Do You Want to Get Well? (2 of 7)
Series: The Recovery Room
Pastor Jeff Schreve
John 5
Well, if you have your Bibles, turn to John chapter 5. We're in a series called "The Recovery Room." And we're going to talk today about this question: Do you want to get well? Do you want to get well? Now, in this series, we're talking about the deep hurts of life and God's way to heal from the deep hurts.
Now, I have a hurt in my life. I have a problem, among many, in my life. And one of the problems is I'm very stiff. I mean, some people are real flexible. You see, you go to Joni's Gym and you see how flexible those kids are in there, and even some adults. And Joni herself is flexible.

He said, "Why don't you come to me." He said, "You know, I'll just do it because I love you and you're my friend." And he said, "Come to me and let me help you." And he offered to help me. And he said, "Man, you'll be like Gumby. I'll get your leg over your head." And I don't know if I want to go that far. But, you know, "I'll at least get you to where you can touch your toes." And I said, "Yeah that sounds good." And he asks me about every ...
