King--we must humbly allow God to rule our lives
Salt--we must remain pure to preserve the goodness in our world

New Way of Seeing: What the Blind Man Saw (Matthew Balentine)
Sunday Jan 19, 2020
Sunday Jan 19, 2020
In this sermon, Matthew Balentine examines an encounter with a blind man, who felt a lot better after he met Jesus. This man can teach us a great deal about how we can relate to God. Our problem might not be physical blindness, but we need the same thing Bartimaeus asked for—mercy.
Outline:
1. Faith is hearing and believing, even when you can't see.
2. You must resist people who hinder your spiritual progress.
3. Jesus is never too busy to pause and help you.
4. You must admit your need in order to be changed.
5. When you see the face of Jesus, you'll follow Him anywhere.
