Message delivered by Pastor Richard Stetler during the worship service on April 19, 2026,at Resurrection Hope Congregation in Hartley, IA

In John 5:16-18, Jesus begins to give His defense of why He healed the crippled man at the pool of Bethesda on the Sabbath Day; then, told the man to pick up his bed and walk. What Jesus said to justify His actions would have made it clear that He had full authority to perform a work of love and compassion on the Sabbath Day; however, He was falsely accused of blasphemy.
