I NEED MORE THAN A MIRACLE, I NEED JESUS

This sermon explored the account of the paralyzed man in Matthew 9, revealing how Jesus prioritized spiritual healing over physical restoration. We examined how the people of Israel, after 400 years of silence from God, were desperately seeking miracles to fix their circumstances rather than seeking relationship with God to transform their souls. This message calls us to move beyond situational faith—where we only seek God for what He can do—to relational faith, where we seek God for who He is. The implications for our spiritual life are profound: true peace doesn't come from solved problems but from an anchored soul that remains steadfast whether we're experiencing blessing or suffering.
