ENCOUNTERS // Jesus Encounters the Impossible

Discover how to break free from the chains of disappointment and restore your faith through the powerful story of the man at the pool of Bethesda. For 38 years, this man waited for healing, watching others receive their breakthrough while he remained in his condition. His story mirrors many of our own experiences with unanswered prayers and delayed promises.This message explores what happens when disappointment becomes our lens for viewing life and God's work. Like David who was anointed king but spent years running for his life, or Joseph who received divine dreams but ended up falsely imprisoned, we often find ourselves questioning God's timing and methods.Learn how Jesus approaches our disappointment with the vulnerable question: 'Do you want to be made well?' This question challenges our comfort with familiar circumstances, potential victim mentality, and fear of hoping again. The breakthrough for the man at Bethesda came not through the expected waters, but through the unexpected word of Jesus.This teaching includes a personal testimony of waiting six years for housing breakthrough that finally came—but in an unexpected package. Discover why God sometimes makes us wait and how Romans 8:28 guarantees that He works all things for our good, even when the outcome doesn't match our expectations.

This sermon was recorded at a Sunday morning gathering at Church of the Lookout in Longmont, Colorado.
