Summary
You don't have to be whole to be healed. You've been waiting. Waiting to get your life together before you come to God. Waiting to fix yourself before you ask for help. Waiting to be perfect before you step into the pool. But God doesn't require wholeness to heal you. He requires honesty. In this message, Pastor Eric Thomas delivers one of the most transparent, grace-filled sermons of the year, using the story of the man at the pool of Bethesda to expose the real reason you're still stuck.
