of Bethesda who had been suffering for 38 years.

Key Points:
1. The difference between desire for change and the power to actually change
2. Why some people remain stuck in destructive patterns despite wanting freedom
3. How Jesus seeks out those who have lost hope after years of disappointment
4. The connection between physical healing and spiritual transformation
5. Why religious rules often miss the greater purpose of restoration
6. The importance of lifestyle change following spiritual breakthrough

This message speaks directly to those battling addictions, broken relationships, physical illness, or spiritual stagnation. Through examining the encounter at the Pool of Bethesda (the House of Mercy), we discover that God helps those who cannot help themselves - not those who simply help themselves as conventional wisdom suggests.

Johnny Coate shares personal encounters with individuals resistant to change, highlighting the reality that some people become comfortable in their dysfunction. Yet through Christ's compassionate question—“Do you want to be made well?”—we're challenged to examine our own desires for transformation.

This message is for anyone feeling stuck in a cycle of defeat, offering hope that true change comes not through human effort alone, but through the power of Jesus who sees us, knows our condition, and offers restoration beyond our circumstances.

We pray that you are blessed by the message!
