BLURRY IS STILL A BLESSING – WEEK 1

FULL SERMON – 42 MINUTES

ICE BREAKER:

SCRIPTURE:

Mark 8:22-26 NIV

Jesus Heals a Blind Man at Bethsaida

22 They came to Bethsaida, and some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him. 23 He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. When he had spit on the man’s eyes and put his hands on him, Jesus asked, “Do you see anything?”

24 He looked up and said, “I see people; they look like trees walking around.”

25 Once more Jesus put his hands on the man’s eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. 26 Jesus sent him home, saying, “Don’t even go into the village.”

 

KEEP IT UNCOMPLICATED:

Observation Questions

  • What did Jesus do first when He met the blind man? Why might he have done that?

  • Psalm 119:105 NIV says “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” What can we learn from this?

Understanding Questions

  • Can you think of a time in your life when God gave you a “blurry” answer before the full picture became clear?
  • Pastor Justice taught us that God doesn’t always show us the big picture, but enough to take a next step. What can we learn from this about taking a step in faith?

Application Questions

  • Where in your life right now are you feeling like things are still “blurry”?

Next Steps

  • Spend time praying together that God would illuminate for each person their next step in faith. Lift up specific needs and encourage one another to ask God for a miracle in our lives.

  • Consider making the decision to be baptized! Baptisms are coming up on Thursday, May 22nd and Sunday, May 25th. Sign up at freedom.church/baptism or in the app.
