Jesus Has Authority When You Feel Stuck | Signs Series (Week 2)

Signs | Week 2 — Jesus Has Authority When You Feel Stuck Have you ever felt stuck? Stuck in a situation you can’t fix… Stuck in a mindset you can’t break… Stuck in a problem that feels too big to solve… In this message, Pastor DJ Grick walks through John 5:1–15 and John 6:1–14 to show us one powerful truth: When we are stuck, Jesus is not. Through two miracles—the healing at the pool of Bethesda and the feeding of the 5,000—we see that Jesus has authority over both our internal struggles and our impossible situations. Key Truths from This Message 1. Jesus Has Authority Over Internal Stuck Places Sometimes the biggest thing holding us back isn’t our situation—it’s our mindset. Jesus asks a powerful question: “Do you want to get well?” He confronts excuses and calls us to step into the healing He provides. 2. Jesus Has Authority Over Impossible Situations When the problem feels overwhelming, Jesus is already at work. The disciples saw lack: “We only have…” Jesus saw potential. He takes what is available, brings order, gives thanks, and multiplies it. 3. Jesus Gives Power, Not Just Instructions Jesus doesn’t just tell us what to do— He gives us the power to do it. Philippians 2:13 reminds us that God works in us to will and to act according to His purpose. 4. Jesus Multiplies What We Surrender What we place in Jesus’ hands is never wasted. What seems small and insufficient becomes more than enough when surrendered to Him. Main Idea We get stuck in what we cannot fix. Jesus has authority over what we cannot change. How Do I Get Unstuck? Be honest about where you’re stuck Bring Jesus what’s in your hand Take the step He’s calling you to take You don’t need to have everything figured out. You need to trust the One who already does.
