John and the Glory of God

August 27, 2025

In this week's message Ps Russell teaches on God's glory, delving into the profound meaning behind John 5:1-9, where Jesus heals a paralysed man at the Pool of Bethesda. This miraculous sign reveals the compassionate nature of God's glory - not just in majestic splendour, but in His grace, patience, and transformative love. We're reminded of Moses' encounter with God's glory in Exodus 33-34, drawing parallels to how Jesus embodied this glory in human form. This message challenges us to recognise God's glory in our everyday lives and to participate in revealing it to others. As we contemplate the healing at Bethesda, we're encouraged to respond to Jesus' question, 'Do you want to get well?' - inviting us into a deeper, more vibrant relationship with God that impacts both our present reality and eternal destiny.
