Have you ever felt stuck? Like you're never going to get through what you're facing or back to happiness, back on track? If so, take heart and get ready to rise up.

In this message, Getting Off The Ground, Pastor Levi Lusko examines The Chosen's powerful portrayal of Jesus healing the paralyzed man at the Pool of Bethesda, revealing how Christ calls us to leave our wilderness and enter into all He has for us.

From The Chosen Season 2, Episode 4 "The Perfect Opportunity" - witness Jesus's intentional healing of a man who had been paralyzed for 38 years (the same number of years Israel wandered in the wilderness). This wasn't just physical healing - it was Jesus calling someone to completely abandon their old life.

Scripture Focus: John 5:1-15

Watch as Jesus asks the hard question: "Do you want to be made well?" Then commands the impossible: "Rise, take up your bed, and walk." Discover why sometimes the thing we think will cure us is actually the thing keeping us down.
