There's a blindness that's worse than not seeing. There's a blindness that does more than make life hard, it makes finding life impossible. It's a blindness that won't find help, or love, or grace.Everyone in this passage is blind except for Jesus. And there’s only one other person who knows it. He’s the one who gets healed, the one who responds in faith and worship. This story began with Jesus seeing the blind man. And when the man born blind sees Jesus seeing him, he worships. The good news is that Jesus sees us too. May he open our eyes too, and may we likewise respond with faithful, humble obedience and worship.Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/4893026222.08.07

SERMON NOTES: https://bible.com/events/48755405How do we begin to wrap our minds and hearts around the gifts of the Spirit? Well, Paul doesn’t want us to be uninformed. He starts off Ch. 12 by saying to the church in Corinth, “Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed.” By listening to Paul and what he writes to the Corinthians, we can get closer to wrapping our minds and hearts around the gifts of the Spirit. 21.09.05

When it comes down to it, many of us are living desert lives, but what if we could have a lush, overflowing life? That is what Jesus offers us. The desert life gets stuck on how impressive Jesus looks from a human perspective. But Jesus knows that his Father’s timing is more important than human strategy. For an overflowing life, our faith has to be bigger than our ability to always know what Jesus is up to. A desert life wants Jesus to meet our every expectation without challenges, changes or disappointments. If we are not careful, we can admire Him without really believing in Him. It is so simple, yet so difficult for so many of us to receive the overflowing life by believing in Him. When we come to Jesus, thirsty and desperate, we become a river of living water that flows out to everyone around us. Bringing life to our world. We have God’s Spirit like a river of life. Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/4891615522.07.10

The reason we take the words of Jesus seriously and ask the question “Who does Jesus say that he is?” is because we believe he holds the power of life and death. For there is no other power or authority that we know who has faced death, entered death, and defeated death than the Lord Jesus. As we gather this day, to submit the fullness of our lives to the fullness of who Jesus says he is, my invitation to you is to consider his claims, listen to his word, and enter the life he offers you in his kingdom now and forever.   I pray that you would declare who he says he is. The son of God, the judge of the earth, and the giver of life.Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/4887075522.04.10

Something happens to us when someone takes notice of us. We all long to be noticed. To be seen. To be loved. Where do we turn when we feel overlooked in life?  One of the names of God - the only name a human being gives God that He holds onto - gives us incredible comfort this time of year. Join us as we continue to explore the names of God in Scripture and how they guide us into a deeper intimacy with our God. Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/4880837921.12.12

The more we internalize, trust, and believe in Jesus’ mercy for us, the more mercy, compassion, and service will be evident in us toward others. There’s a direct relationship between how loved we know we are, to how much mercy we show those around us. This is why Jesus ALWAYS points out that the one who loves Him best are always the ones who have received the most mercy. It’s also why the poor and oppressed are almost always examples of faith. If we feel better about ourselves when we consider the poor, the broken, the immigrant, the single mom, the addict, the unemployed, the unpopular, it is that moment when we must reconsider ourselves in light of grace, as rebels, and outcasts, as exiles, now brought near by the blood of Jesus Christ.21.10.17
