Spiritually Disabled pt. 1
John 5:1-9
Sunday, 6/12/22

1.  Being disabled just isn’t physical but it can also be spiritual v.1-5
2 Corinthians 4:3-4, “ If our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing.  The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ.”
2.  Jesus offers us an opportunity to admit we need spiritual healing v.6
Psalm 142:1-2, “With my voice I cry out to the Lord; with my voice I plead for mercy to the Lord.  I pour out my complaint before him; I tell my trouble before him.”
3.  Hearing and responding to what Jesus says brings spiritual healing v.7-9
Isaiah 55:1-3, “Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food. Incline your ear, and come to me; hear, that your soul may live.”
Jeremiah 15:16, “Your words were found, and I ate them, and your words became to me a joy and the delight of my heart.”
Hebrews 4:12, “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”
