What's Your One Thing? (March 19, 2023)

As we continue our journey through the season of Lent, we come to a rich story from John 9:1-41 about Jesus healing a man who was born blind. Even though this is an amazing miracle, it was not well received by the man’s community or by the religious leaders. Instead of celebrating the healed man’s new gift of sight, those around him interrogate him and demand to know how Jesus did it. In this sermon, Pastor Paige contrasts the man’s miraculous gift of sight with the blindness of those who refuse to see God’s healing power at work through his Son. She asks listeners to consider how God has healed them in the past, or how they are currently waiting for God to act. By hearing this gospel story in a worship service, surrounded by other believers, we are strengthened in our faith and able to more fully trust that we will experience the healing power of God in our lives, in God’s own time.
