John 9:1–7, 24–25, 35–38 (NASB 1995)
I Once Was Blind But Now I See

In this powerful sermon, Pastor J highlights the profound longing many of us feel for spiritual fulfillment and clarity, drawing on the story of the man born blind from John 9. He emphasizes that all individuals, regardless of their current spiritual condition—whether they are long-time believers or seekers—can encounter the healing and transformative power of Jesus. The pastor illustrates that this transformation begins with a response—believing in Jesus, recognizing our need for Him, and obeying His word. By doing so, we can move from spiritual blindness to a place of sight with renewed purpose and meaning.Pastor J further delves into three key responses essential for experiencing this transformation: responding in faith, admitting our need with humility, and walking in obedience. He stresses that faith is not about having all the answers but about trusting Jesus nonetheless. Humility, which recognizes our shortcomings, is crucial for receiving God’s grace, while obedience to Jesus leads us closer to living in truth and freedom. As he concludes, Pastor J urges the congregation to respond to Jesus' invitation for healing and new life, encouraging them not to leave without engaging with the love and purpose that Jesus offers.
