THE CALL TO STAND - PASTOR JOHN RANDALL
This is the session where the room changed.
Pastor John Randall preached on the crippled man at the pool — and stopped on a detail most of us read straight past. When Jesus asks him if he wants to be healed, the man does not say yes. He offers an excuse. Thirty-eight years of waiting, and when the moment finally comes he explains why it can't happen.
Men in that room recognized themselves immediately.
"We do not fight for victory, we fight from victory … Christ has already won."
Pastor John Randall
What men said afterward
- "Reached me like no one ever has."
- "I love that you pointed out that Jesus wasn't repelled by the broken."
- "What an amazing presentation loved the message. Very thankful to be given the opportunity to hear his sermon."
When men across the whole conference were later asked which single session hit them hardest, this one led every named session on the schedule.
Pastor John Randall serves at Calvary South OC and hosts A Daily Walk.
