Sight Given. Sight Lost.

Jan 4, 2026 • Mark South

This sermon by Pastor Mark on John 9:1–41 dives into the story of Jesus healing a man born blind. The sermon explores the themes of divine initiative, the purpose of suffering, and spiritual blindness vs. physical blindness. Pastor Mark emphasizes that suffering can be an opportunity for God’s works to be displayed and that true sight begins with honesty and divine grace rather than certainty or moral superiority. The sermon encourages believers to reflect on whether they will see Jesus more clearly by the end of the year and urges a deeper, wholehearted worship.
