Caution – October 26, 2026: Pain Trained You to Stay Stuck – But You’re Free | Pastor Mike Jr

To the one who stopped expecting things to change, You’ve been hurt so many times that disappointment started to feel normal. You stopped asking for more. You stopped trying to leave the pain behind, because the pain taught you it was useless to try. But what if the fence was turned off a long time ago? In this message from John 5, Pastor Mike Jr talks about the man who lay by the pool of Bethesda for 38 years, and the one question Jesus asked him: “Do you want to be made well?” He explains how repeated disappointment can train us to stay stuck, and why a delay is not a denial. God may not be changing your path. He may be correcting your pace. You’re not late. You’re learning. You’re not behind. You’re being built. "When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?" – John 5:6 💛 If this found you at the right time: 👍 Like this video so it can reach someone else who feels stuck 🔔 Subscribe and turn on notifications so you don’t miss the next word of encouragement 💬 Comment "I want it, and I’m getting up" ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎙️ ORIGINAL SERMON Pastor Mike Jr (Michael McClure Jr) – Founder of Rock City Church, Birmingham, Alabama ▶️ Full sermons on Rock City TV:    / @rockcity_tv   🎧 Rock City TV Podcast: 📸 Instagram: 📘 Rock City Birmingham on Facebook: This channel shares and highlights sermon messages for encouragement.
