Sunday Worship Experience - 09/01/2024

In the sermon delivered by Pastor, he emphasized the theme of "Blindness," focusing on the spiritual rather than physical sight. Beginning with scripture from John and Mark, he illustrated how Jesus used the healing of blind individuals, such as the man born blind and Bartimaeus, to demonstrate God's power and glory. Pastor pointed out that often our perception leads us to judgment; the disciples initially thought the blind man’s condition was due to sin. However, Jesus clarified that it was to manifest God’s works. The pastor encouraged the congregation to reflect on what guides them in life, suggesting that relying on divine direction rather than solely on what the physical eyes perceive can lead to deeper understanding and faith. Throughout the message, he stressed the importance of listening with the heart to God’s voice rather than being distracted by worldly circumstances, citing examples like social media that often cloud judgment. Pastor underscored that true faith comes from hearing the word of God, leading to healing and transformation, much like Bartimaeus who sought Jesus with fervor despite being discouraged by those around him. He called upon the listeners to close their eyes figuratively to truly 'see' God's work in their lives, reminding them that God desires to perform miracles today just as He did in the scriptures. The sermon ended with an invitation to prayer and reflection, encouraging attendees to seek a deeper relationship with God and open their spiritual eyes to His presence and guidance.
