Sermon: Independence Day?

(Click on above post title to listen to MP3 audio of the sermon.)

Yesterday's sermon (June 30) explores the story of the paralyzed man at the pool of Bethesda in John 5:1-18.

I believe there are significant thematic relationships between the concepts of healing, salvation, Sabbath, grace, and mercy that are found in this story. I try to bring some of them out in the sermon and challenge all of us to reconsider the greater purpose and meaning of the Sabbath.

I make a couple of references back to the children's story, which you will likely want to read first.
