The sermon centers on the transformative question, 'Wilt thou be made whole?', drawing from John 5:1–9 to confront the spiritual complacency of believers who, like the man at Bethesda, remain passive despite divine opportunity. It emphasizes that while God offers healing, power, and community, true restoration requires personal responsibility, obedience, and a willingness to move beyond self-justification and blame. The preacher underscores the danger of spiritual stagnation—rooted in bitterness, sympathy, or cultural distractions—arguing that Christians must actively engage with Scripture, the church, and the Holy Spirit to grow beyond long-term infirmities. Drawing from Romans 8, Galatians 6, and Ephesians 4, the message calls for a deliberate choice to walk in the Spirit, mortify the flesh, and bear one another's burdens not through dependency, but through mutual accountability and grace. Ultimately, the sermon is a pastoral challenge to embrace spiritual maturity, reject passive waiting, and step forward in faith, knowing that God's power is available to those who are willing to be made whole.
